No courtesy mail forwarding for us! And a recent inquiry from a former student suggests that there may not even be automatic notices stating that the person emailed no longer works at the college. That alum, who also happens to be an uppity academic, was forced to resort to old fashioned snail mail.
I can obviously test that notion, just to be sure and will.
But if you have been trying to find us, you may have been emailing a ghost. A ghost of a college and a non-existent professor.
I’m a civilian now. Again. In case you didn't know.
The correct emails for the both of us are appended below.
Mind you, they were probably wise to fire us. We would never have allowed them to become purely online, had we had any faculty power left. The power grab happened in small pieces over the preceding few years. It was a work of art in terms of coups d'état – the CIA itself could not have snuck up any better, as far as many of our shocked colleagues were concerned.
More cynical, neither Aimee nor I were shocked. Aimee, in fact, had been predicting it for several years. I'd been making plans to pursue other ways of making a living and other interests.
It will be interesting to see what the NECHE visiting team makes of all this in the coming months, as the time for the ten year accreditation review draws near. Word of the coup has of course, gotten out. Do the Board and the administration not understand that academics know other academics and frequently talk to one another?
If you want to talk to us, student or visitor, here we are:
