After finishing the first week of classes, I'm settling into life in
Mt. Pleasant. The week got off to an interesting start with the
Faculty Association (tenure and tenure-track faculty) at CMU going on
strike Monday. Students were curious and a little confused, as they
showed up to empty classrooms throughout the day. But the students
were overwhelming supportive of the strike from what I could tell. By
late Monday afternoon the faculty were court ordered to return to work
and a Friday hearing upheld that decision, so classes have been held
as normal since Monday. See the following link for more info:
No contract, but CMU faculty in the classroom
