Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I was talking about the meeting I was in with the Executive Vice President and the Interrim Dean last Friday, where some very interesting plans for the campus were just mentioned in passing.

First of all, this concerns the fact that the college faculty room is already crowded, with all of the cubicles for full time faculty members already being occupied, such that four cubicles, formerly assigned to the discipline officer, the secretary of the office of student affairs, and a former teacher in biology and chemistry who is now an assistant principal in the integrated school, had to be liberated and reallocated.

The first two are now stationed in the student lounge directly upstairs from the faculty room, while of course the D.O. still does his rounds for most of the day. I don't know what happens now to his confidential incident reports, if they are locked up in one of the file cabinets moved there or what.

We rarely see them around as is, except when the secretary has to use the computers for printing some documents or announcements.

Anyway, the EVP said that if there are any new hired full time faculty members for next term, the part time area will not be bothered with anymore, but there is a plan to move out all the faculty teaching engineering courses to be nearer to their (our) laboratories on the other wing of the same floor.

This makes them (us) nearer to the action of the student researches.

If that's not enough (given that it only frees up around a fourth of the cubicles, then the computer science teachers will be the next to go, probably along with the computers here.

If anything, that will certain stir up (or split up) the ongoing inter-disciplinary dynamics inside the faculty room, and has to be artificially set up outside during meal breaks, or when someone gets enough free time to visit the others.

Session 1173 will vacate the cubicle. Class dismissed.
