| so many of these plans are utterly ridciulous, but simply aimed not on quality but the "bottom line." this university has absolutely lost its heart and its soul and now has all the trappings of a corporation rather than a family-type community. so many faculty and staff have left that we can't even function in some academic areas.
we old timers have seen this place now on a fifteen year slide, and now it's affecting us not simply on campus but across the nation. our rankings keep sliding, our morale keeps dipping, and all we see for solutions is more executive pay raises and little else.
we once were a fine university, truly polytechnic. now we are but a shell of that, tragically. |
