The faculty at St. Thomas fight on in their battle with their employer, for a battle it has been declared.It demands solidarity and determination to walk picket lines in freezing rain and at times, in -18 C. weather.
The faculty are still locked out by the employer. Even if they abandoned the strike that was initiated a week after the lockout, they still could not return to their classrooms, and students would still be unable to resume their second term.
The St. Thomas administration has locked them out.
This is the communication each faculty member received at 4:30 on December 26:
Effective 6:00 p.m. on December 27, 2007, all Full- and Part-time members of FAUST employed by St. Thomas University will be locked-out from employment. No such employees will be permitted on the premises of St. Thomas University without the express written authorization of the University.
Locks were changed on all doors of the university. Faculty are prohibited by law from entering the university.
If I were a St. Thomas student, I would be demanding a tuition refund from the administration that is withholding access to my greatest resource, the professoriate.
