Thoughts

I guess I'll use this site to vent. It is safe to put my thoughts online hoping that the people I want to read them will find them. Imagine working somewhere and calling the adminstrators on "diversity and social justice" asking them to stop bantering the words around but rather to find out the meanings and not having them doing so. Imagine writing to the Chair of the Board of Trustees and not getting an acknowledgement of the receipt of your letter. What do you call such behavior?
Imagine people serving an institution for more than ten years and are let go/fired, forced to resign without adequate notification. Staff and faculty let go two weeks before the end of the semester. No they did not steal or do anything unethical. They are just "not the right fit" for the institution. "It was better when the College was homogeneous" so said one senior member of faculty in a meeting with faculty of color. No one called this faculty member on his remarks. You see that kind of speech represents the College. This is what I encountered. It is mind numbing to think that there are still people at the helm of administration in this great country who behave in such discourteous ways. How do these people sleep at nights? Is this how they expect professionals in academic to behave? What examples or lessons are they passing on to the young?
