Thanks for the interesting suggestion, though :) Linda–if there is a way to add more than one feed into your workspace, I couldn’t find it. Thanks for the interesting suggestion, though :)

If you use CTools (ctools.umich.edu), you can set up your workspace to include News. The campus news feed that Brian notes is the default, I think, but you can change it to be whatever RSS feed you like. I didn't look to see if there is an easy way to set up multiple feeds on your workspace.

Nice! Not rss, but iCal, is the U of M Academic Calendar, <a href="//schedule.jamesflu.com/calendars/UofM%20Academic.ics" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Unofficial, though handy.

There's the unnamed (at least to me) ITCS/library blogland project, which might be something worth looking forwards to. Does anybody know of any actually useful campus RSS feeds? (Beyond http://www.umich.edu/news let's say.) I must point out, in truly pedantic style, that it's the blue disc with a 'c' (although the interesting historical angle is that it used to be blue disk with a 'k' due since it was actually a short stack of blue floppies). When my office moved in blasted exile ~2 years ago, I found and chucked several complete sets of blue-disks-with-'k's in my cube. I like it!
