"iso-8859-1"<br><br>Hi All,<br><br>Called to cancel my hotel rooms
this morning, so I won't be coming this year. I've suddenly<br>realized that retirement and moving to my home in Augusta, GA are only 12 weeks away and<br>I know that I moved 50 boxes of books to Cincy when I came here. Seems to me that I've<br>still been buying books, so the thought of packing them and all my other stuff is beyond<br>intimidating, even with help from my kids and grandkids.<br><br>>From now through mid-June is the last term for the Center for Access and Transition, something<br>that deeply saddens us. I did submit a dossier for tenure and promotion, which was originally turned<br>down and then approved. It has been a crazy time, with intense pressures on faculty, staff, and<br>students. Amng other crazy things, I got an email from the Assistant Provost asking me to withdraw<br>my dossier, so I could serve on the department RPT committee. Then he decided that I could serve<br>on the committee without withdrawing my dossier. Everyone who was not tenured last
year was given<br>notification of pending termination. But the administration keeps refusing to actually fulfill the terminations,<br>giving people futile hope that their jobs will be safe. I am so glad that I decided to remain this year<br>because many of our folks are dealing with issues of depression, anxiety, and fears for the future, and<br>I'm able to provide a listening ear, and other supports. I'm working with REACH (a support service for<br>all kinds of issues) to provide support beyond merely listening to folks. The folks in REACH are also being<br>fired to be replaced by outsourced service providers. They have six months til termination and will be<br>deeply sensitized to the issues being faced by the CAT folks.<br><br>A number of CAT faculty are presenting at 4Cs this year. Please, if you can, attend their presentations,<br>and if you know of jobs opening up in the next year or so, please encourage them to apply for jobs.<br><br>I'm resigning from the exec. commi
ttee, so you can replace me with someone who can be more active.<br
>I'd suggest that you tap Aaron Kerley and/or Michelle Holley who will be presenting with Susan. But I<br>am not resigning from the group, nor from my commitment to basic writing and basic writers. Please<br>keep me on the mailing list so I can keep track of what you're all up to.<br><br>Allan, if you see Tom, be sure to say "Hi" for me.<br><br>I will for sure miss you all.<br><br>Marcia<br><br><br><br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: http://mailman.tamu-commerce.edu/pipermail/cbw_exec/attachments/20100316/3269a4f2/attachment-0001.htm<br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>CBW_Exec mailing list<br>CBW_Exec@tamu-commerce.edu<br>http://mailman.tamu-commerce.edu/mailman/listinfo/cbw_exec<br><br><br>End of CBW_Exec Digest, Vol 24, Issue 25<br>****************************************<br><br></div></div></div></span></blockquote><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Marci
