Academic/Personal: One Small Information Gathering Step At A Time

Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

So there was the meeting with the brother president yesterday about the new dean.

Somehow, slacker co-teacher had gotten wind of the meeting, and of course wanted to push his own agendas to the boss as usual.

But first, the time was changed to thirty minutes afterwards, so that the two other directors could be met with separately, instead of being on the same gathering as ours.

I understand why that is so, since they would have a different level of confidentiality there, but at the same time, I thought it would really just be for the faculty who were here since 2003.

It wasn't surprising that SCT would pick the one candidate for dean that wasn't close to the director of our school, who leashes him.

What he probably doesn't know is that that candidate's boundless optimism gets in the way of getting things done, as we become like an early settlement organization exploring the boundaries or what are and aren't possible instead of sticking to what years of other campuses know works.

He also brought up term limit for directors, feeling that he would be chosen as the next one, especially in his example about another school in our campus where there are only two faculty, and that they could rotate handling the position.

Also, his jabs against the director were fairly lame, about the materials ordered coming in without consultation with him (wow, as if that were really necessary) such as the remote controlled cars delivered being of the same frequency, when he himself provided a solution for that which was not implemented.

At least deliveries are fast when requested through the purchasing office.

Session 2053 has ambition besides being lazy. That's a scary combination. Class dismissed.
