Zeitgeist – The Movie

Zeitgeist – The Movie

We received this private e-mail: I got a great film for you: Zeitgeist. You can view it for free online. Do a quick search. Can be found here: http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ “There is some controversy at (CSU) Fullerton regarding this film. … A student informed me that a student was doing some research on it in the library. He wanted to screen it on campus. While in class, campus police (allegedly) came and physically removed him and interrogated him regarding his research…

Management Problem Allegedly Persists To The Level Of Incompetence?

Management Problem Allegedly Persists To The Level Of Incompetence?

This blog ran a series of articles delving into an internal problem at a state university.  We were made aware of this problem late fall of 07 and began putting up articles a few months later in an attempt to pressure the university to take action.  It took a while but the university did come around (we are not sure why) and apparently resolved the issue.  The article that once appeared here has been taken down because we think it…

City Of Angels at CSUF

CSUF Play City Of Angels 4-11-08 There are two aspects to any play, the play itself and what the theatrical group does with it. I found both to be stellar. The play was clever, contrived, funny, suggestive, naughty, and a bit too long. The implementation by the CSUF theater group was so impressive that it should either be offered for the next six months in place so the rest of Orange County and LA County can partake in this jewel…

Financial Aid Problems At A California State University

Financial Aid Problems At A California State University

We received a private communication from a family that allegedly a series of mistakes were made for the deposit of scholarship money into their son’s account. The family counted at least six mistakes made over a six month period: “Wrong check numbers, wrong names, wrong amounts…”. If your student receives scholarship money, you might want to do what this family did. “He has his own checking account and a CD just for scholarships”. Another problem came to light. It took…

CSUF NCAA Title Game Allegedly Ignored By Local Restaurant(s).

CSUF NCAA Title Game Allegedly Ignored By Local Restaurant(s).

My daughter’s soccer practice ended at 7:30 pm Thursday, March 20th, the same night that Cal State Fullerton was to play in the NCAA tournament. The last time the CSUF basketball team played in the NCAA tournament was 30 years ago. I had graduated from that school and worked as a staff member for over 30 years and thus tied to that campus. I wanted to see that game. It was televised by KDOC. Just days previous I received the…

The CSUF, RTVF, Charlie Foxtrot Explained (opinion)

The CSUF, RTVF, Charlie Foxtrot Explained (opinion)

It would appear that the alleged cancer of administrators self promotion and institutional promotion has erupted in a new place. It has metastasized itself into the KCET and CSUF joint venture project. In an effort to promote the university, allegedly at the expense of the academic mission, the university has joined in an agreement to allow the taxpayer’s facilities to be used by KCET TV station. Let me list the alleged cancerous invasions into the normal RTVF department educational process:…

Opinion Piece For about two years I have been hearing of how the educational system at the CSUF, College of Communications, more precisely the television and film program, is allegedly being poorly administered at the dean’s level and higher. I have been waiting well too long for a solution to this alleged near incompetence and thus have called it quits for glossing over this problem to help preserve the “CSUF image”, what ever that is. Let’s back up a few…

CSUF Campus Photographer

CSUF Campus Photographer

In the early part of December 2007, the California State University Daily Titan, a student on campus newspaper, published a special newsstand edition on the 50th anniversary of the campus being in existence that long. Inside the paper were the usual uplifting articles. One article covered the campus photographer, Pat O’Donnell. Problem was, Pat O’Donnell was the Public Affairs photographer. He started in 1969 as a part time lecturer. About 15 years ago he was hired half time working for…
