Re: Tommy Bell out at SIUC
I've always thought he simply wanted to ride the clock to get full retirement benefits from Illinois. WIU was fortunate he left before he did any more damage.

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff
First thing I wondered when I read about the Sanctuary Campus idea was how many students have DACA status? Is this a solution looking for a problem? I am sure the faculty member feels passionately about this and sees it as a moral issue, but it does seem rather tone deaf and reinforces the notion of...

Re: Western Buys More Houses

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff
The question was posed earlier on how to support this: "There's a great letter that the sensible conglomerate of the faculty started circulating to recall their union leadership and elect people that will assist in making some of these necessary, although difficult, structural reforms. I'd enco...
