The
New York Times has been partnering with educators since the
1930s. The Times developed a readership program in
collaboration with more than 1,200 universities across the country,
serving as a resource for more than 2,000 faculty.
On Sept. 7, 2004, FHSU launched
a readership program in conjunction with The New York Times
and The Hays Daily News. The readership program is part of the
university's American Democracy Project. newspapers are distributed
across campus every weekday and are free to students, faculty
and staff. Many faculty have begun integrating The New York
Times into their curriculum, and the readership program inspired
the new Times Talk program, which began in October 2004.
Times Talk is a weekly luncheon
presentation and discussion about current issues and articles
featured in The New York Times. Dr. Paul Faber, Dean, College
of Arts and Sciences, created the program through which FHSU
faculty, staff, students and community members lead one-hour
discussions about recent Times articles. Not limited solely
to domestic and international politics, Times Talk sessions
cover business, technology, the arts, science and other topics
of interest.
