What Happened?

Lots of things IRL have stymied my ability to keep up with this blog.  Now that we're into summer, I want to dwell a bit on the recent vote held by AASUA.  A highly flawed proposal that included minimal COLA increases for the next two years plus faculty participation in an ill-defined "Renaissance Committee" that seems destined to help cause the extinction of the professor as we know it was passed by a 59% to 41% vote.  What is pathetic is that only 29% of eligible voters did so.  If people cannot exert themselves to get involved enough to vote online, I guess we deserve whatever is done to us.
