How We Got Here: A Forty-Year Perspective
"In a very short time, faculty work lives have radically changed and the non-academic budget has been put to many new resource-intensive uses. The autonomy of faculty, their time expenditures and the support staff have been reduced. Diminishing shared governance has to be understood in this context.

Online Student Evaluations: Filling in the Blanks
"The last option we are likely to hear from the administration or its outside consultants is to cut non-essential administrative positions and stop hiring new administrators. But it is the one that most needs consideration."

The Flap in CLA: Merging Margins in a Budget Crunch
“Dean Soufas stressed that the restructuring of CLA interdisciplinary programs is purely an administrative policy that is not changing or affecting the curriculum of the programs, so the merger should not have any negative academic effects. Despite this, no program directors, department chairs or any other official bodies of faculty were consulted before the mergers were announced, leaving faculty across the University shocked by the decision."

On the Budget: Part II
"In my first article, I calculated that in 2009-10 Temple spent about $201 million on instructional salaries and about $89 million on noninstructional salaries in academic areas. I assume that the present noninstructional salary cost is about the same as it was a year ago. How much of that $89 million is paid to our top administrators?"

On the Budget
"Several months ago, doing some research on current American college campus life, I began to look at the operating budgets of a few universities, including Temple’s."
From the Editor
"It seems that the recent profusion of town hall meetings is, intentionally or not, in part an attempt to create a different mode of publicity for the administration – perhaps an end-around the Faculty Senate."
A Conversation With Pepón Osorio
"Pepón Osorio was awarded a distinguished MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 1999 for his internationally recognized installation art work bridging the gap between museums and communities."
Rising Attendance at Faculty Senate
"A year ago (Vol. 40, Number 3), we publicized the not especially impressive attendance rates of senators at Representative Faculty Senate meetings. At the time, we were averaging about 36 senators per
meeting out of about 120."
