I had to reread the massmail several times to make sure I was getting it right-- especially the parts regarding the bargaining since April (despite their FIRST counter-proposal only mere days before the contracts ended in August) and tuition waivers as an 11th hour proposal. Wow, seriously? With such blatant disregard for accurate information, I can only hope that Provost Easter had it horribly wrong and did not know the truth. Sadly, however, I don't think that is the case. I agree with Andy.

I didn't really know much about the details of all that's been going on, but that massmail for the Chancellor's "announcement" was just blatantly spewing propaganda. What a joke. I'm sad to see the university resort to such despicable measures - that they would even have the nerve to send such things into our email inboxes. Press on GEO!
