Letter to the Editor: FSU Administrators Have Failed – Again

The views expressed in Letters to the Editor are not necessarily a reflection of the views of the staff of The Bottom Line. 

Just like the title says, the administration at FSU has failed again. I could have said the same thing when FSU decided to use the limp defense of “private personnel matters” to justify the hiring of an individual associated with abusive boy’s rehabilitative camps. The University issued the same stale response when an FSU faculty member issued tweets promoting, or at least condoning, violence against protesters earlier this year.

When I say that the FSU administrators have failed the community again, you might also think I’m referring to the initial and continued failures regarding preventative measures against COVID-19 on campus, with shenanigans like delayed test results or non-compliance with preventative measures by staff (with little to no consequences). These failures endangered not only the campus community, but all of Frostburg.

This time though, FSU’s administration has failed in a larger way. It is no surprise that there are budget shortfalls at the University this year. An option suggested by the AFSCME, drawing from the University’s twenty-million-dollar reserve balance to cover the budget shortfall, was ruled out by VP Wyden with one of his explanations being that the University System of Maryland would need to approve the withdrawal.

How difficult is it to pen a letter to the USM? Apparently, it is difficult enough to implement salary cuts and lay off AFSCME members in an ostensible act of retaliation. After the salary cuts, much of the administration will continue making 6-figure salaries, while twelve employees (9 of which made less than $50,000 per year) will be laid off.

I would hope President Nowaczyk would reevaluate his affirmation that “FSU has the obligation to seek to do what is best for all of its employees,” when his and his administration’s actions clearly run counter to this statement.

    Thanks for sharing your ideas. The first thing is that students have a choice between fed student loan and also a private student loan where its easier to opt for student loan debt consolidation than over the federal student loan.

    In these days of austerity along with relative anxiousness about taking on debt, lots of people balk resistant to the idea of making use of a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or pay for a trip, preferring, instead only to rely on the tried as well as trusted technique of making transaction – raw cash. However, if you possess cash there to make the purchase fully, then, paradoxically, this is the best time just to be able to use the cards for several good reasons.

    The very heart of your writing while sounding reasonable initially, did not work properly with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a very short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one might do well to fill in those gaps. When you actually can accomplish that, I will undoubtedly end up being fascinated.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog
    and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    האישה נסעה עם החברות לחופשת קניות בלונדון ומי יודע מה היא עושה שם. בינתיים אתה לבד בבית ומת משעמום. האישה דאגה לעצמה ויצאה לבלות עם החברות, אולי הגיע הזמן שגם אתה תדאג לעצמך ותפנק את עצמך. אם יש לך קצת זמן בערב או בסוף השבוע ואתה לבד, צא לבילוי עם נערות ליווי. אתה יכול להזמין הביתה נערה, או אם יותר נוח לך לצאת לאחת הדירות הדיסקרטיות ולבלות איתה שם. הנערה תאפשר לך לנקות את הראש מכל המחשבות ולהיות מרוכז אך ורק בהווה, ברגעי העונג בהם אתה מקבל עיסוי מפנק ומשחרר, באווירה נעימה וללא שום צורך בקשר מחייב.

    One other issue issue is that video games are generally serious as the name indicated with the primary focus on finding out rather than leisure. Although, there’s an entertainment factor to keep your young ones engaged, each one game is generally designed to focus on a specific set of skills or course, such as mathmatical or research. Thanks for your article.
