(no subject)

 So apparently word got out that the e-capstones mess was largely due to the VP dictating and pushing for the library to do it ASAP.  Namely the guy who runs the college archives is also a faculty member and talked to all the committee members before the committee meeting.  It went really smoothly, I wasn't stoned to death (they were nice to me even), and e-capstones are postponed for a year.  We're forming a task force to come up with proper policy and guidelines (aka we're doing it right this time).  The VP was overruled by the committee.  It was, in fact, one of the smoothest and quickest faculty motions I've ever seen in my career.

I'm pretty damn happy.
