RIT
experts and their media attention
On linking
company performance and personal paychecks
"It's the best kind of reward because it makes good, common sense,"
said Janet Barnard, RIT professor of management, in the Baltimore
Sun story, "If Company Thrives, So Do Paychecks."
On developing
'eco-parks' to recycle industrial wastes
"It won't be a major trend until people see more good examples,"
said Nabil Nasr, director of RIT's National Center for Remanufacturing
and Resource Recovery, in The New York Times story, "Turning
Industrial Waste Into Profit."
On childcare
opportunities
"Tragically, changing family norms have not been matched with
the development of accessible, affordable and quality care for
children," said Virginia Costenbader, director, RIT's School
Psychology Program, in the Chicago Tribune opinion piece,
"Can Supermoms Get Some Relief, Please?"
On teaching ethics
across the disciplines
"The minimal aim is to make a student see the ways ethical issues
permeate their discipline. It's not that students are unethical.
They just don't think about it. We're not doing well by students
if we don't get them to the point where they at least are aware
of these issues," said Wade L. Robison, RIT's Ezra A. Hale Professor
in applied ethics, in the Democrat and Chronicle story,
"RIT Mixes the Study of Ethics In All Majors."
On the Tuition
Assistance Program
"Our higher education system is an unparalleled economic development
asset that helps attract and retain business and industry. TAP
is an efficient and effective mechanism for encouraging students
to stay in the state," said Deborah Stendardi, RIT associate
vice president for University Relations in the Democrat and
Chronicle opinion piece, "Aid to Private College Students
Aids N.Y.'s Economy."
On changes within
the print industry
"Legislative standards, like marriage, can lead to happiness
and prosperity, but they also shut down other options for the
future," said Frank Cost, associate dean of RIT's College of
Imaging Arts and Sciences, in the Print and Graphics
story, "The Digital Smart Factory: Toward a Brave New World
of Printing."
On the Kinks
and their Web sites
"This whole Internet thing just hasn't piqued Ray's [Davies]
interest like it has Dave's [Davies]. But if I had to choose
between Ray spending his free time working on his Web site or
working on new recordings and projects, I'd choose the latter,"
said Dave Emlen, RIT systems analyst and owner of a Kinks' fan
site, in The New York Times story, "Kinks Stars Carry
Rivalry Online."
On the growing
acceptance of women in aviation
"Flying is the most freeing, uplifting feeling. There is no
reason to deny women that experience," said Jonona Young, RIT
professor of chemistry in the Syracuse Herald Journal
story, "Women's Roles in Aviation Soar."
