Faculty Testimonials

  • Testimonials word cloud.

  • "The process for rolling this out has been neither transparent or inclusive. To not even announce it to faculty until after they read about it in an op-ed in the Daily, and to not get input from staff (who know the most about their own jobs) was a mistake."

  • "Our staff in our department make a huge contribution to the teaching, research and service. Without them, the friction for getting things done will be immense, and the quality and amount of teaching, research and service will sharply decline."

  • "The university has been aware of this budgetary cliff (a direct result of inequitable Activity Based Budgeting) for over a decade; declaring a 'crisis' can only be an authoritarian tactic to avoid scrutiny. We must fight back."

  • "Every staff person in our department is a valued community member, and we absolutely rely on their contributions to be able to do our jobs well. I believe we need to do everything we can to protect their jobs."

  • "Staff are our peers, and we need to stand up to protect our coworkers regardless of their job, title, or position. Unions protect workers from actions like these."
