What Now??
Okay, so we've all had fun at Larry's expense.(see below) The question is what now???? Where does the university and more importantly for my local interests the College of Arts and Letters go? We seem to almost be back where we started organizationally, which is not good. By my count we have more administrators than when we were separate entities. This saves money? We're paying the football coach more than the last guy; we're paying his assistants more. This saves money. I have now taught here for twenty nine years and for practically every one of them I have been told in August (September when we were on quarters) how exciting the year will be; and, oh yes we have no money. We are going to search for a Dean for Arts and Letters. I would like to be the Dean and will do it for less than whomever you bring in. Barring that I want on the search committee. My governing motto: The First Amendment to the United States Constitution. After that everything is open. Design courses, experiment, start centers, have fun and by all means argue logically and sensibly. That is after all what we claim to teach. Should be an exciting year and oh yea we have no money.
