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." |

Didn't I see you at the Glenn Beck rally?
Let's picket outside Jamie barlowe's house.
I think we are also working towards being number 1 in lies told by our administration.
Why picket Barlowe's house?
Was she the chairman of the CSO Gang of 12?
Another example that makes me think our leaders are dragging us in circles. Saw today in utnews that there is a new College of Adult and Life-Long Learning or something to that effect...reminds me of the old College of Continuing Education that one of the previous administrations dismantled. Not that it's a bad idea, but did the current administration look back and to see why it failed? Did they even know it existed? This lack of knowledge and respect regarding institutional history is unforgiveable and will be the cause of much more waste of time and money....but then again whether it is creating or destroying a college, that's the bread and butter of administrators so they indeed must simply keep stirring the pot or they are out of a job.
I real concrete, outward sign of protest and disgust is needed to show all( faculty, staff and students} at UT how offensive this all is!
"But Hacker and Dreifus go much further, all but calling for an end to the role of universities in the production of knowledge. Spin off the med schools and research institutes, they say. University presidents “should be musing about education, not angling for another center on antiterrorist technologies.” As for the humanities, let professors do research after-hours, on top of much heavier teaching schedules."

It is an interesting read!
It is, though this essay isn't written with UT in mind. No doubt to the author, UT is one of the colleges being gutted. I'm again concerned that this essay, and indeed the authors referenced, continue to think of "administrators" as anyone who doesn't teach.
Also, I guess I'm surprised with citations to this essay and the previous study, that so many of my colleagues are so quick to embrace the far right's view of what higher education should look like.
I agree with # 3. The administration lied and said enrollment is flat when it clearly dropped 9.5 percent. Flat enrollment? Just another administrative lie.
Bloggie, can't you please not approve comments like the last one that assert a falsehood just to make this blog look bad? It's clearly someone trying to discredit this blog saying enrollment is down. We get it. One poster said it was down, he/she was wrong.
