Members of the community at the University of Puget Sound have heard much talk about the need for "conversations." Plenary meetings of the faculty and of the Faculty Senate are too few to accommodate all the conversations that the community could use. RUMP PARLIAMENT fosters more conversation, and, in keeping with prior slogananeering, participates in the "Culture of Evidence."

Commencement Speaker Fallout
"Enhanced Commencement Techniques" was the winning comment.
In response to my 27 February 2013 post "Commencement Speaker," the best comment was that Dr. Zimbardo might speak on "Enhanced Commencement Techniques." Nyuk! Nyuk!
Will Dr. Zimbardo get an honorary degree? He has a Ph. D. in Psychology. Perhaps the university could bestow a degree in Criminal Studies. If the university is so eager to soil its reputation, my duty is to help out. Thus: "Philip George Zimbardo is awarded a doctor of criminal studies dedeci causa nunc pro tunc ["awarded now on account of dishonor then]."
