peaceful

Faculty retreat came and went without a whimper. I announced the that there would be no meetings of the full faculty this fall and no one said anything. At lunch one of our able staffers suggested that "people think you have given up and are going to let them do whatever they want." Oh, that's why there were no questions. There was just a inward sigh of relief. Well, I guess everyone will be surprised when we do something racy like scheduling classes in a way that makes sense in a big picture sort of a way, not a "but I never come in on Mondays and Fridays" sort of a way.

For the time being it all seems very peaceful.
