UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI: President Frenk Doubted

September 8, 2020 Leave a comment

Frenk, who earns nearly $1.9m a year, and university officials are accused of ignoring employees’ requests to work remotely before school started, and, more recently, of manipulating data about incidents of Covid-19 on campus. Preston Taylor Stone, a 25-year-old graduate student who also teaches two introductory composition classes, believes Frenk’s decision-making appears based on his allegiance to the board of trustees and maintaining the financial viability of the university.

Green Areas Environmental Benefits: Doctors Hospital Parking and Canal

September 4, 2020 Leave a comment

The local canal waterways provide very significant environmental and community benefits along the canal to our residents.

This is especially evidenced along University Blvd in front Doctors Hospital at the corner of Pisano Ave.

The many community benefits of the green areas:

  • Provide wildlife habitat (birds, fish, reptiles, manatees…) diversity
  • Traffic calming and noise mitigation
  • Impeding views of car traffic, valet parking, buses and ambulances
  • Impeding view of Doctors Hospital buildings
  • Mitigate Doctors Hospital lighting
  • Wind and temperature mitigation in storms and hurricanes
  • CO2 capture
  • Favor canal users’ recreational boating and fishing
  • Bolster local property values

UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI: Test Infection Rate High

August 31, 2020 Leave a comment

Source: University of Miami Weekly Testing and Incidence Rate

Evidence is that the testing is rather low and the % infection is high. UM should do more random tests.

UM students are walking around Coral Gables in public with their masks in hand. They put on the masks when they step on the campus. This is better than nothing, but this is not a serious following of city, community and UM guidance and rules.
