An Inauspicious Start

It’s a full week before classes begin and my schedule has already begun to shrink.

An email at the top of my inbox this morning: The sender is The Executive Dean from Hell.  This can’t be good.  It isn’t.

Among her many gifts she is apparently psychic.  With eight days to go before the first meeting of my Tuesday-Thursday afternoon section she’s pulled the plug.  It was at 85% of our institution’s minimum retention threshold. 

Really?  More than a week to spare, and there was no possibility of getting two or three more students to enroll?  As if students never sign up for classes at the last minute?


At least this time she wrote she was “sorry”…
