Last week, the Clark University Board of Trustees released a public statement in response to the Divest Clark movement. They announced that they would not be divesting Clark investments from the fossil fuel industry.

Summarily, many students were angered by this statement, and vowed to keep fighting for a fossil-free future.

However, in a response to their own previous statement, the Board of Trustees has released yet another public statement:

This has once again generated some anger within the Clark community, as students and faculty alike are now apprehensive about what the Board of Trustees will publicly state next.

Stay tuned for more speculation from the Freudian Slip on what these coming public statements may be. Will the Board of Trustees publicly state their love for another college’s Board of Trustees? WPI, perhaps? Will they publicly state that Ultimate Frisbee is not a sport? Or that hammocks will be banned from campus trees? Find out next time when you get an email from presidentsoffice@clarku.edu!

Hipster Quote of the Week:

" The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
