The WORD Blog Will Soon Be Accepting Nominees for The Clem Kadiddlehopper Kinky Klutzy Kooky Awards

Because it might be confusing who might be eligible candidates, I will be posting informative anecdotal examples in the coming days and weeks to help those who may want to suggest deserving candidates. Here is the first:

Department Chair Jay Roman, after he was elected to his first term a while back, told me on more than one occasion – when there was the appearance of a collegial relationship and no other Colleague was in the immediate vicinity – that D:F/M was in serious trouble. [Note: A higher echelon dean told me around that time that the D:F/M had been sold out.] But …

… the serious problems were never discussed at a department meeting.

And then, of course, serious problems of a felonious academic nature — AKA SPFANs — began to manifest even as they were ignored. In occasional email memoirs to the department, there were times I referred to the PFANs as the 16-ton elephant in the room or the herd of 16-ton elephants in the room – etcetera. And, of course, there the Cassandra warnings AKA A Cassandra.
