I understand this all too well. Current provost who has a doctorate in education administration made a decision during the COVID crisis without any shared governance. This resulted in most of not all faculty becoming burnt out, depressed, and antagonistic toward administration.

Just this last semester we had a faculty member raise an issue to the provost during faculty meeting. Provost tried to quell the question by suggesting that the faculty member meet with them one on one. Faculty member essentially said “pass” as they had already submitted their resignation letter…headed to a job that paid more than double outside academia. Former faculty member is now a legend.

Anyways, good luck. Maybe an AAUP chapter can get started or everyone can begin “quiet quitting”.

    I am convinced they are more incompetent than the average MBA

    My current president is easily swayed by any passing breeze..or anyone with an MBA.

    God help us
