Discussion of grading policy. Already over an hour. No end in sight.
Can't leave because I am up next.
Please send help!
UPDATE: Steve Bainbridge marvels, "Do Gordon and Ann take laptops to the faculty meeting and just whip them out in plain sight?"
I had my laptop, and I was connected to the internet via ethernet wire (wireless does not work well from our faculty commons) because I was doing a presentation about our new SSRN Research Paper Series. As for the general norm against laptops in faculty meetings, I don't think it is strong here, if it exists at all.

Gerry and Eric,
Although I have considered banning the internet in class, I have never done that. But even if I think that is a good idea, class is readily distinguishable from faculty meetings. Students should be actively engaged in learning during class, while as you know faculty meetings have enormous chunks of unproductive time during which the primary goal is to stay awake.

Right, and the other big difference is that during class it's the professors speaking, and at law school faculty meetings it's... um...
