I heard this story on WEMU news the other day, titled on their web site “Budget On Track; Enrollment Up at EMU” (this link will open an mp3). Ostensibly, it’s about how the enrollment numbers are up quite a bit, about how the 0/0/0% campaign is working, and how things are looking good in [...]

I totally missed this last week and just found out about it yesterday when EMU-AAUP President sent around an email to faculty about it: As reported by the Echo, “Lecturers, students protest with sit-in at Martin’s office.” Here’s the opening paragraphs:
Martin and Provost Jack Kay eventually talked to the group, but it doesn’t sound like a lot of progress was made. Click on the “Continue reading” link to read Susan Moeller’s email to faculty about all this. Continue reading “Lecturers, students protest with sit-in at Martin’s office” 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, [...] Or, perhaps she’ll go for a salad or a veggie wrap; either way, find out on Monday, February 8. I believe this was a public annoucement: Faculty, staff and students are invited to attend Conversations with the President on Monday, Feb. 8, from 1 – 2 p.m., in the Student Center dining area. President [...] I was clicking through the latest version of EMU FOCUS (some good stuff in there), when I found this curious photo/story that I thought might be of interest since there used to be some astronomy club members around here once upon a time: To quote the story/caption: NEW TELESCOPE: Members of Eastern Michigan [...] An alert EMUTalk.org reader sent me an email complementing me on posting about the “hiring/nonhiring” for the EMU government position, but then pointing out that I had missed the fact that EMU has posted an ad for University General Counsel. “Does this mean that Ken McKanders is gone or being forced out?” Well, this [...] 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. In mid-November, EMU had a press release I posted about [...] I received an email today from loyal EMUTalk.org reader Jerry Gemignani, who asked if I would post the open letter below. I don’t know much about the details, but Jerry seems to and I’ll pass this along in the spirit of EMUTalk.org as a space for exchange of ideas about all sorts of things having to do with EMU. An Open Letter Regarding the EMU Chief Government Relations Search Having had the good fortune to participate in EMU lobbying efforts in Lansing in the past, I have developed a profound appreciation for how important good government relations are in securing the resources EMU needs to be successful. That’s why I feel compelled to speak out regarding the unseemly manner in which the search for the next Chief Government Relations Officer is proceeding. Kind of an interesting/amusing article in Inside Higher Ed today called “Send in the Wolf.” “The Wolf,” as fans of the movie Pulp Fiction will recall, was the Harvey Keitel character sent in toward the end of the movie to sole a major “problem.” But in this case, the problem solvers are presidents and [...] I just got an email from “Office of the President,” and what OotP (aka Susan Martin) is discussing is various budgeting issues. Not a lot of details about how we’re going to make our way through this year, and almost nothing about next year, but there was this little nugget: Despite the uncertain [...] |
