The 28-year Degree Plan
It was getting late last night as I transcribed my notes from yesterday's meeting, so I didn't get to all of them. I must have been tired, because I overlooked this one entirely.
Copeland's resume proudly declared that he was pursuing a Masters in Public Administration from Hamline University (and I have this vague recollection that Diana highlighted that point when she introduced him at the Fursman firing meeting). The background checkers, with the diligence you'd expect, looked into this. What did they find?
In short: Over the past 14 years, he's completed six of the twelve courses required for the degree.
Maybe the dog ate his homework? Repeatedly? And this academic history was touted as a major qualification for him?
On the bright side, on the list of benefits that Sherrie Le (Human Resources director) rattled off at the mayor's request was "tuition reimbursement." Maybe that will help him finish the second half of his degree a bit more quickly.

Tuition reimbursement ... sounds like another line item to add to the old "Math Skills" worksheet of how much Copeland's gonna end up costing Maplewood.
