Faculty Senate Index. 154.https://digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/faculty-senate-index/154Faculty Club 9­3­2009   Submitted by David Seaman 9/3/2009 Question:  The reply from the President does not satisfy me. When I inquired several years ago, I had a personal visit from the Senate chair, who admonished me, "don't make waves," because the President had a plan. I did not make waves, and now it turns out there is no plan, and no faculty club. Is this just a pipe dream? Rationale:  Faculty concerns seem a low priority. Don't we need a place to gather and bend an elbow and complain about our November take­back? Response:  9/28/2009: President Grube has responded to David Seaman's rfi of September 3, 2009: This RFI has been previously answered. However, as a courtesy, I will repeat: There certainly was discussion of the possibility, but there was never a plan. A plan is a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something. Such a detailed proposal never existed. The former Alumni House is occupied by the University Honors Program because the program is a high priority for Academic Affairs and for the University. If, as stated in the RFI rationale, "a place to gather and bend an elbow," is a higher, and more satisfying, priority than providing a facility for the growing University Honors Program that serves our best students, then I respectfully submit that our priorities require reexamination. Faculty Club plan follow­up RFI from David Seaman on 9/3, but no request for information accompanied it, so it was not submitted.
