The message from the Provost thanking the faculty for our "patience, perseverance and dedication over the past week" suggests that these attributes applied to normal university business, even though there was a walkout, picket lines, and cancelled classes. We all know, however, that our "patience, perseverance and dedication" this past week strictly applied to our support of the AAUP Bargaining team and union leadership who worked tirelessly on our behalf. Wouldn't it have been nice to read an opening statement from the Provost that began, "I am thankful that your walkout has ended, because this was a difficult week for all of us."
