They say the boys, whose faces we can't show you, hoped it would be bigger than last month's Colorado high school massacre. Michael Wendling, Prosecutor, "We're talking about an actual plan that involved the obtaining of weapons through violence, your honor, and then turning these weapons on both faculty and students pursuant to a plan where they would get as many students and faculty in one close area to achieve the highest kill ratio. Last week, after receiving a tip, Port Huron police arrested the boys and two 14 year olds. They're charged with hatching an intricate plan to kill students and teachers using guns and bombs. One suspect's mother says her son has never done anything worse than talk in class.
Colleen Fick, Defendant's Mother, "He's been an honor roll student since third grade. He's never been in trouble. I think he was just with the wrong group at the wrong time. Levinson As a sign of how seriously he views the charges, Judge Shane Burleigh ordered the boys held on 100-thousand dollars bond. If convicted they could spend the rest of their lives in prison.

And post graduate placement... or where students get jobs when they get out of school.
And finally, faculty productivity-- making sure professors are teaching enough, publishing enough, and providing community service.
