[lbo-talk] Disappoint With #125

[Jeffrey Fisher]

I'm trying to figure out exactly what this means. Speaking as faculty
(non-tenure-track at the moment, for the record), I see myself as precisely
not admin, and, on the other hand, as entirely pro-student . . . at least
when it comes to students learning something.

And I'll tell you another thing for sure: administration does *not* see
faculty as administration . . . faculty are simply the enemy: we cost money,
and we engage students mainly where they least like to be engaged -- namely,
in classrooms. Also, we surely get more students complaining about what they
don't like about faculty than about anything else at the school, with the
possible exception of food services, which are universally loathed pretty
much at every school I've ever been associated with (whether as student or
as faculty).
