We tell those interested in becoming educators to come to Eastern. Come on, we're a great teaching school. And when they get here they see the teachers working for the school striking in the fall and on the verge of strike in the winter over contracts. The stall tactics have gone on far too long. Students are consumers of information, and paying a great deal of money for that information.
Lecturers are the provider of that information.
The University is just a middleman, a means to get the consumers and the providers together, and it's time the middleman takes a look at giving teachers and students a fair cut.
