Withholding flu numbers hinders university trust

Published Sep 1, 2009

Last week our university was hit by the swine flu bug, yet the administration insists on withholding the number of students who have been infected.

Don Mills, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that the numbers fuzzy up the real issue -- the efficient treatment of sick students.

The Final Destination: So bad it’s good

Published Sep 1, 2009

For the love of God, never visit the city of Indianapolis, which is where I assume "The Final Destination" took place.

It's full of rogue ambulance drivers, shoddily constructed racetracks and escalators and construction safety standards that would make an Occupational Safety and Health Administration agent take a nail gun to his own head. Worst of all, the city's denizens are constantly being killed by the items mentioned above.



At least that's what "The Final Destination" would lead you to believe.

Nonprofit up against proposed city budget cuts, could reduce number of student interns

Students may soon feel the pinch of proposed city budget cuts as officials consider reducing funding for nonprofits and street maintenance in an effort to offset the $59 million city budget deficit.

Dale Fisseler, city manager, said Fort Worth is going to look and feel a bit different, according to a statement in the city's Web site.

Mills: Swine flu numbers withheld at request of county

Published Sep 1, 2009

The university is not releasing the number of students affected by the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu, at the request of Tarrant County Public Health, a university official said.

Don Mills, vice chancellor of student affairs, said that because the university is not testing everybody for H1N1, it would be misleading to release numbers.



"To say we have X number of cases is a guess, and it's not really helpful," Mills said.
