If you are connected to Monmouth College, we ask you to read this press release from our campus faculty @AAUP members about recent circumstances on campus. We’d appreciate any questions you want to ask and any support you can offer. More soon: https://t.co/ZRvL5rhXd2

Yes, among your 30 faculty, one professor accounted for 17% of the credit hours taught. And he is non-tenure track. No, he can’t claim 17% of your instructional budget for salary!

"Since at least the late 1960s, education researchers have known that the most important factor influencing student outcomes is teacher quality. Outside of increasing teacher quality, no other policy interventions seem to matter."

"Higher ed in the U.S. is struggling. Many of its problems are beyond its control...But there is one problem firmly under its power: administrative incompetence" https://t.co/8mjkoLjAwv

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Don’t think of it as a reorganization and budget cut, think of it as a reimagining. We want to build the department of the future! With less resources and a new reporting structure that gives you less autonomy and less job security. Let your imagination run wild!

[WMU-AAUP @WMUAAUP]

How long will universities keep pretending that their disinvestment in key employees won’t damage students’ education?

72% of Monmouth College faculty vote "yes" in a motion of "No Confidence". https://t.co/1tJ3xrYvjG

Reach out to the staff and faculty at your college or alma mater: “The lack of some comprehensive response to this job loss crisis seems heartless and irresponsible. This is a defining moral issue for higher education right now. We have to do better.”

@MonmouthAAUP faculty are excited after the first two days of remote learning (to keep everyone safe). Great to experience the student energy, to be part of a faculty and staff eager to work with our Scots. If you taught/learned today, show us or tell us a highlight

[Monmouth College AAUP @MonmouthAAUP]

@jamesmcgrew44 @MonmouthCollege We respect that too, and we'd like to engage with him and the rest of the admin in even more comprehensive solutions to the challenges our campus faces. Shared governance and transparent communication are our goals.

[Monmouth College AAUP @MonmouthAAUP]

@jamesmcgrew44 @MonmouthCollege Pres. Wyatt volunteered to take a 10% pay cut last summer. At this point, we have no word of any other senior admin staff who have taken salary reductions.

[Monmouth College AAUP @MonmouthAAUP]

@MBHinrichsen @MonmouthCollege and sorry for the extra syllable. We still can pronounce your name correctly.

[Monmouth College AAUP @MonmouthAAUP]

@MBHinrichsen @MonmouthCollege While we are glad you are doing well, we miss you, Dr. Hinrichesen, and all the care and intelligence you brought to our students and our campus and the Monmouth Community

[Monmouth College AAUP @MonmouthAAUP]

Thankful our school is included in the latest round of Covid relief aid. https://t.co/r5dF615Wk6 is a database for estimates of what each pub/private college will receive. We're eager to help our admin allocate this $1mil+to best support student learning and fac/staff well-being

In Advice: Faculty members have an incredible gift to offer students in these tense times: the opportunity to come together and learn something meaningful. https://t.co/xN8521r79y

One faculty member found the argument for slimming down the work force not convincing. "The way to relieve financial pressure isn't to fire people," she said. https://t.co/19sezF6vS9

@longlivelove7 Thanks so muc, Marissa. We are working hard to sustain and support what is best about our college—the meaningful learning relationships between students and faculty, and the staff who supports us all. We will keep working hard and are so grateful for your support.
