Dear Faculty Senators,
Please share this email with those you represent.
The
last week has created an opportunity for us to comment on recent
events, starting at last week's Faculty Senate Meeting but certainly not
ending there. This week, there was a press conference
with the attorneys for Lyda Carpen, Chris English, and David Wilson,
with a video shared by our faculty and available here: https://www.youtube.com/
Ben
Ramsey, Sam Miller, and Bob Wineburg have written letters to our
administrators and/or Board of Trustees as has Julie Palm. These were
all written today and with their permission I have posted them to our BB
site (under documents) and included them as attachments here.
The
moment now calls for us to stand by our shared values--to educate
ourselves and each other and to reach out with care toward others on our
campus and in the community. We also, as many of you have said,
maintain the vision of higher education as a place to critique, debate,
question, and challenge as central to maintaining the essential features
of
democratic life. We must be willing not only to hear the views of
others but to take action as well. What is included here is a
representative sample of the good people who have spoken out in that
way.

Well now Dr Brady, the UNCG genie has broken the bottle and you can't put the damned thing back inside-- guess you'd best get used to having it around doing as it damned well pleases 'cause you wasted your 3 wishes a long time ago. And from what we can tell from that press conference the only one who should have been lead away in handcuffs was Paul Mason.
