UT's Officially Disapproved Information Source and HISTORICAL ARCHIVE. The only source of truth, where Paradox Manifests: Hundreds of thousands of visits. Yet No One Admits to Reading It. Welcome to the "Grey Area" where "Unethical Utterances," i.e., criticisms of administrators, are commonplace. Make U.U. here where genuine civility still reigns, a.k.a., freedom......................... UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO'S EQUIVALENT TO RADIO FREE EUROPE
Jacobs' arrogance is astonishing
It's the same old, same old at UT
. . . . Either Jacobs is misleading the media or he has misled the Board of Trustees. President Jacobs objected to "the general tone" of the UT-AAUP Newsletter. Many persons on this campus object to the "general tone" of the Jacobs Administration. During his tenure as President, he has introduced an administrative culture of fear and intimidation. . . . A point of logic must be raised here, with all respect to UT AAUP, the conclusions that President Jacobs has (1) misled the media and (2) the Board of Trustees are not mutually exclusive. Both would seem likely given his considerable talent at spinning "visions." |

Nonette. How does directing our attention to the spanking new blogsite of an introverted Creationist mathemetician employed in a small private rural college help preserve our excellent liberal arts traditions and promote critical thinking and feisty issue-oriented student awareness and activism here at our university? Please articulate your own opinions and loyalty to the spirit of UT and the importance saving its liberal arts traditions instead of proselytizing for other educational institutions with narrower and more conservative perspectives on the world.
Nope, I get to say whatever I want on here and direct people to whatever I want.
Are you saying you automatically discount everything everyone says because you disagree with certain aspects of a person's life or choices?
If nothing else, how would you fight against narrower, more conservative perspectives if you never take time to listen to, address and persuade those people you disagree with? Or are you advocating the Bill O'Reilly approach where you become more correct the louder you shout?
And the point I was making was not an embracing of creationism, it was the notion that the first reaction of people looking into the situation at UT isn't "Yeah the faculty are right and the admin is wrong," it's "they're all wrong and it looks like an awful place to work."
That's unhelpful when trying to attract professors in the humanities or social sciences to UT.
If that is unhelpful then what are your suggestions? The current climate at UT and in A&S has not been favorable conditions for attracting new faculty over the last few years and that is certainly not the fault of the UT faculty. So the actions of A&S Council and Faculty Senate to push back against the dictatorship is more a problem then the conditions imposed by that dictatorship?
I've already posted my suggestions. Perhaps if you'd follow the conversations, you'd know that...
Concrete actual actions would be more helpful then ideas and criticisms. How would you deal with the situation at UT?
Not fair Nonette. Fred cannot follow your conversations. One day week before last, suddenly and without warning, you deleted every single argument you ever made. Fortunately for Fred and thousands of others who follow this blog religiously, I saved them all! With your permission, may I put them back? Or do you prefer to start over?
