thread_title: Controversial sentence

message: I am no Rodin fan, but I think that this page needs more information on Rodin's academic career before the controversy section is further expanded.  I think that the controversy is important and deserves to be a big fat chunk of this page, but I also wonder whether it can be put together in a better way than in a "controversy" section...  The problem with this page is always going to be that the things that make Rodin interesting to read about are controversial.  It will be a challenge to document it all while remaining neutral.

thread_title: POV

message: Rodin's tenure at Penn was not without controversy and was centered around two issues: labor and the expansion of the University with its accompanying gentrification and displacement.
Rodin outsourced thousands of jobs and unsuccessfully tried to have Trammell Crow take over building services at the University.  Rodin busted the union at the Faculty Club and fought a bitter anti-union campaign at the hospital in 1999-2000.  In 2000, Penn Students Against Sweatshops took over Rodin's office after she refused to meet with the group to discuss sweatshop apparel.  After two weeks, Rodin agreed to join the Worker Rights Consortium.  Rodin consistently opposed efforts by graduate student employees to form a union,  and she refused to recognize Graduate Employees Together - University of Pennsylvania (GET-UP/AFT) after they presented a majority card petition.  The National Labor Relations Board eventually ruled after lengthy hearings that GET-UP/AFT had a right to a union election.  Independent polls showed the union winning the vote.  .  However, Penn appealed the decision requiring the election,  and the NLRB, with a new majority appointed by President George W. Bush, later ruled against graduate employees' right to organize in a decision concerning Brown University.  During a two day recognition strike by GET-UP/AFT in February of 2003, Rodin illegally threatened non-grad employees with discipline if they respected picket lines. . After the filing of this unfair labor practice charge against the University, the National Labor Relations Board brokered a settlement in 2004 in which the Penn administration publicly agreed to not break labor laws again.  .

*  Penn sweatshop sit-in has nationwide impact
also - there were a lot of stories about what Rodin did at Penn that didn't come out too well for her, the Trammel Crowe disaster, her salary topping the charts, the labor law violations, etc. - but these are more than just parts of her record - she was hired to bring economic discipline to the university, she called herself a "CEO" - she served on a number of corporate boards - that is who she was and can't be brushed away as merely "negative."
:i don't see how anything related to her corporate boards didn't turn out well for her? nothing problematic was ever raised in this area other than the traditional conversation had about every public figure and the balance the must strike between specific job and their boards. More importantly, who cares about CEO? you seriously are going to try and question the academic credentials of Rodin? I wish you were at Yale in my day, perhaps a read of her 200 articles and 8 books would help. (Bricks2183 10:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Penn Labor Dispute

message: Rodin really began to reconnect the university to the community - she changed the fortress culture that had prevailed before. New buildings opened out to the community, university money helped contribute to street lighting and other improvements beyond the campus.  Much more positive achievement occurred than is covered here.--Parkwells (talk) 01:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
