More often than not, students and organizations pay only lip service to their supposed environmental concerns. This situation involves lots of talk and little action, as we have seen oil companies like Exxon and Chevron hilariously exemplify. Unfortunately, AU students often follow the trend - they talk a big game but change little in their lives. Light bulbs stay incandescent, newspapers end up in garbage cans and things generally just don't change. Not everyone is guilty, but many undoubtedly are.
Business Week magazine has ranked the Kogod School of Business as one of the top 30 best undergraduate business schools, according to an AU press release.

After years of effort, it appears as if those who have long strived for D.C. voting rights might finally have their wish. The U.S. Senate has scheduled a preliminary vote on Feb. 24 on a measure to give D.C. full voting rights in the U.S. House of Representatives. It is very likely that the bill will pass through Congress and be signed into law by President Obama. So, is this the end of the long debate on DC's political representation?
O, what fortune that a man is writing this review! For never before has a performance represented all that is Woman and all that is the game she plays like the Shakespeare Theatre Company's "The Dog in the Manger."

In an Op-Ed piece last week, professor Caleb Stewart Rossiter asserted "AU's 'Green Teaching Certificate' promotes bias." As the manager of the Center for Teaching Excellence's Faculty Corner, which administrates this program, I feel that professor Rossiter misrepresented the intent of the Green Teaching Certificate.
Imagine the surprise of a student who comes to Washington, pays over $150,000 for an education, graduates with honors, and leaves the university only to find that among the faculty from whom she learned, there remain supporters of fallacious reasoning and archaic ideas. In an appalling Op-Ed piece appearing in Monday's Eagle ("AU's 'Green Teaching' Certificate Promotes Bias"), Professor Rossiter shows his lack of understanding of the Green Teaching Certification, calls the environmental movement simply a "particular conclusion about the tradeoff between the environment and the economy," and ignores that climate change has been significantly linked to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions by an international panel of Nobel Prize-winning scientists (www.ipcc.ch).
Two years ago, I asked panelists at a Kennedy Political Union forum, "Why is it that whenever the United States intervenes in an international problem, nations accuse her of imperialism, but when the United States chooses not to intervene, they accuse her of indifference and neglect?" Certainly being a global leader is no easy task for the nation - so often the citizens of the world contradictorily demand both assistance and autonomy from the United States. President Obama's dilemma may be even greater than that of some of his predecessors. He faces a time when many in the United States are too preoccupied with their own economic troubles to be concerned about the nation's standing in the global community.
