Thanks Lonnie. Your guidline holds some

Thanks Lonnie. Your guidline holds some weight. Our government leaders have saddled us with nearly 16 trillion in debt. In not much of a contrast, the level of personal debt in this country is also around 16 trillion. And so our elected representatives are very representative of who we are as a people.

Excellent article you have written. Alt

Excellent article you have written. Although I believe that humanity has always been this way, I have never seen the attitude of "it isn't my fault" come out in more ways than I have within the last 20-30 years or so. People really, really need to start taking responsibility for their own actions, not blame it on society, or government, or their parents, or whatever. Sure, things happen that may not be your fault, but many, MANY more things happen that are a result (short term or long term) of decisions we make now, for better or for worse. I would like to propose a guideline of politics for you, if you don't mind. It goes like this- The people of a society will vote for those who share their values. Therefore, if you want to get a good idea of the overall quality of the people of a society, look at their leaders. We the people (who are rotten) elect leaders that are rotten, then we wonder why we have rotten leaders. Maybe we need to straighten ourselves out first!

Admin vs. Faculty fight happen every year

Details
Written by Joseph Pauline

Paul, I'm confused are you saying that "the Administration" that is sitting at the negotiating table in this union contract are the same as the people as the folks the make the athletic game run or disperse the Financial Aid? I'm not from Michigan but from California where this Admin vs. Faculty fight happen every year and I can tell you here the Administration is far and away different from staff that make the light work, athletic field run, etc. If you are arguing that Faculty benefits are at the cost of staff benefits then I would ask you to provide the same evidence that you accuse Mr. Campbell of leaving out of her piece. The pitting of Faculty vs. Students in these types of union fights always allow the administration to win resulting in fee increases for students and decreasing benefits for faculty. This weakens the university, as the best teachers go to other school that respect the value of the service and experience they bring to the table and the value of your college degree ultimately diminishes.

I support the professors' union.

I support the professors' union. Should a strike happen, I hope no students will cross the picket lines to attend classes, and that many many students will back the teaching staff by joining the picket lines. This country needs strong unions to empower the middle and lower classes.

Same level of respect as Wikipedia

Written by Paul Sullivan

While I understand that this is not an attempt to be unbiased. I would give your opinions the same level of respect as Wikipedia due to the lack of proof that some of this is true. I understand that some of your information was credited like the background of the CMUFA and I know some of the information is credible despite lack of proof. I do not disagree that the CMUFA deserves more than they have gotten, but do not forget who works on dispersing our financial aid, who makes sure athletic games are efficiently run, who make sure the internet is working so you can go on blackboard for your homework. Faculty are needed, no doubt, but the unseen work of college administrators is being greatly forgotten by the student because of the visibility of teachers vs. administrators. This is not meant to be a personal attack because I understand your intent, but here is my personal opinion on the situation

It is Not Fair

Written by Matt T

How will this effect me? I am entering my last semester of undergrad and one of my profs is in the FA. I don't find it fair if I miss a class my graduation gets delayed. My question would be are the FA and the university even thinking about the students cause it seems like they aren't at all.
