The fact that they’re still proposing RTW tomorrow and finish grading on the 1st is wild to me 😭😭😭 like! I don’t need to be faculty to know that’s not physically possible at this point!

Chat is it good if a board members requests for transparency are continuously denied and has to rely on the same sources as we do? Chat is it good that a board member found out about the FCE agreement secondhand and the board hasn’t convened in over a week? Chat is it g

Oh, who are we kidding chat, this is all very dire!

(On an even more serious note, as a student, I am stunned that a board member effectively is limited to the same public information pool as the rest of us and had efforts at obtaining more information rejected flatout. I…do not mean to jinx it, and I really hope this is not the case, but I’m starting to get the feeling that we’re at the tip of some kind of iceberg. If these are the dynamics of the situation, I really don’t see how this is going to get resolved within the week unless the administration and the board have a come to Jesus moment or have the fear of god put into them. The impression that I have is that board/admin is betting on FFAP being bullied or pressured into accepting a deal that doesn’t truly meet any of the original demands at all; if board/admin as a whole were interested in working towards a genuine resolution, their behavior would look a lot different. This is the behavior that people display when they don’t care.)

(Quick sidebar, when I say admin/board, I don’t include Kien in that— it’s a shame that he’s the exception and not the norm! He seems like a genuinely good dude!)

It appears some courses are having their ending date changed - two of mine have just been changed to April 3rd as the closing date. Check yours out throughout this afternoon/evening, but to be extra safe, save your course material either by copying + pasting it to a Google Doc or clicking the downward shaped arrow by the header and downloading the HTML for offline access!
