The AAUP Faculty are pulling the wool over the eyes of the students of WSU
This strike is mostly about keeping their current benefits and pay scale and much less about fair treatment.Two simple yes or no questions need to be asked by students to the AAUP directly, without hyperbole in their response:
1.) To aid the university in resolving financial concerns, is the AAUP willing to accept a three year pay freeze like the staff have done for the past three years and continuing?
2.) Is the AAUP willing to accept the same medical plans as the staff of Wright State in place of their currently offered options?
These items alone would make major headway in helping WSU to resolve the financial situation and help ease problems for everyone.
The staff of WSU have not asked for more as the AAUP have done over the years. We were asked to accept less and we have done so. The AAUP refuses to accept the current financial situation and acept less than they are used to. A simple matter of greed. If this is incorrect, then I refer back to the two simple questions above.
If you look at the actions of the staff of WSU versus the AAUP Faculty, it is very apparent who really has the true concern for the well being of WSU and the students.
