  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI have been saying someone should ask the squirrels, and I will present my findings to a committee if they give me three minutes.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe subject itself is serious, and the faculty are weighing how the university has handled it.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe data does not say how the vote will go, or when.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWhich means there will be amendments, and a subcommittee, and a motion to form a subcommittee about the amendments.
