Our Perspective
... Faculty Senate asks for more to do less
|
 At
the same time students are asked to pay more and more, the
Faculty Senate is asking to do less and less.
With a $600 tuition hike on the horizon, 35 percent of which
will go to faculty salaries, the Faculty Senate has asked
to set the normal teaching load at nine hours a week and
remove from the Faculty Handbook the wording specifying the
number of office hours faculty members must keep.
The current handbook specifies faculty must only hold 10
posted office hours a week.
Add the proposed tuition hike, a reduced courseload and no
required office hours together and it seems as if certain
members of the faculty want more to do less.

| Courtesy on the roads ensures a safe trip
|
While driving one day, you pass a short, petite girl in a
Toyota Corolla driving down the highway.
You switch lanes in front of her, and perhaps you cut her
off.
The next thing you know, this girl drives up beside you,
throws up her middle finger, lays down on the horn and is
practically hanging out her window to ensure her obscenities
find their proper place into your ears.
Yeah, that girl was me. Not even a year ago.
I lived in Greensboro last year. If you’ve ever driven
in Greensboro, you know that traffic is insane – but
so was I.

| Bush right to ban partial-birth abortion |
“This right to life cannot be granted or denied by
government, because it does not come from government –
it comes from the creator of life.”
President George W. Bush said those words moments after he
signed into law a bill outlawing partial-birth abortions,
a procedure where the child may be “terminated”
during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and
even during birth by puncturing the child’s skull.
The bill has been a hot issue for months; less than an hour
after the President signed it into law, one federal court
filed an injunction against it, on the basis that no exception
is mentioned in the law for women whose health may be threatened
during delivery.
