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 [...] 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 Susan Martin [...] 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 University’s Astronomy Club recently [...] 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 pointed [...] 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.

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 state funding, [...] Kind of an interesting little news item about former EMU interim president Craig Willis: “Interim president named for Kansas Wesleyan.” I guess he’s kind of an interim president specialist now, huh? EMU-AAUP president Susan Moeller sent around an email to faculty union members today titled “Negotiations with Administration on Phased Retirement has failed.” The text is below the “read more” part of this post. This was striking to me in a number of different ways: Just as a point of clarification: “phased retirement” is [...] |
