There are many good people in the FA, in the Administration, in the FSN. Yet we find ourselves at this impasse time and time again. It begs for other approaches. Is it possible to use our considerable intellect to work for the common good. Or do we just squish out those pigs whose ideas are different?

We are faculty at SIUC who have enjoyed the benefits garnered by union contracts even though we do not pay union dues. We feel bad about this, we really do. Not bad enough to join, but we are offering a free meal to all Faculty Association members. It is part of our effort to rebuild civility, trust, and respect on campus.;-)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492014659405332380.post-80450538357870825022011-10-17T15:54:04.718-05:002011-10-17T15:54:04.718-05:00Anon: 9:57.
