</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank you for writing this letter and thank you for holding this senate meeting. I look forward to a valuable discussion, but I thought that it might be worthwhile to offer some detailed feedback in advance of
that meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Para1: I don't think it's appropriate to accept the usage of the (apparently) highly loaded term, "structural deficits". Perhaps instead we could use the more neutral phrasing, "UO leadership has shared with us
the budget deficits..."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Para2: Should it be, "We constituents of the Senate..."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div id="Signature">
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Para3: I would argue that the lack of transparency is real. It undercuts our argument to call it "perceived".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Para4: I don't think that this order reflects the prioritization of my concerns. Perhaps others feel differently, however. Nevertheless, and for example, the timeline, while certainly rushed, is not the primary
problem. The problem is the attack on tenure and the elimination of programs, which will undoubtedly lead to negative impacts on the students of our University. In similar fashion, the arbitrary and capricious performance criteria are a part of the attack
on tenure, rather than their own independent offense. I would suggest instead ordering these sections as:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">
Attack on tenure (which is facilited and exacerbated by a rushed timeline and arbitrary and capricious criteria). My understanding is that this is the most legally dubious aspect of the plan and the one most likely to cost the university a large fortune in
lost lawsuits.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
</div>
<div>
<ol start="2" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">
Destruction of academic programs (which is facilited and exacerbated by a rushed timeline and arbitrary and capricious criteria). My understanding is that there is greater legal standing for this action, but it is still almost certainly a violation of both
the CBA and tenure protections as currently proposed.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
</div>
<div>
<ol start="3" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">
Negative impact on students.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We've heard much less explicitly about the attacks on NTTF and other members of our community which will result from this plan, but surely they will be treated in a similarly cavalier fashion. Our opposition to
this should likewise be stated explicitly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Final Para: I think that we should make demands rather than simply asking for more time. I think it's important to make clear that there are some aspects of this proposed plan that will never be acceptable, even
if all voices are heard before action is taken. The senate describes itselfs thusly, "The Senate derives its authority from the Statutory Faculty, by virtue of the University of Oregon Constitution, and expresses the faculty's will on academic matters through
legislation and policy proposals." As such, we should act with authority and demand that this destructive plan be halted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
