President Hogan has proven a complete disaster–but if he goes, the Board of Trustees (whose own behavior is ethically suspect) will simply find a Hogan clone. The whole structure of administration has become stacked against the faculty–we need a strong union, with a well-thought-out program, in order to protect not only faculty rights, but the university itself.
