Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Dennis Papazian was my teacher in U of M and this article is about his wife.

    PAPAZIAN NAMED PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY

    Armenian Weekly
    Tue, Dec 13 2011

    On Thurs., Dec. 8, Dr. Mary A. Papazian was appointed president of
    Southern Connecticut State University.

    Dr. Mary Papazian Papazian is the first Armenian woman appointed as
    president of an American university, and only the fourth Armenian to
    serve in such a position; that list includes Dr. Gregory Adamian, the
    longtime president of Bentley College in Waltham, Mass., and Dr. Vartan
    Gregorian, past president of Brown University in Providence, R.I.

    University faculty and students warmly welcomed their new president
    with a standing ovation at a press conference held on Dec. 8. "I
    am immensely excited to be taking part on this journey with you,"
    Papazian told the 300 students and faculty gathered at Southern's
    Student Center. "I promise to each of you today, it will be a journey
    of respect. It will be a journey of commitment. It will be a journey
    dedicated to excellence and to human dignity."

    Papazian is currently the provost and senior vice president for
    academic affairs at Lehman College in the Bronx, a part of City
    University of New York. She is "a fantastic choice," said Robert
    Kennedy, the interim president of the Board of Regents for Higher
    Education in Connecticut, and called her an "accomplished academic
    administrator and a prestigious scholar." More than 70 people had
    applied for the position.

    "I am delighted. I think you can sense the enthusiasm," said Susan
    Cusato, a professor and president of the SCSU Faculty Senate. "I feel
    more enthusiasm than I've felt in years. We are all very impressed with
    Dr. Papazian. I think she brings a new energy, a fresh perspective."

    Richard Balducci, who led the trustees' search, called Papazian a
    dynamic leader. "She's the type of person I think who is not afraid to
    mix it up," Balducci said. "She's a listener. I think she's willing
    to sit down with anybody, whether you are on the lower part of the
    totem pole or the higher part."

    Papazian is the wife of Dr. Dennis R. Papazian, the director of
    the Armenian Research and Publication Center at the University
    of Michigan, Dearborn. She is the daughter of Hagop and Marilyn
    Arshagouni of Northridge, Calif., and a graduate of the Ferrahian
    Armenian School. She has three degrees from UCLA, where she graduated
    summa cum laude.
