View the appeal to the Faculty Hearing Committee here. View the appeal to the Lecture Track Faculty Promotion Committee here. View the petition to appeal the Grievance Committee’s response here. Faculty members recently filed appeals claiming that administrators violated Emory’s governing principles in decisions to reassign them to other departments or not renew their contracts. Both documents, obtained by the Wheel, state that the University failed to adhere to policies in the Emory College Statement of Principles Governing Faculty Relationships, also known as the “Gray Book,” and other established governance procedures in implementing these changes, which coincide with the department…

Building On Higher Education
In the coming weeks, many students will begin the process of graduating and entering the workforce. Others will begin graduate school, have internships or summer jobs or perhaps spend a few months in relaxation before they prepare for these things. The Great Recession has taught us to get the best and highest paying jobs possible and many have searched for the best opportunities they can find. The result is that students have asked themselves which route will be best for them. Where will they find the most job security, the best salary and the most prestige. These are important, practical…

Another Banner Season for the Eagles
Over winter break, while the rest of Emory was at home, the swimming and diving team traveled to Sarasota to train for the season. The week of training concluded with a meet, which was held in what until recently had been a hotel pool. Everyone was exhausted from the week of hard training, and it was so cold outside that you could see your breath. The team could easily have decided that the meet was too insignificant and that they were too cold and tired to swim their hardest. “But our team took a different approach,” senior captain Anna Dobben…

This Year’s Best Albums
Mumford & Sons, Babel Mumford & Sons and I go way back. Like, back to before college. I’ve been obsessed with these guys since the release of their debut album Sigh No More a little over three years ago. “I really f—ed it up this time” has never sounded as poetic as it did when sung by Mumford frontman Marcus Mumford in the guys’ smash hit “Little Lion Man.” But with this September’s release of Babel, the little British band that could goes above and beyond and proves they’re more than just a one-hit wonder. I naturally default to praising…

Student Trials ‘Dean for a Day’ Initiative
On Feb. 19, College senior Elizabeth “EB” Pruett became Emory’s first “Dean for a Day.” The event, which was the first of its kind at Emory University, provided Pruett the chance to experience a day in the life of Dean of Campus Life, Ajay Nair. Pruett said she felt that there was a severe lack of transparency between the students and the administration in the wake of Emory’s recent department cuts and, in an attempt to get a better sense of what goes on “behind the scenes,” she approached Nair with the idea for Dean for a Day. Pruett said…
