6/12/2014: Full report now posted at https://uomatters.com/2014/06/dash-paulsons-report-on-day-1-of-the-june-12-13-trustees-meeting.html
Big news so far is that the Trustees voted to approve the delegation of authority policy as submitted by Randy Geller, with an amendment requiring Gottfredson (or his successor) to make direct reports to the board on labor negotiations. Apparently he never bothered to tell them how badly Jeff Matthews from HLGR was screwing up the GTFF negotiations, or that they’d voted to authorize a strike. Diane Dietz story here. The board also intends to work with the Senate on further revisions to the policy as needed, once Geller is gone on 7/1.
“Trustee dinner with faculty representatives.”
Who is representing me?
Gottfredson is representing you – he’s part of the faculty. Don’t you feel better?
I suspect the Trustees have the sense not to let Gottfredson or other administrators into that dinner, if they expect to have a “frank discussion” with the faculty!
The who is it? FAC?
The Board just voted down the adapted delegation of authority policy that colleagues from Law, the Senate, and the Union (among others) spent countless hours thoughtfully revising and improving.
Frankly, that bothers me a lot more than who got invited to represent the faculty at dinner. Though I’d love to know the disciplinary distribution of the “faculty research on site visits”.
oh, it was the big science labs for sure (and not wrongly). perhaps the Prevention Science Institute??
Half went to CAMCOR, other half went to info graphics
… and where are they going to hear what we think of such actions, other than when talking with faculty representatives?
