Thanks - good resources & links. Time for a blogroll & links list in the sidebar, don't you think? Maybe even a NFM newsfeed. All available and easy to install from Layout @ Dashboard
ReplyDeleteHere's an idea: if you read Caryn Musil's essay in the AAC&U pub on women contingent faculty http://www.aacu.org/ocww/volume37_3/director.cfm, she refers to contingent faculty as "red blood cells on reserve." Nice metaphor, I think. We are literally the lifeblood of the university: without us, it cannot survive. So: let's wear red on April 30. What do you think?

Great idea: on all our respective campuses, we might open a vein!
