The tail end of the email discloses a grim conspiracy

“The entirety of all faculty overloads represents only 0.002% [of the total institutional budget],” the FHSU-AAUP email wrote.

Yuri Yerastov, assistant professor of linguistics, expressed a dissenting view at the faculty senate/KBOR meeting.

“I believe that the discourse in the Faculty Senate has been hijacked by a vocal, legalistically-versed tenured elite,” Yerastov said in an email addressed his FHSU colleagues, “The alternative to cutting overloads would be to cut faculty without tenure, a measure which, of course, does not bother the tenured faculty elite.”

Yerastov expressed his support for Martin, appealing to the emotional social justice warrior in all of us.

“Dr. Martin has served as a beacon of diversity and cosmopolitan asia mobile number list values,” Yerastov said, “She has stood with minorities on this campus when she firmly opposed the Governor’s executive order to remove protection from discrimination of LGBT people. Recently there have been regrettable reports of T-shirts with swastika and the slogan ‘Make FHSU great again’ surfacing in Hays. This is disheartening to President Martin and we need to stand with her against bigotry and racism, as she has stood with us in the past.”


“It is no longer a secret on this campus that a certain past administrator is stirring up the present unrest in hopes of grabbing the presidency from President Martin,” Yerastov wrote, “I urge everyone to act to prevent that.”

While The Leader was unable to confirm or deny this coup conspiracy, we believe it is important to take in both sides of this issue and examine the facts in an objective light. For students, it is important to weigh the benefits and consequences of changes to caps and overload limits as it relates to the quality of education. For educators, it is important to examine these issues in terms of attracting quality teachers and giving teachers a situation to perform to their highest ability.
