While the previous speakers have certainly been elegant I do not find myself pursuaded. Some have argued that asking the faculty to express their voice is insulting to the task forces. I was told that the task forces are composed of respected and distinguished members of ISU's faculty. This description bring to mind several attributes that I would expect from such a faculty member. I believe a distinguished member of our faculty is one who would think outside the box, and express their ideas for the purpose of deliberation. While having a conviction for their ideas I would not expect such a faculty member to be obstinate. Rather I would expect them to be open to other ideas and to have the confidence for those ideas to be judged on their own merits without any insinuations of dire consequences nor attempts to dissuade with emotional arguments. Such tactics only admit an inability to find innovative solutions.
I believe the days of an electorate composed of land owners and share croppers are gone. I have the confidence that our constituency is composed of educated, informed , and critical thinking faculty.
I put it to my fellow senators, would it not be arrogant of us to believe that we can represent the voice of the faculty if we not take the time to hear that voice.
