Guns on Campus

Let's just ask all the bad guys to comply.

"We would prefer not to have any guns on campus," DiPietro said.

No Baofeng Policy

N4NJJ - No Baofeng Policy:

"In order to provide the best experience for all operators, our repeater system has a zero tolerance for Baofeng, Wouxon, Retevis, etc. radios. These portables do not have the ability to perform pre-emphasis/de-emphasis, which results in below acceptable audio levels. Users to the system are encouraged to operate a commercial and/or public safety grade portable or mobile. Users are also encouraged to use amateur grade gear."

And N4NJJ's open letter about the policy.

Time

With apologies to Chicago...

"Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry"

A plan to eliminate time zones.

Equitable Structure for Employee Parking

New Equitable Structure for Employee Parking Begins August 1 at UTK:

"Beginning in the fall 2016 semester, the university will begin charging for faculty and staff parking through a tiered, equitable pay structure.

The changes are the result of feedback from employees and research conducted about faculty and staff parking at other large universities.

Employee permits for the 2015-16 academic year expire on July 31. The new pay structure will take effect for permits that begin on August 1.

The new employee payment structure has four cost levels and is based on an employee’s annual compensation.

Here are the levels:

• $29,999 and under annual compensation will pay $20 per month
• $30,000 to $59,999 will pay $30 per month
• $60,000 to $149,999 will pay $35 per month
• $150,000 and over annual compensation will pay $50 per month

Most faculty and staff will see no change to the price they currently pay, while a substantial number of our staff will begin paying less."
