Hoo boy have you missed some news. 

Basically what happened is that our delegate ejected a number of nations, which sent them to the Rejected Realms.  These nations had all endorsed our delegate, and so that meant he was able to move into RR himself and take over RR's delegate seat.  This was planned as a strategic military move, and was meant to be temporary - only lasting a day or so, and then he'd give back control to RR and we'd all come back home.  What our delegate didn't anticipate was the huge public outcry over it, both within Taijitu and in the rest of the world.  Things are settling down now, but it's making foreign relations a bit sticky for us at the moment.  I'd suggest waiting awhile until people have had time to get past it.

If there's a problem with our relations with Lazarus, I strongly encourage you to post about it in the Ambassador HQ so the MoEA or DMoEA know what's going on.  Or at least message Korinna about it.

^ Couldn't have said it better myself, Mama.

Trey - I would see Eluvatar about your problem, or perhaps Oz.  He is also wise in the ways of the forum.

Should the University be sponsored by the government?

Do you mean you'd like to pay salaries to all the professors, or maybe just to professors deemed "active and worthy" contributors or somesuch?  Fund events?  Pay the Dean?

Well, I would suggest talking to the Minister of Finance about it.  Oh wait, that's you!  Nevermind that step.  Now all that's left to do is propose a law amendment to the Senate.

I think it would be nice to pay per lecture, perhaps with a minimum word count or something to ensure the quality of the service for which Professors would be paid.  Just an idea, of course.

That's all up to you to decide, as the Dean of the University.  ^_-  Propose away!

I agree; Max and quality control...BAD IDEA.

Allama, I went to Eluvatar and, though his specific idea didn't help, what I did after his idea failed fixed things, as seen by my new sig complete with Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 logos and the Watchmen smiley.
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Eye can't deal with many more of these puns.
