Annarbor.com reported the story here, but the EMU web site has a more detailed press release here. A few highlights: Gloria Hage, who was most recently a VP and deputy general counsel at U of M. Remember that whole deal with the Board of Regents inexplicably denying a couple of faculty members tenure at pretty much the last minute? With no explanation or review? Well, judging from the email that EMU-AAUP President Susan Moeller just sent around, it would look like the union has won in the arbetration arbitration process here. [...] Okay, just to recap a bit: Way back in late October/early November, Jerry Gemignani sent and I posted “An Open Letter Regarding the EMU Chief Government Relations Search,” which raised some serious questions about the process of hiring for this position. Many comments ensued. A somewhat self-serving plug: tomorrow is the bi-annual (or is it semi-annual? well, twice a year) Celebration of Student Writing in the EMU Student Center, between 4 and 5:30 pm.

The EMU-AAUP Executive Committee has decided, in consultation with our attorneys, to take one of [...] EMU-AAUP president Susan Moeller sent around an email about the recent tenure denials by the Board of Regents, and I’m torn about posting about this here. On the one hand, this is a big deal and it’s something that people in the EMU community– not just faculty– need to be aware is going on. [...] (With three slight updates on June 25– see below): Susan Moeller sent around an email yesterday about a rather strange development coming out of the Board of Regents from their recent meeting; she wrote: It was a very sad day today at Eastern Michigan University.
