RE: "Don't tell me what I don't want to hear" By Denton Callander President Music Therapy Student Association September 24, 2008 In response to Jeff Galad's letter in the most recent issue of The Lance, I must commend The Lance staff for penning a retort that was accurate and effective in pointing out the obvious holes in Galad's (disturbing) "argument" (read: rant).
Galad's position is somewhat suspicious, especially as he serves as a student leader being President of Club SODA. Real leaders enjoy scrutiny of all sorts, especially from the media, as it give them a chance to defend their platforms and prove to those they serve that they are in fact doing their job. >> | A response to Wildeman's letter of September 15 By James Winter
Professor of Communication Studies September 24, 2008 Dr. Alan Wildeman,
President, University of Windsor
Dear Dr. Wildeman:
As a senior member of the faculty, I feel compelled to respond to your letter of September 15th. I will declare at the outset that although I am on strike, I am not a part of WUFA's executive or leadership, and nor am I a member of WUFA's negotiating team.
To begin with, no fewer than 16 times in your letter, you refer to your own views and those of a very small group of administrators, as the position of "the University" in the current dispute. You write, "The University has sought..." and "the University is committed..." et cetera. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Strike update: a rebuttal By Chad Beharriell History and Distance Education Instructor September 24, 2008 James Winter is both an accomplished academic and passionate writer, as evidenced in his August 25th letter to the Windsor Star, 'Lowest Bidders Wanted'. Yet as a sessional instructor at the University of Windsor, I feel he misrepresents both my work and personal approach to teaching when he describes me as a "Maquiladora"-type Mexican worker to the public. As an instructor in the History and Distance Education departments, I feel fortunate to come from a Northern Ontario village to share my approach to Canadian history with students. I would never compare such fortunate circumstances - receptive students, supportive faculty and administrationand a vibrant city - to the lot of factory workers in the developing world. >> |
