| Our quiet summer got a jolt of energy last night with a long and eventful board meeting. The annual budget vote spurred an outpouring of strong emotions from across the college due to its impact on compensation. If you missed the meeting, I encourage you to watch the recording found here. The Faculty Senate will continue to advocate for substantial raises until the compensation details are finalized. Until next time, may your air conditioning be frigid, sunscreen be industrial strength, and cold beverage of choice be bottomless. ~Samantha [email protected] |
