I feel like resistance is futile at this point. That's what I got from todays call.
Now, can the Faculty Union sue if the CBA is violated? I don't know.
And if I were leading the resistance, I'd probably shift to voicing my concerns to the Legislature. I don't know if this will work.
It's pretty clear that the BOG are enamored with Greenstein and this plan. And he is a smart guy. I just don't think he has visibility towards every level of these orgs and I don't know that the consultants do either.

- 11 appointed by the governor
- 3 are current Student Government presidents
- 4 are legislators, 2 each from the house majority and minority leaders
- the Governor
- the Secretary of Education (appointed by the governor)
There's very little critical thinking going on in here. Folks probably don't veer far from the mindset they first bring: everything PASSHE does is rainbows or they've gotta rein in these spend-happy liberals.

- 4 are legislators, 2 each from the house majority and minority leaders
- the Governor

The people that approve this will take credit for it...until the iceburg appears. Then, they'll look for people to blame.

Saw this in the IG. I think the ongoing references to the triads as "powerhouse institutions" lack credibility. In fact, it's ridiculous.

That's the PASSHE PR machine. They say that quite frequently in their calls. That they're not just going to survive, but thrive.
Frankly, I think a reason they say it is because they have to grow for atleast 1 of the Triads to survive. Even with the cost savings projections and enrollment growth that I'd say is optimistic at best in these plans...the West takes a long time to come out of the hole it's in. IF for some reason, their enrollment dips below projections...there might be big trouble.
Now, how 3 schools that have been losing enrollment year over year for almost a decade merge and become a powerhouse under a new name...I don't know. Seems far-fetched to me.
