Using My First Absence

Tonight I’m leaving for The Net Impact case competition sponsored by Vail Resorts and hosted by the business school at UC Boulder. I’m hoping to have better luck than the girl who, today, was kicked out of class and given 19 hours to write a 25 page memo on the Reply-Letter Doctrine.

WTF is the Reply-Letter Doctrine?

its a method of authentication...and i took pc over a year ago
basically if you send me a letter and i reply to that letter right on the one you sent (i.e. when you reply to an email with the old email at the bottom) that automatically authenticates my email since i am the only person that could have replied to the letter which you sent me.

or something like that.

It is CU not UC

See:

Why is the University of Colorado know as CU and not UC or U of C?
The same applies at Kansas-KU, Missouri-MU, Nebraska-NU, Oklahoma-OU and Denver-DU. "Midwestern casualness," says former CU historian Fred Casotti. It has always been this way at Colorado, for whatever reason, and at the other five listed above-but seemingly nowhere else in the USA. In the 1950s, there was a concerted effort to eliminate the use of "CU" on the Boulder campus, both as a symbol and in speech, but Casotti said that no one would buy into it. "Nobody would change," he said. "It's easier to say than U of C, UC sounds like slang or something (as in 'you see'), and it was traditional. By trying to eliminate it, they reinforced it."
