I am not sure how the impending budget cuts at Georgia Southern are going to impact the upper level courses for writing. From what I've heard, they are going to offer some on an alternating schedule. I assume that this will require those courses to have a larger size and therefore a less personalized feel. That is quite unfortunate considering how much I like to talk.
On Tuesday I read one of my pieces aloud and we spent half of our class time talking about it and about the genre we were working with. I doubt this kind of atmosphere will ever happen again at this university. Bottom line, it sucks. It will be very difficult for me to function in a class that is not personal, especially writing. I also have no idea how far reaching these cuts are going to be, and what exactly is going to go. I've heard specialized writing majors may go on the chopping block, as well as a chance that the english department and writing might merge. That sounds like even more cuts in the making.
All of that being said, here's some interesting numbers:
WILLIAM A FREEMAN CHAIR OF FREE ENTERPRISE GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY $120,000
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FINANCE GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY $101,978
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FINANCE GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY $101,978
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FINANCE Georgia Southern University $95,000
No athletic personnel were listed.
