作为一个AP他至于这样的么:
Within the department I’ve pointed out problems with resource allocation,
poor distribution of teaching load, lack of diversity among both our faculty
and students, terrible graduate admissions systems, looking the other way
regarding student plagiarism, and our neglect of our undergraduate programs
and courses, among other things. I’ve pushed for us to make course
evaluations public, hire more female faculty, and improve diversity and
retention in our introductory courses.
I’ve also been critical of misguided policies at the school level. Our
department is not growing anywhere fast enough to keep up with rising
enrollments, and is also being forced to teach a large MS program without
enjoying a fair share of the proceeds. UB also continues to enact research-
unfriendly policies, including raising its already extremely-high overhead
rates. And don’t even get me started on our efforts to encourage digital
literacy. They seem to be led by the history department and involve paying
for expensive and terrible MySpace-esque "ePortfolio" web portal software
that we now are being required to force students to use.
Make evaluations public:给教授们更大的讨好学生的压力
Hire more female faculty+improve diversity:大家最讨厌的diversity politics
还有overhead rate的事,分钱,和各种学校政策。他能有本事在六年之内把系里各个
aisle的人都得罪完了,能有6票同意已经够不错的了。
