I'm the president of my Gay Straight Alliance at my school, and tomorrow I'll be talking to nearly 70 teachers at my high school on the subject of bullying, specifically relating to lgbt teens. Any points that you think are very important to make?<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://phlebotomytrainingpro.net/nevada/" rel="nofollow">phlebotomy training nevada</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106007750484567313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896468232172089156.post-29640558605377761702011-02-18T05:46:19.609-08:002011-02-18T05:46:19.609-08:00There is first of all real reason to doubt that th...There is first of all real reason to doubt that there is genuine basis for a declaration of financial exigency. To be certain, a full financial analysis of UNLV's status will be required. I expect the national AAUP will assist the NFA in accomplishing that goal. UNLV has historically had significant cash reserves; we will need current information.<br /> Simply releasing tenured faculty, moreover, is unacceptable. Even when programs are closed, a very aggressive effort needs to be made to find an alternative department for a tenured faculty member. That is not only necessary employment practice under AAUP policy; it is also critical to preserving intellectual breadth and diversity on campus. Program closure, moreover, needs benefit the educational mission; it is not justifiable for financial reasons. To that end, organized faculty input is essential.<br /> We face a struggle over the future of higher education in Nevada. The national AAUP will be your partner in that struggle.<br /><br />Cary Nelson, AAUP PresidentCary Nelsonhttp://www.aaup.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896468232172089156.post-26818673290421602052011-02-17T20:35:34.955-08:002011-02-17T20:35:34.955-08:00The stadium deal depends/depended on private money...The stadium deal depends/depended on private money, so no can do...but to acknowledge Judy's point, I think Smatresk should've seen an obvious PR debacle coming re. the timing of stadium deal/financial exigency.

Hello, what is wrong here? If we aren't smart enough to do some creative accounting and put the money for a sports complex into saving academic programs and faculty then we deserve what we get.JudyNVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026612661969406834noreply@blogger.com
