SACS RULES (got to serve some body)

Dear Colleagues Across the Curriculum
 (coursing w/o borders)
 
  
                           
                    SACS Rules

     Call it “the man."  Call it  “the system”
     Call it  “ the moral matrix.” IT, I said.
     Call IT whatever. Is what IT is. The Given.
 
You may be an ambassador to England or France,
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance,
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world,
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls.
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be
the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have
to serve somebody.  (B. Dylan in his Xtian phase)

It’s an environmental issue. We’re in the amniotic swim, in thrall
—no Oedipus forth coming to answer the riddle and free the city
of Thebes as it were so to speak, in manners of speaking.
 
SO… SACS rules, of course. And we must and will comply.
Like taking a course or degree:  conform to the structure, the
constraints, rules and regulations—all and always  for Good
Intentions .  Best Intentions.  Best practice!
 
Never for bad intentions. That would  be inconceivable.
It would take something like an immaculate conception
to conceive of a system  intelligently designed to hinder,
block, handicap itself.  Ridiculous. Scandalous.
 
No regulation aims to do harm. O contrary. To do good.
Save. Protect. Conserve.  Greatest good for the greatest
number takes a village and let no child be left behind.  
 
Auto poetic self-corrective & cybernetic.. Systems optimize
like cruise control, smart bombs: designed to stay on course,
hit the target ultimately not miss the mark.

As I already said: can’t imagine a system designed to self-
destruct, hinder, or confound itself. That would not be
awesome. That would be counter productive to the
awesomeness.

All is well & all is well.  xxxooo, Sam
