No Quarter...our Phase II motto, brilliantly written by Present Professor (see below). This ranks up there with "Give me Liberty or Give me Death."

" What many of you are angry about is that you didn't get the emotional catharsis of seeing Shelby fall. It was wrong to expect it. But very human to wish it -- we all did. We will see it yet. Frank and Gary were fighting for their survival -- is there anyone who believes that Shelby LIKES this settlement? THEY WERE REINSTATED. They get paid through the end of Shelby's reign. Gary gets to continue his research. It is true they don't get offices: hell, Anderson did them a favor because they are out of it -- away from the long reach of the gnome, whom we know can reach down through Deans and Chairs to make the life of individual faculty a nightmare. These guys went through the fire and remember -- the decision was ultimately up to the IHL. WOULD ANY OF YOU trust the IHL to do the right thing even if logic demanded it? I wouldn't. I bet Anderson knew it too. They did a great deal for the cause but that isn't what this case was about for THEM, and we should not be disappointed because they wouldn't risk martydom. It is true the Gnome still occupies the GnomeHouse. It is true that Hanbury seems to have turned a temp job as a hack lawyer into a sincecure. It is true that our campus is bugged and faculty is still expected to kiss the feet of the emperor. 

We know these guys are dictatorial little jerks who need each other to convince themselves that they are bigger than they are. The only pwerson in the dome who really is worth something is Shelby: he at least has achieved something. These other folks are hangers on and they need him to exist.

It is now up to us. Glamser and Stringer have done their parts and they deserve our applause, our support and our gratitude because they carried us a long way.

It is up to us to carry it the rest of the way. We have now crossed the line from protest to active resistence. Those of you who are familiar with social change know that there comes a time when there is no turning back.

We crossed that line when 430 faculty members voted "no confidence." They were spurred by the actions undertaken against Glamser and Stringer . . . but Glamser and Stringer are but one aspect of an out of control management that has proved itself to be arbitrary in many of its actions;  capricious in its use of power; injudicious in its public statements; cruel in its treatment of its own employees; and unethical in its application of the technology it controls.

There are more heads on the chopping block.We cannot turn back now. This is but one crisis (and one that we WON) in what will be a series of crisis before this thing is finished. I am living in an occupied Campus. I look forward to the day of liberation, when we can actually say we live in the FREE University of Southern Mississippi.

No Quarter.

NO QUARTER.

If Present Professr's quoted posting began a particular thread, is there a possibility that someone could bump that thread up? I think that these are great words that should at least get a bump up.
