An alert FBvian points us to the news that the University of North Texas is not renewing the contracts of all 38 of its faculty members at the Dallas campus. Says the Chronicle of Higher Education: “They will be given the option to reapply, along with applicants from across the country, to a ‘new’ institution, the University of North Texas at Dallas.” So confusing. Did they start the wine stroll early?

Very poorly handled.
Sure, there could exist cases where some of the 38 might not be retained, but this isn’t the way to do it. It is classless to treat all 38 existing faculty members in this manner. A morale killer.
