Final offer

But the Faculty Association's spokesman Prof. James Kelly notes that it fails to address three important issues, so a strike may be inevitable. You can read
the article in today's DE.

Immodest proposal

As reported in a related article in the DE, when asked if assignments issued by replacement faculty would be counted, Prof. Mary Lamb said that it would be a conscience judgment made by individual teachers. "If the substitute gave an assignment that I don't agree with and that the students did badly on, I wouldn't penalize them for poor teaching," Lamb said.

In that case, Prof. Lamb won't mind if I "substitute taught" her Shakespeare classes. If the strike were to last long enough, I could chair my own Ph.D. dissertation on Shakespeare.
