According to an article on the Inside Higher Ed site, “Salaries Fell for 32.6% of Faculty.” Here are the opening paragraphs: The median salary change for faculty members in 2009-10 was 0 percent — and for many professors, no change would have been better than the decreases they experienced. The figures on faculty salaries come from the [...] I came across this just now– Susan Martin was interviewed on WEMU this morning (this opens to the mp3 file). She talked about a bunch of different things, though the thing that I was most struck by was the discussion about the budget for EMU (she basically said that if we don’t get cut, as the [...] Via my EMU news feed, I came across “Report questions university response to budget crisis,” a generic enough headline, but from the Chicago Flame Online, which I believe is the student paper at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Here are the opening paragraphs, which explains why I came across it: An outside report analyzing the [...] I came across a couple of articles today I thought that some folks– especially the faculty folk– might find interesting. First, via Inside Higher Ed comes this Jacksonville.com article, “UNF to fire professor accused of battery.” That’s the University of North Florida, btw. Here’s kind of a long quote: UNF Provost and Vice President Mark Workman [...] 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. [...] In the ongoing saga of the presence or absence of a budget surplus (see this and this), EMU-AAUP’s Howard Bunsis offers this analysis of the financial condition at EMU in response to this “Q&A” (sorta) with Chief Financial Officer John Lumm. I know, that’s a lot of reading to assign right before finals week, [...] I received an email the other day from EMU-AAUP President Susan Moeller in response to this post from late October, “Three of the many reasons why money confuses me.” Susan wrote: I have heard from some faculty that on EMUTalk some people are saying my information is incorrect on the 5.8 million dollar surplus or [...] I’m posting this because I heard this story this morning and immediately thought about the dust-up at Oakland University with the faculty contract and their new “wellness incentives” as part of their health plan: “Patient Advocates Fear Bias in Wellness Incentives,” from NPR’s “Morning Edition.” For me, the story did a very good [...] A nice op-ed piece in yesterday’s Detroit Freep from EMU-AUUP’s own Susan Moeller and Howard Bunsis: “An Inside Look at College Costs.” I agree completely with the basic points they make, that it is more important than ever to have highly qualified, tenure-track, full-time, and fairly paid professors teaching and researching (that is, [...] Well, the strike at Oakland University goes on, though the death panel part isn’t true. Probably. EMU-AAUP president Susan Moeller sent around an email tonight to update faculty on the status of the ongoing strike at Oakland. Now, my experience with previous strikes at EMU has taught me that it is really REALLY easy [...] |
