Dear Commons Colleagues,

For the next five days I will be at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) on a Middle States Evaluation visit and will have limited time to post to this blog.  UPR has a most important mission and serves well the higher education needs of the people of Puerto Rico.  In many ways, it is similar to CUNY.  However, during the past year, there have been several serious issues related to budget and student strife.    I made a brief posting on this a little while ago on this blog.   I look forward to my visit and to the work of the Middle States Team.

Tony
