Soul sucking in Student Affairs

Pros

Lots of unhappy coworkers with whom to commiserate

Cons

Where to begin? It’s not just that leadership is incompetent (same people in same positions for decades), but manipulation is a key management strategy, along with intimidation, and bias. New Prez has no business running a University and covers up or ignores festering problems. If you can thrive in an environment in which your moral values are challenged daily, and in which you are bullied, lied to, overworked and underpaid, all while being told it’s the Christian mission, you’ve come to the right place.

Terrible Morale and Getting Worse

Pros

Students are very nice. Campus is pretty.

Cons

Administration hides behind endless committees, task forces, and working groups, all the while having made their decision already anyway. Also, this new President doesn't know how to say "thank you", "good job", or "I'm sorry". Leadership is cold, opaque, manipulative, and unsupportive.

For adjuncts, could be much better

Pros

Well, most of the students appreciate the faculty. Some departments fully support their adjuncts, treat them as much as possible as a part of the faculty- which they are.

Cons

There is NOTHING for adjuct faculty. Even the pay scale is behind other area schools. A guy I know worked there almost 20 years, 3 to 4 classes a semester. He died suddenly. His family received NOTHING, not even a copied note from the president. Then there was the cancellation of Winter Commencement over a few cases of measles. Graduates were rightfully irate, as were parents.
