Today, we're talking about the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. This was not only an attack on Charlie, it was an attack on our movement, on conservatism, and on America itself. We need to demand answers about who did this, acknowledge that this was a political assassination, and demand that the assassin receive the death penalty. We want him publicly hung so that we know this evil man is gone for good.Political violence is never the answer. But if they will target someone as polite and kind as Charlie Kirk, then it's clear that every Conservative now has a target on their back. We must honor Charlie by ensuring a worthy replacement rises at Turning Point USA. This dark moment is more than tragic, it is the turning point for the USA.

Columbia University has agreed to a $200 million settlement with the Trump administration after facing allegations of failing to curtail antisemitism on their campus. This raises an important question; how should college administrators balance protecting students' rights to speak and be exposed to the widest possible range of ideas without allowing those ideas and expressions to spill over into something ugly? When does expression become dangerous? It's a fine line that must be walked. Is the Trump administration trying to make the situation better? Or does he see this as an opportunity to humble academia and exert his will upon it? Drs. Tim Slekar and Johnny Lupinacci discuss how to keep balance in the struggle of campus freedom vs. campus safety. BustED Pencils: Fully Leaded Education Talk is part of Civic Media.

Merry Christmas and Holiday Day Off For Those Who CelebrateThis is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for December 25, 2023.According to the National Weather Service there will be an almost certain chance for rain for much of Christmas Monday, with the chance for rain gradually dropping after 5 p.m. The wind also could be a problem with an east wind of 15 to 20 mph, gusting as high as 30 mph. The temperature should peak at 54 degrees, with a low dropping down to 31 degrees.For holiday travelers, the rain hitting us on Monday is projected to gradually head northeast. As of early Monday morning, most flights with delays appear to be flights coming out of west coast destinations and crossing this large front currently creeping its way through the country's midsection.As you gather around your Christmas tree this morning you will feel comfort in knowing that a judge has ruled that a 13th century English legal document does not set legal precedent for stealing trees in Iowa.According to reporting from the Iowa Capitol Dispatch, last week District Court Judge Derek Johnson denied the request of a new trial for 41-year-old Jason Levant Ferguson, who last month was found guilty by a jury of felony theft and 50 timber violations.Court records show Ferguson admitted to cutting down and taking dozens of trees from the Stoddard Wildlife Management Area near Rolfe in northwest Iowa over the course of more than a year.After the jury's verdict last month, Ferguson asked for a new trial for a variety of reasons, including his alleged protection by the Charter of the Forest, which was first issued by King Henry III at the age of 10 in the year 1217.Ferguson's attorney, Kevin Fors of Harcourt, argued that provisions of the charter became part of the United States' common law when it declared independence from England.Judge Johnson, however, was not convinced, according to reporting from the Dispatch.“The court finds that the English common law rights enumerated by the Charter of the Forest of 1217 do not apply to this case,” wrote Judge Johnson. “The Charter of the Forest explicitly applied only to the forests of England, and the laws of the United States have meaningfully and deliberately deviated from the rights granted under the charter.”The University of Iowa announced this month it is increasing staffing and expanding boundaries for its “Nite Ride” service, which provides students and staff with free rides in the areas in and around the university between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.Nite Ride uses a small bus to transport several people to their desired destinations in turn. Or for a $1 fee, Nite Ride offers direct rides in smaller vehicles.The program previously has been staffed by part-time student security officers, but the university will now have one full-time security officer dedicated to driving for Nite Ride. Campus Safety also has created a new adopt-a-weekend program in which student organizations can sign up to staff the program with their members for a weekend.Have a great Christmas. And, thank you, as always, for making us a part of your daily routine.

On this episode of FOCUS, Doug Vanderpoel joins from Mount Holyoke College to share insights into how his institution uses the TouchNet OneCard Campus ID (https://www.touchnet.com/id-management/onecard-campus-id) system to enhance the campus experience. From student ID management to ensuring campus safety and smart data monitoring, Mount Holyoke College has developed numerous unique and innovative uses for their OneCard system. Mount Holyoke College Mount Holyoke College, the oldest women's college in the U.S., was established in 1837 in South Hadley, Massachusetts. It is home to over 2,000 students and 80 major buildings across the campus' 800 acres. The college is a longtime TouchNet client, having implemented nearly every solution offered in the past 25 years. Most notable is the OneCard system, which Mount Holyoke has tailored to meet a wide range of needs. An Integrated Campus ID Program OneCard simplifies the student experience on campus. Students at Mount Holyoke use OneCard for their student ID, access to dorms and other campus buildings, meal plan swipes in the dining hall, tickets to events, vending, tracking packages, and even for POS transactions. After the school got the initial functions of OneCard up and running, they sought more ways to integrate it into campus life. Most recently, they've partnered with USEFULL (https://partners.touchnet.com/english/directory/partner/1512100/usefull-us), a TouchNet Ready Partner, to provide reusable takeout containers in the dining hall, which are monitored and paid for through OneCard. The campus also has 24/7 coffee machines that are integrated with OneCard, so students can use their ID for payment. Faculty can even use their IDs to activate the institution's gas and fuel stations to fill up the institution's fleet vehicles. Integrated safety measures The safety of students is paramount to Mount Holyoke College, as is evident in the measures they take to monitor access to dorms and buildings with OneCard. Mount Holyoke uses the system to grant or deny access to specific areas of the campus at any given time based on predetermined criteria, and on case-by-case situations if needed. When the school hosts conferences, attendees are given limited access with a visitor ID through OneCard for entry to the dining hall, presentation areas, and on-campus lodging accommodations for the duration of the conference. Mount Holyoke has also connected various sensors with the Master Security Monitor feature of OneCard to detect irregularities at sensitive places on campus. The system alerts campus staff when emergency showers and eyewash stations are used in labs, sensors are tripped in the art museum, and even when there is unexpected motion around the on-campus horse stables. Additionally, Mount Holyoke has connected panic buttons to the system as well for students and faculty to contact public safety in the case of emergencies. These panic buttons are also placed across campus in areas like the HR department, cash POS locations, practice rooms in the music department and more. If a button is pressed, public safety is notified immediately to respond to the location. OneCard as a data source The OneCard system is constantly gathering data, which Mount Holyoke decided to put to work in making informed decisions. It has given valuable insights into student behavior surrounding meal plans, dining hours, and dormitory capacity. The integration of the system with POS systems also aids in tracking popular food items, easing the product ordering process. Additionally, the ability to generate reports on dormitory usage and visitor patterns helps optimize campus resources. The key to implementation Having the right partner can make all the difference when setting up a system like OneCard. Listening to your teams and being communicative is one of the easiest ways to gain faculty and student adoption. “Just build good relationships and listen to people's issues and problems and know your system and understand that you can have an effect on that,” said Vanderpoel. As Mount Holyoke stands to prove, OneCard can be used in countless ways across campus. With the right approach and the right team, your institution can unlock the full potential of technology to enhance the overall student experience. Special Guest: Doug Vanderpoel.
