Pros
Good colleagues in staff and faculty, wonderful students
Cons
State and University have lost focus on education; equity issues go unresolved though much lip service is paid; wages and benefits are not keeping up with inflation and cost of living (especially for those with student loans); no union or strong advocacy group; focus on football sucks money from academics and all other sports; student population growth without support for academics or regard for the Boone community has been detrimental to the academic mission, environment, and people in the community; focus on seats and beds rather than infrastructure to help students succeed; little regard for faulty governance; Chancellor focuses on growth that builds her career rather than sustainability and responsibility to students and the community; terrible university system leadership; institution does not follow health protocols for Covid adopted by other institutions to protect students, staff, faculty, and community
