Ethos speaker Bobb brings insight, integrity to speech

This week Eastern Michigan University’s College of Business will be hosting its fourth annual Ethos Week, which will see a number of professionals converge on the COB for discussions on the importance of ethics in business.

The event will culminate in a luncheon on Friday, featuring a keynote address by Robert Bobb, who was appointed by Governor Granholm as the emergency financial manager for Detroit Public Schools in January 2009.

  • Gender and toilet paper behavior Facing out or facing in? The age-old question of toilet paper rolls. I don’t mean to stereotype, but I’ve noticed that women typically put toilet paper on the roll so that it faces in, while men typically do it facing out. Part of the reason, I think, is the aesthetics/practicality dichotomy.
