I would cite to a university page about it, or something like that. Don't most universities have a web page about their crest and motto and shit? Check University archives if it isn't at the admissions website.

Like, for UGA, I would cite this [link]

Yes, we do, but it just seems silly to me to cite the university's motto in a memo to the Provost. Outside of the university, sure, but not an internal document. Whatever, I will put in a cite, which will probably be edited out when it gets incorporated into a larger document.

Oh, silly I definitely grant you! But if they want it, whatever, is my motto.

I will use this post as a cite of your motto if I need to in the future.

If it's an internal document, I wouldn't do anything but put quotations around it. One presumes the provost is familiar with the motto. Externally, I'd write something like, "This program is a major tool to produce leaders... , the goal stated in the University's motto."

“Not dead yet!”

For those of you following along, Nate gave the object of his affections the zombie bunny. She was apparently quite thrilled. I haven't gotten anything more than that and I suppose I shall have to be content.

And so, it begins.

I'm with Ginger, but the document has to go up two more levels, so I'm not going to fight it.

Ginger's does sound quite sensible. Which is why it's clearly NOT going to be the answer. :)

I am needing to do some training, and avoiding it. Because it's not just "la la sure I skimmed read this document!", it's things I have to actually know. Don't wanna.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Seska, sounds like a good chance to start over at a university just maybe not made of arseholes.

I agree. This has to be a Thing Of The Good.

Feel-better~ma for Frisco!

Vortex, I agree about citing a university webpage or guide. Ridiculous as that seems to be.

Adorable. In a very Buffista way.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

in utterly first world/diamond shoes problems: my vibrator died last night. I think it might have fallen off the bed and hit the ground one too many times. This makes me sad, but i certainly can't whinge about it anywhere else. Nor can i buy a new one online today due to firewalls at work. booooo.
