| let him not be accused of having low self-esteem |
During the faculty senate meeting yesterday (less interesting than it sounds, alas), a colleague who had been nominated for VP and withdrawn his name from consideration took the occasion of the opening for nominations "from the floor" to stand up and give a speech, yea, even a manifesto outlining the reasons he should be elected VP (which is the step previous to becoming faculty senate president). It was quite a performance, delivered passionately--but without flair, outlining convincing policy positions--for a college freshman, showing a keen eye for the pertinent issues surrounding state-supported higher education--for a person who might know what they read in teh blogs and the Jackson Sun. Seriously, it was well-meant but showed him to be somewhat of a dullard. At least in my estimation. But then, I'm not interested in an activist faculty senate president who speaks in all seriousness about we faculty members "using our collective authority and power to make positive changes to our society." Seriously, dude, after complaining about the length of the previous senate meeting, and then dropping out of the race just to use this opportunity to publicly climb back in it?
weaksauce.
plus, "society??" really??
