Thank you for the 5 tables from the Gunther report!

And don't worry about the formatting--they are readable as persented here, and can't be improved on without setting them up as HTML tables, which this board's software doesn't readily allow.

I do hope the Faculty Senate will put a neat and official version of the entire report on its Web pages.

Good suggestion, Robert.  I will see that senators look into this.  You may also suggest this when you visit on Friday.   Which reminds me that Amy hasn't posted the time and place for your talk.  We need to look into that.

My latest information is that the time and place of my talk would be determined late this afternoon or early this evening.


So we should be hearing from Amy Young or Mike Forster soon.

Shelby didn't collapse the colleges to be "more efficient" but rather, in one fell swoop, he terminated the deans and reorganized the colleges to send the message to the community, legislature, and IHL that he was a man of action.  Never mind that the only action was to dig a deeper hole for the university; it's all been smoke and mirrors beyond that point. The "big lie" about efficiency is just that and is very similar to the original "big lie" about economic development.  It's all about the same propaganda and the same people are perpetuating both myths.  When does the ROI study come out?

Don't forget that the reorganization was also among SFT's first concerted attacks on institutional memory.

What is it that Shelby wants nobody to be able to remember? Shared governance? Integrity in management? Bootiological indiscretions?

The bogus element in the reorganization at Clemson was redefining department chair positions as 25% administrative, then declaring that 50-odd administrative positions had been eliminated (because department chairs no longer counted).

According to Gunther's Table 1, a similar tactic was employed by the Thames regime. Deans were redefined into non-administrators. At least, that's how I interpret those FTEs in the left-hand column that range from .21 to .38.

The difference is that department chairs at Clemson do faculty work as well (a typical department chair spends 2/3's of his or her time on administration). Deans are 100% administrators.

Sorry, I meant Table 2. I didn't have it in front of me while writing my previous post.

Bob -- I'm really sorry it looks like we might not meet -- I was looking forward to it. We have a candidate in town, scheduled just within the last few days and I have to drive him back to the airport Friday night .  .  .  but you have been a real inspiration and help in times when things have looked really much worse than they look presently. Thanks for paying attention and continuing to analyze the events here for folks on the outside and the inside.

Stephen,


I'm sorry to hear that you won't be able to be at the talk.  It's a busy time of year; I'm just barely able to get away from Clemson...


My return flight isn't until Saturday afternoon.


Robert
