Hurrah
      for
      the
      professors
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      There's
      been
      a
      lot
      of
      talk
     
     
      lately
      about
      the
      faculty
      going
      on
     
     
      strike
      and
      people
      seem
      confused
      by
     
     
      what
      they're
      hearing.
      I'm
      hear
      to
     
     
      tell
      you
      what
      you
      need
      to
      know
     
     
      before
      you
      go
      egging
      your
      profes-
     
     
      sors'
      houses
      in
      some
      sort
      of
      retribu-
     
     
      tion.
      ws
     
     
      Many
      of
      you
      have
      probably
     
     
      read
      the
      article
      by
      the
      administra-
     
     
      tion
      in
      either
      The
      Guardian
      or
      the
     
     
      Journal
      Pioneer,
      which
      makes
      the
     
     
      faculty
      out
      to
      be
      the
      greedy
      bad
      w
     
     
      guys.
      This
      was
      the
      first
      move
      on
      ¢
      r
      zy

      ppy
      because
      they
     
     
      the
      administration
      and
      it
      drew
      believe
      is:
      .
      s
      receiving
      quality
      education,
      7
     
     
      blood.
      The
      article,
      quite
      frankly,
      :
     
     
      pissed
      off
      many
      professors
      and
      just
      .
     
     
      gave
      them
      more
      fuel
      toward
      strike
     
     
      action.
      What
      the
      admins
      should
     
     
      have
      done,
      was
      to
      tell
      the
      faculty
     
     
      association
      they
      would
      be
      running
     
     
      the
      article
      and
      give
      them
      an
      oppor-
     
     
      tunity
      to
      voice
      their
      concerns
      in
      the
     
     
      public
      area
      as
      well,
      so
      people
      could}
     
     
      read
      both
      sides
      of
      the
      story.
      In
      this,
     
     
      way,
      the
      public
      and
      the
      students
     
     
      could
      see
      the
      whole
      picture,
     
     
      instead
      of
      believing
      that
      the
      teach-
     
     
      ers
      are
      against
      us
      and
      just
      want
     
     
      more
      money.
     
    

    
     
      On
      the
      topic
      of
      money,
      do
     
     
      you
      know
      what
      the
      administration
     
     
      sees
      when
      they
      walk
      by
      you
      on

      I
      feel
      that
      UPEI
      is
      a
      great
     
     
      place
      to
      receive
      high
      quality
      educa-
     
     
      tion
      because
      of
      the
      time
      and
      effort
     
     
      put
      forth
      from
      the
      professors.
     
     
      Many
      of
      us
      have
      likely
      gone
      to
      see
     
     
      one
      for
      extra
      help
      and
      walked
     
     
      away
      knowing
      more
      than
      you
      went
     
     
      in
      with.
      You
      can't
      get
      this
      one-on-
     
     
      one
      interaction
      at
      larger
      universi-
     
     
      ties.
      But
      if
      the
      administration
      has
     
     
      their
      way
      by
      forcing
      professors
      to
     
     
      take
      on
      an
      extra
      work
      load,
      then
     
     
      this
      unique
      experience
      will
      be
      lost.
     
     
      I
      urge
      you
      all
      to
      support
      the
      faculty
     
     
      association
      and
      perhaps
      even
      sit
      in
     
     
      on
      some
      of
      their
      meetings
      and
     
     
      voice
      your
      concerns.
      As
      well,
      hold
     
     
      off
      on
      paying
      tuition,
      like
      many
      of
     
     
      you
      are
      already
      doing.
      They
      want
     
     
      our
      money?
      Let's
      make
      them
      work
     
     
      for
      it
      by
      giving
      the
      faculty
      what
     
     
      they
      want.
