Snark and the Chronicle

Here’s something I wouldn’t quite have expected to see:  the Chronicle of Higher Education actively making fun of an institution of… well, higher education.  (Subscription required, alas; I’ll try to post an open link as soon as one exists.)

Not to say they didn’t totally deserve it.  But I bet public relations officers the academy over are now rethinking the Chron’s place on their automatic mailing list…

    Amusing, though I can hardly blame the snark - a multicolor press release over a stoplight?  Clearly, someone’s PR budget isn’t suffering…

    As a side note KF - there’s some minor chatter about a Herder/blogger DC gathering possibly happening next week.  Are you in the area and/or interested?

    Oh, yes!  I’m definitely here.  More details, via other channels…
