The inexperience o...CQI Consent and Quit Inquiring<br /><br />The inexperience of administrators ruling over areas they know nothing about is forgivable if they truly administrate rather than “rule.” Service is a core value at Edison, but to many administrators at Edison it is service to their own power. When “TRUTH” is pored through a funnel of a hand full of self-serving administrators, justice is stomped on. Worse yet service to our students, academic integrity, creativity and civility to fellow human beings are also trampled. <br /><br />How can a former instructor who only taught anatomy and physiology (without, by all academic standards, qualifications) be making decisions about people in jobs that person has never done. Worse yet, these decisions are made without consulting the person doing the given job. I am sure we all have been in jobs in which your supervisor did not know the details of your job, but trusted you to do it and do it well. This has not been the case at Edison the past three years. <br /><br />This insane administrative practice has cost Edison numerous creative and energetic faculty and good administrators. Many of these lost precious resources have left with the administration attempting to portray them as non-team members. <br /><br />There is no open debate on academic maters or any subject for that matter at Edison. If you attempt to have an open and civil debate you are branded as one who is violating Edison’s so called core values. What an irony that such lofty ideals are used to impose such a repressive style of administration. <br /> <br />At Edison, the members of the Board of Trustees are the arbiters of how well the college is functioning.
