Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday’s presentation on university finances and institutional values at WMU by Dr. Howard Bunsis, Professor of Accounting at Eastern Michigan University and chair of the national AAUP Collective Bargaining Caucus. We had a great turnout, and as always, Howard really delivered. His presentation did much to illuminate what the university’s funding decisions suggest about its values and priorities.

If you were not able to attend, we hope you’ll have a chance to talk with colleagues who were there and especially to explore the materials in his slide presentation, which are being made available to all faculty (see below).

Your WMU-AAUP leadership is looking forward to continuing discussions with all of you about institutional values and priorities.
