Newly Tenured Faculty Honored At Gala Event
Congratulations to the newly tenured faculty! Newly tenured faculty were honored by the college at a beautiful late afternoon dinner party at the home of Pat Murphy. The estate is located on the Virginia Country Club and provided an exquisite site for the college to show it's appreciation of this career achievement. Tenure is granted after a four year process of intense peer evaluation. These faculty represent the future of the institution and will continue to be instrumental in the lives and success of our students.
CTA (state) looks at raising dues
CTA is contemplating a dues increase of $22 per year. The increase is based on a mathematical formula that CTA uses to generate dues for members. We are not sure why the formula doesn't ever seem to trigger a dues reduction. We assume this one-way proposition exist because members retire (or leave the field), districts don't back fill the positions, and the loss is passed on to active members via an increase. Please email our state representative Phyllis Hall with your recommendation for her vote by May 11. To see how CTA is using these funds, please download this (28kb) pdf pie chart
