If there is a labor disruption, it's due to your complete disregard of faculty concerns and failure to value and prioritize your workforce.

NOT faculty "choice."

This email is an embarassing and gross abuse of power. You should apologize to students. 2/2

Hey @AcadiaU what time will you be granting the AUFA the same campus wide communication platform?

This correspondence is biased, disrespectful, and shows contempt towards students ability to understand that faculty teaching conditions are students learning conditions. 1/2
