COOK'D


As much as it pains me to admit it, the campus rag is reporting it first: the Faculty Senate has (kind of) voted no-confidence in Bud Peterson in the wake of SurveyGate. Regardless of the questions on quorum and other procedural matters, the senate has little power over what goes on above them; it's like the Student Senate voting no-confidence in the Governor of Wyoming. They sent the message they wanted to - we'll see more at this "general meeting" next week. Faculty members felt betrayed by Peterson for his willingness to enforce Jackson's whacked interpretations of Supreme Court rulings and labor laws, all of which were sparked by someone having the nerve to take a survey about Jackson's tyrannical tactics in running RPI (RPI being that vestigial part of the Board of Trustees used as a marketing gimmick to draw in potential donors). Seeing as the NC vote was predicted here weeks ago, it'd be a shame not to try and go two for two: you don't call a general meeting of the faculty to talk about the Provost. *gestures towards Troy Building*
