CMU Faculty Association welcomes back George Ross

 
email

On behalf of the more than 630 members of the Central Michigan University Faculty Association, I want to welcome President George Ross back to campus.

We all recognize the economic and political challenges facing our campus, state and nation.

We hope that President Ross can provide the stable leadership the campus needs in order to chart the immediate and long term future for CMU.

Over its 40-year history representing a diverse faculty of scholars, teachers, artists, coaches, librarians, and counselors, the
Faculty Association has built a foundation of mutual respect and collaboration with the administration.

We are committed to continuing this culture of cooperation so as to ensure a bright future for the students, faculty, and staff at CMU.

We are hopeful that we can build a strong relationship with President Ross and his administration to assist in designing constructive ways to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

So along with the entire campus, the CMU Faculty Association wishes to welcome back President Ross and his family upon their return to the Mount Pleasant community.

Timothy Brannan, President
CMU Faculty Association

    Welcome back George. Now…as a sign of good faith, please give back the huge salary increase the board gave you over outgoing President Rao. Your salary is equal to that of Obama. Do you think that is right and fair to pay you so much in an economy that is in shambles (thanks Mulhern-Granhom) and for such a small university in the state?

    This article sounds like an empty and robotic formality, like the ones heard before the presidential debates. Just another professionally scripted letter. I don’t know how well the rest of the campus is accepting Ross, but all these words are useless and insignificant until he proves his worth. It will be his actions over the next few years that will “ensure a bright future,” not his past or his hype (not to mention his salary).
