What UF President-Elect Jeffrey Michels Wrote in September ...

...and why I am worried about where his leadership will take us:


"We don't need our union to "fight the district" with "aggressiveness."
We need to work with the District to acheive common goals
and to get beyond the adversarialism that has marked the
faculty-district relationship in recent years.
There's no reason why we should be at odds with the District.
The Old Guard on the Board is on its way out.
Helen Benjamin is a reasonable, smart woman with good intentions.
Let's put this combattive attitude behind us and see if we
can work with the administration to make CCCCD a place where people
feel good about their jobs."
