In the spirit of doing a little usability trouble-shooting for DoIT! today: how is my.emich working for you? This morning, I commented that my.emich was still not working for me, which is something that I chalked up to the system update still not being completed. Then I got an email from one of the [...] The other day, I received an email (along with pretty much every other staff and faculty member) that frankly looked a lot like spam, but which is apparently a real thing. The subject line was “Fwd: “Hello! A new exciting program you don’t want to miss!” which in my mind suggests a message from [...] Just how hot is it? Well, I just received this email via Walter Kraft and from the Provost: The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory that remains in effect through 11 p.m. tonight. Faculty and staff working in buildings on campus that are not air conditioned (Hoyt and King, for example) should [...] A couple weeks ago, I posted about my (and many others’) anxieties in moving out of Pray-Harrold and into the unknown that is Hoyt Hall, which is part of a dorm complex built around the same time as Pray-Harrold itself. Well, I and many of my colleagues have moved in, and the verdict so far is that it’s not bad. It’s even kind of good, a not insignificant improvement over where we were. It’s not all good, but let me start with the positive: I stumbled across this the other day: from AFT FACE (which is the web site for the organizing body that represents the lecturers at EMU), a story called “One Down, Two to Go: Great Lakes Bargaining Update.” Here are the opening paragraphs: Last week we updated you on all of the ongoing contingent faculty [...] This was passed along by EMU-AAUP president Susan Moeller and I thought I’d give the group some publicity here too:
More details after the “continued” part, but it looks like this is kind of an all-day sort of event– that is, if you can’t make it at 1, stop by later. I’ll be on the road, so if anyone goes and has anything interesting to say about the event, let me know. Continue reading Adjunct lecturers organizing committee rally, Tuesday 1 pm at the Student Center Myself, I will be away next week at my field’s major conference, which means I will be checking in on things here only off and on. In the mean-time, let me leave you with the very amusing “view” from David Galef in Inside Higher Ed, “Translation of the Last Department Meeting.” Perhaps being frighteningly [...] This notice just sent around from Edward Mullens: From the Physical Plant: Construction on the new science complex during winter break (March 1-5) will impact cooling units in Halle Library. Temperatures inside the library may become warmer than normal, possibly as high as 85 degrees. People using the building may want to dress in [...] … I’m a little surprised. I mean, I tend to think that the schools around here get closed a little too easily– I have accused Southeast Michiganders of being “weather babies” in the past. But EMU was closed on February 10, I believe with less snow on the ground (though that’s just a guess [...] 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.
