more CSU developments in Todos Santos

It's trying to justify a reason for students and staff to go to a pretty, budding resort area and have some fun while earning college credits or a paycheck. It would have been too obvious if they did it in Cabo. I'm both cynical and skeptical of this endeavor. From the link: "The Colorado State University Todos Santos Center is the university’s first international location and is core to CSU’s mission of teaching, research, service, and outreach." How many Spanish speaking people are in TS? La Paz makes more sense. [Edited on 10-1-2016 by SFandH]

Whoa! Sounds like education is a subject that brings out the elderly nattering nabobs of negativity!

Let us know if you run into any CSU students doing cultural studies at Frank's or in the line-up.

After a concerted effort by a few to get CSU to back out of Todos Santos, looks like they are going strong.

It would have been too easy to opt out over the last couple of years if the only interest was MIRA.

CSU has a contract with MIRA. -------------------------------------------- Here is a quote from an email from a CSU executive to MIRA stating: "I spoke with several faculty and they will be ready to receive your brief document describing the types of research and outcomes MIRA is inviting from CSU." emphasis added. http://collegian.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RE_-CSU-Rese... ------------------------------------- Also, http://truthsantos.org/csu/ $1 Million Dollars of Colorado Taxpayers’ Money At Stake There has been a fanfare of publicity over Black Creek’s magnanimous $4.3 million gift to CSU, but a true gift is the voluntary transfer of property or funds to another without conditions attached. Some of the “gift” conditions imposed on CSU by Tres Santos include: CSU is required to allow Tres Santos to use the CSU name and trademarks in its marketing CSU is required to identify its research papers with corporate branding determined with Tres Santos CSU is obligated to conduct business classes targeted at enterprises within the Tres Santos Project If CSU academics openly question anything about the development, the University could forfeit more than $1,000,000 of Colorado taxpayers’ funds that have been spent to date on the construction and opening of CSU’s Tres Santos Campus. There is a clause in the Trust that spells out Events of Breach and defines it to include “any… [CSU] action that materially prejudices the brand or reputation of Tres Santos.” If that happens, the entire “gift of land and buildings” would revert to Tres Santos and CSU would be removed from the MIRA property. Colorado taxpayers would lose their entire “investment” in Mexico. ----------------------------------------------

wow....I learned a whole lotta new words in this thread...hard to decide which is my new favorite...nattering nabobs, greenwashing or trustafarians!

sounds like they are caught between a cactus and a sandy place.
