A new group of faculty, calling itself the Faculty for Sensible for Negotiation, has sent out a letter calling for desertification of the Faculty Association as the bargaining representative of SIUC's faculty. the letter calls for turning negotiations over to the Faculty Senate.
While I don't particularity care for any organization that calls itself "Sensible", as too many times that's a code word for "let's roll back regulatory protections", the FA has been around for 15 years now and seems to have had problems with all five of the administrations that have cycled through during that period. Either the university has a habit of appointing very poor chancellors and administrators (not that far fetched given the number that have cycled through) or the FA is a very contentious organization.
