After updating to debian bookworm on friday i finally got #mapserver v8 for our mapservices. Hard to believe but #UMN #mapserver has gotten even faster. Virtually no changes to our setup necessary, apart from the new global config file. Looking forward to the possibilities for a cleaner setup of multiple services 👇 https://mapserver.org/mapfile/config.html

#UMN #MN #Data

Two former University of Minnesota employees have filed a federal lawsuit against the school over a recently reported data breach.

In the lawsuit, the two claim that the data breach “has already had serious consequences and will continue to do so,” adding that the university failed to take reasonable data security measures to protect the personal information of millions of people or to notify those affected in a timely manner.

I was attending a conference at the University of Minnesota (#UMN) in #Minneapolis. Some of the buildings on campus, such as the rear of Morrill Hall, are quite splendid.

Additional coverage.

“Of the 4,165 graduate assistants who were eligible to vote, 2,559 participated by casting a vote with 2,487 votes in favor of unionization.”

Nicely done, #Minnesota #UMN #GradStudents / #GradWorkers

The report shows how universities around the country were founded on the proceeds of land that was taken from tribes through the 1862 Morrill Act.

That included a financial bonanza — dubbed the "Minnesota windfall" — that channeled more than $500 million to the fledgling University of Minnesota from leases and sales of land taken from the Dakota tribe after the federal government hanged 38 Dakota men in Mankato, Minnesota, in December 1862, ending the U.S.-Dakota war.

A report found the University of Minnesota founding board of regents "committed genocide and ethnic cleansing of Indigenous peoples for financial gain, using the institution as a shell corporation through which to launder lands and resources."

Totaling more than 500 pages, the report marks the first time a major American university has critically examined its history with Native people, said Shannon Geshick, executive director of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council.

I saw this and was thoroughly confused why someone would be dropping the possessive from Al's Breakfast (#UMN #Minneapolis things...)

Awwww.

I loved email for life. I thought it as an earned reward after graduation. 🎓

If continued access was available through all that post-graduation alumni spam, well, I guess I could consider it.

University of MN #UMN #ArtHistory Statement:

https://cla.umn.edu/art-history/news-events/news/art-history-faculty-statement-recent-events-hamline-university

Re-upping my #introduction once more. I’m Marc, I live in Saint Paul, #Minnesota. I am a #professor in the department of applied #economics at #umn. I have worked on #development, #agriculture, and #food as well as #econometrics.

Until Jan 2024 I am one of four co-editors of the @AJAE@econtwitter.net--send us your #appliedmicro manuscripts about ag, dev, env, food, or nat res econ!

I also play a lot of electric #guitar in my spare time, mainly #jazz, #fusion, and #reggae.

Clearing out old sent-mail and stumbled on this message I sent to #UMN staff in the Office of the Vice President for Research in Dec. 2020. How remarkable to recall that only 2 years ago, we were still mostly WFH, vaccines had only just been approved (and I had pandemic long hair and beard!)
Most important memory, though: wow, my staff were heroes, all.
