WOW!!!!

i thought i knew what was going on around campus but these posts are absolutely stunning.

every student, staff, and faculty should screen the video from the senator who resigned as he identifies so many issues that have been stonewalled or paid lip service to. but with people of courage leaving positions of authority it only opens the door for even more administrative abuses--and as you put it, xiaoxue, ripping students off.

i noted on the other video the administrator speaking refused to apologize. why, i wonder, for it wasn't the students who cancelled all those classes. it wasn't students getting huge pay raises; it was haughty administrators who won't apologize for the mess they created.

now i understand the faculty senate has resigned from the P&R process because the president provided no guidance, no vision, no leadership. now the president has responded with very little of substance, and it would appear that all of the restructuring and balkanization will be abandoned after months of stress and finger pointing.

talk about a campus in total turmoil! i've never seen anything like this in more than twenty years, and it likely will take that long just to repair all the damage this leadership team has done, in your old college of business xiaoxue, in your liberal arts college lakdod, in engineering PL28, and most of all, it would seem, in our college of science. it is absolutely impressive to see about 500 students unify for a cause; i've not seen this since the old vietnam war protests when i was in high school.

yet administrators keep giving speeches about how great we are. what kind of weed are they on? or does this emperor with no clothes scene allow them even more big raises?

when will be bleeding end? are we in for even more pain?
