Michael writes: I have a question about the types of skills employers are searching for from job-seekers. I’m about to start my last year of college and if I can pick up a course or two during this year to make it easier for me to find a job in May when I graduate, I want to do it
Andrea writes: I work in retail and hate it. I have been doing it for a few years now; I kind of fell into it at first, maybe even liked it at first, but now I don’t enjoy going to work, am sick of dealing with customers, and don’t know how to escape this torture

From Marquette theologian Mark Johnson, and essay that explains the debacle that was the blundered deanship search that led to Jodi O’Brien (a lesbian whose opinions are sharply at odds with Catholic teaching) being offered the job.

We’ve blogged a lot on the recent fiasco at Marquette, in which the woman who had been selected as the new Arts & Sciences Dean had her office rescinded . Two other online sources that have been paying a lot of attention should be mentioned. One is MUProtestMay6 , which is not a blog, but just a lot of tweets from a Twitter account.
