Merger Of Two Medical Schools Insulates Rutgers President

NEW YORK (AP) - A string of embarrassments in Rutgers Universitys athletic department has brought calls for the ouster of the schools neuroscientist president, but for many looking at the institutions future, theres a bigger concern: helping it seamlessly absorb two medical schools and other institutions in coming months.

The integration, which was pitched by Gov. Chris Christie and approved by lawmakers in hopes that it would be a key step toward making Rutgers into a medical science research powerhouse, is to be formalized next month. Making sure it stays on course is one reason Christie and others have given for standing behind President Robert Barchi.

Clearly, decisions could have been made better and more thoughtfully, but thats not the threshold criteria by which we ought to remove university presidents, former Gov. Jim McGreevey said at a forum of his counterparts last week in Newark. The restructuring will clearly outlast this presidency, and frankly, this governorship will determine whether New Jersey is academically competitive in the physical sciences, in medical sciences and in mathematics for the next half-century.

Once the merger happens, Barchi, 66, will be left with two more main tasks: fully integrating the operations of the medical schools into Rutgers, something expected to take as long as two years. Hes also planning to deliver a strategic plan by December laying out the universitys next steps in increasing its profile.

The athletics problems came to light in April when a video was made public showing then-basketball coach Mike Rice berating players with gay slurs, throwing balls at them, and kicking and shoving them during practices from 2010 to last year. Barchi had him fired within days after the video came to light. The same week, the universitys athletic director and top in-house lawyer resigned, under pressure, for not getting rid of Rice last year when they first saw the footage. Instead, Rice was suspended and ordered to anger management counseling at the time.

Julie Hermann, a top athletic department official at the University of Louisville, was named the new athletic director May 15.

But last week came the revelation that players on the University of Tennessee volleyball team she coached in 1997 complained she had been verbally and emotionally abusive. They said in a letter at the time that she called them whores, alcoholics and learning disabled. Hermann has denied that and said that she had not heard of the letter until last week.

Barchi said last week that Hermann would still start at Rutgers as scheduled June 17.

State Sen. Barbara Buono, who is expected to win the Democratic nomination for governor in a primary election Tuesday, said last week that she has lost all confidence in Barchi. While some other members of her party have also called for Barchi to lose his job, one prominent Democrat, state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, stopped short of that after a private meeting with him Friday.

House panel rejects Hinojosa language for Valley medical school

Posted on by

AUSTIN A House panel on Friday scuttled a controversial plan being pushed by Sen. Juan Hinojosa, D-McAllen, to locate the first two years of medical education in Hidalgo County as part of a proposal to create a new mega university in the Rio Grande Valley.

The Valley delegation has been jockeying all session to push identical proposals House Bill 1000 and Senate Bill 24 to merge the University of Texas at Brownsville and the University of Texas-Pan American into a new university in the region that includes a medical school.

As part of negotiations early in the session, the Valley delegation decided to leave the decision of where to place the medical school up to UT regents, who would appoint an advisory group that could consider proposals.

However, any sense of unity among Valley lawmakers has fractured into a Hidalgo County vs. Cameron County showdown over who has final say of where the medical school facilities are ultimately located.

Hinojosa is now pushing language for Hidalgo County to host the first two years of medical education. Cameron County lawmakers are crying foul, saying Hinojosa reneged on his word to allow the UT system to pick a final location.

On Friday, the Valley beef spilled over to the House Higher Education Committee when the Senate's version of the bill made its way to the lower chamber.

I don't want to be a referee, state Rep. Drew Darby, a San Angelo Republican who sits on the House higher ed panel, said of the emerging rift between Hidalgo and Cameron counties.

State Rep. Armando Martinez, D-Weslaco, who is shepherding Hinojosa's SB 24 through the lower chamber, tried Friday to pass a substitute version of the bill that included the language locating the first two years of medical education in Hidalgo County.

But he failed when Darby opposed the plan.

Because of the agreement we had from the start I can't support this, Darby said. The body does not do well with debating regions when it comes to institutions of higher education.

Heading to Medical School in St. Maarten? Century 21 Has the Right Rental Listing

Posted on by

Cupecoy, St. Maarten, Dutch Caribbean (PRWEB) June 03, 2013

Century 21 Island Realty is gearing up to welcome the new batch of medical students to AUC in the coming weeks.

We know medical school is tough, even if it is medical school on our sunny Caribbean isle. Century 21 Island Realty agents are well versed in the needs of students to make the settling down process a cinch, says Ritika Asrani, Head Broker of Century 21 Island Realty.

The medical school is located in Cupecoy, a bustling area of the island. Century 21 agents spend much time gathering rental listings from that and surrounding areas that will best suit students needs. From long and short-term rental studios and condos to multiple bedroom apartments, Century 21s listings cater to the single student, the roommates and the young couple (with or without children).

Moving to a new place is not easy. Our agents are always happy to guide expats through setting up house on our island. Often the renter has not been on the island for a long time or has only been able to do internet research. This is where our agents knowledge of the real estate scene and the island in general comes into play, Asrani says.

Agents work with clients to ascertain their needs and seek out dwellings to match. Some students look for a home close enough to walk to the campus, other prefer to get a car or a scooter. All of that is taken into consideration when suggesting possible rentals.

Many of the rentals listed with Century 21 Island Realty are from owners who are accustomed to having medical students as renters. Like Century 21, the owners understand the intense life of a medical student and both work to ensure there is less hassle in settling down so the focus can be on studying, says Asrani.

Century 21 Island Realty agents are ready to assist new AUC medical school students as they prepare to head to St. Maarten in the coming months. Start your search early, contact us via e-mail or phone with your needs so our agents can start fine tuning your options. This way by the time you get on the island, the process is almost to completion, advised Asrani.
