9:16-- Hence the "in general." And if grad student reps are in the meetings, there's no need for faculty to repeat what went on to their students; that's the rep's job. Duh.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

Of course. I only repeat the specifics to our undergrads.
At departments where graduate students representatives are present in faculty meetings (and there are quite a few), this rule doesn't make much sense.

Another rule, not just for department meetings: never use "Duh" as a rough synonym for "QED".
@3:45 - Seconded. But I propose that "durh" is indeed an acceptable substitute for "QED" in these contexts.
