Colleen Day Severed ties between university, Editor-in-Chief Beaeon Hill think tank Biri^itte Carreiro The Beacon Hill Institute, once recognized by Suffolk with an News Editor honorary degree given to its founder and political activist Ray ------Shamie, has split from the university after years of controversy. In an interview with the Journal, David Tuerck, director ^ of the institute and an economics professor at Suffolk, maintained that the institute severed ties due to the university’s recent fundraising restrictions and denied proposals, amongst other reasons. Tuerck said Suffolk’s reasoning for these _ . restrictions comes froma misreading of its academic standards, and he launched a scathing attack against the university’s administration, directed particularly at'President Margaret McKenna. “What’s going on now Is worrisome and '' incomprehensible," said Tuerck. “If the president is saying that times are tough and we have to cut back, well it might not be a good idea to drive away a guy who has connections.” The facility, which employs

This is the result of collective bargaining with the university that has recently come to a resolution. This contract will be in effect until June 30, 2018. It will then be eligible for termination. Suffolk Affiliated Faculty- American Association of University Professors (SAF-AAU) is the union that represents Suffolk’s adjunct professors. They have been working hard over the past year to improve the conditions that they faced in their previous contract. It has been in effect since 2009 and was used as the framework for the new contract, but it includes many improvements. Under the old contract, adjuncts were considered

OPINION PAGES The Suffolk Iournal December 9,2013 Wait, Suffolk has an art school? NESAD demands more attention

NESAD Students Journal Contributors

There is a disconnect between Suffolk University and NESAD. To see the evidence of this, ask non-art students about NESAD. You’ll have to explain by saying, “you know, the art school part of Suffolk.” If they know Suffolk has an art school, you’ll likely get a reply along the lines of, “It’s over there on the other side of the common.” They may even point it out or know it’s on Arlington St., if you’re lucky. However, when you ask them a follow-up question, their knowledge about NESAD runs dry but it isn’t entirely their fault because NESAD is on the opposite side of Boston Common, away from the rest of Suffolk. Non-art majors are unlikely to ever take classes here unless they choose to for an elective. Since school was in session on Veterans Day, pins were distributed across campus, but not at NESAD. This was perplexing and frustrating, Skot Lindstedt/Journal Contributor seeing as I (Skot Lindstedt) am a veteran.
