Dr. Jordan and P4P in the Denver Post
A year ago, when we first learned of the Pay for Performance proposal, many Metro faculty and the members of the MSFF’s Steering Committee feared that any such plan would create a divisiveness among colleagues that was detrimental to our academic mission, the education of our students and the health of the college. Although faculty have struggled against it, some of that dissention arose in the very process of the attempt to define a P4P plan. Today, (November 13, 2007), some of those tensions were made plain for all the world to see on the front page of the Denver Post. The full time faculty are supposed to vote on the P4P plan, commencing on the very day that the college’s president is quoted in the Post as saying, “Read my lips, I've made it very clear that should this thing not happen, I'm going to look at other needs in the college.” We are disappointed at the appearance of a college chief attempting to coerce a vote through the pages of the region's largest circulation daily and it looks like the sense of division that we feared has made its way to the presidential suite.
