College of Science Uproar
It appears that politics is reasing its head yet again at SIUC, this time in the College of Science, as three of the departments have votes of "no confidence" in Dean Jay Means on record, while the five other departments have a "we don't know what you're talking about," attitude towards the matter. Meanwhile, one math professor is disturbed enough by Dean Means's response, or lack thereof, to write a letter to the DE. Just another day at SIUC.

I think if you read the newspaper carefully, the people who don't know what is happening are the department chairs. Funny how easy it is to fool 20 year old reporters. Any close examination of SIU politics suggests that department chairmen are worthless, well paid, administration whores. So, unless you consult the professors in the departments, you have no idea that is known and not known about this situation.
ReplyDeleteThe amazing thing is a vote of any group of professors that is 72-2. Could they get that high a vote for a 100% pay raise?
Nice to almost meet you in the Pig Out token booth. As I said then, I like your blog.

Yep, I noticed those vote numbers also.
ReplyDeleteNice to almost meet you too. I thought you had abandoned C'dale for the more blissful climes of Oregon.
