Rewarding teachers who care

My dad's new initiative at Kent State has hit about 120 news outlets today:

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Kent State University is offering financial bonuses to professors if they help student retention numbers and attract more research dollars, an incentive usually given to school presidents and top administrators.

Beginning this semester, 864 faculty members at Kent State stand to gain from a ''success pool'' if university goals are met for student retention and landing research grants and foundation money. The university, about 30 miles southeast of Cleveland, has eight campuses and 34,000 students.

''This is America. We live in a country that suggests extra effort should be rewarded,'' Kent State President Lester A. Lefton said Tuesday.

The US Senate antitrust panel queried cell phone firms today on the puzzling rise in the cost of text messages to consumers, seeing as the cost of sending them hasn't changed a cent. Why it should cost me $20 a month to send tiny packets of data is, I suppose the firms figure, beyond my limited understanding of technology.

160 characters must be a lotta data for that kind of money! Math sure is hard.
