Millennial Law Prof isn't really on hiatus so much as its author is stumped. I've been appointed as the Assistant Dean for Academic Advising and have been contemplating the line between discussing issues that impact and result from having Millennials as the most-represented generation in law schools while not wanting to write anything that might give the students I work with the impression that I automatically favor or disfavor any particular generation or group of students. I'm also gaining some interesting insight into working with more Millennials more closely and seeing more closely how they relate to not only me but also their other professors. Unfortunately, while fascinating, most of that stuff is all off limits for public discussion.
I'm also exhausted. I'm certainly far from the first person to balance an administrative post with teaching, and I love both of my roles. But having office hours that can span for 8 or 10 hours sometimes is a shock to my come-and-go-as-you-please faculty constitution.
With the first two weeks of the semester behind me, though, I'm turning back to my research and writing and thinking again about Millennial issues.

Congrats on the new position. I am sure you can bring a lot of insight from your generational knowledge.
At a meeting among teachers yesterday, I heard the Millennials referred to as the T-Ball Generation. I am not certain as to why. Any thoughts on that label?
I have heard T-ball in reference to Gen-Y b/c all games ended in a tie.. No winners or losers. Evidence that many Gen-Y were coddled by their parents, etc.
