Several reports were issued to that affect. Northern Today headlines the new mission of the retooled faculty development office as promoting technology and teaching. Provost claims that there was no question that that's what everyone wanted. Shared governance, ain't it wonderful. And, don't we need some open media on this campus.
Reasonable people can disagree on the direction of the development office.
Moody could be right and the faculty committees wrong. The whole thing reminds me of an encounter I had years ago with a mid ranking administrator. He and I were fighting on something, not of any personal benefit to me, just one of those issues. The honesty of the statement appealed to me. In my encounters with this person I've always tried to be open and helpful.
