...argued in this paper that when the UC looks at a grant, it is “trying hard not to make value judgments about the content of the event itself.” Given the limits on the grants fund, however, it is absurd for FiCom to avoid evaluating the events that it spends student money on—FiCom’s primary job, after all, is to determine how our money is best spent. Further, FiCom is already making judgments: this semester, only 60 percent of the money requested was actually awarded. But without a budget...

It is a book that provides validation and comfort for non-readers, arguing that people feel unnecessary guilt for not having read a book.Bayard is attempting to alleviate their guilt and give them the tools to avoid feeling excluded from the book-reading community.While I’m skeptical of the logic of a book that argues against reading, Bayard is onto something. Why do we feel the need to fake it in casual conversation? The idea that there is a canon of great literature that one must read...
