Friends,
I was made aware today of one of the big reason why administration is not
willing to spend money easily on maintenance.
It seem that the pianos can't be covered by a sufficient insurance after
their 10 first years.
Then all the money invested in their repair and maintenance can't be
valorize , and if a fire happens or any disease, the school can't get his
fund back.

Do you know how is it working for you ?

Best Regards?

Isaac OLEG

  Richard,

  Well said regarding the Guidelines. Although our primary role is
supporting education we get to educate as well. The Guidelines and any
future documents are tools we can use to educate administrators and faculty.
Of course most administrators will not be interested in reading through the
entire document. Any presentation should include the results of the formula
and reference to key points that are applicable to your situation. The CAUT
Committee realizes that the Guidelines will not work for everyone. However,
we hope that everyone realizes that it can help some technicians. Please
consider endorsing the document if you have not already. A page or two of
endorsements will help to ensure credibility.

My point in the previous paragraph is that at that interview I was prepared
and knew something about how universities operate.  With the Guidelines,
and help through the CAUT list, naive technicians can be educated before
they get stuck with a poor position working for a college that treats them
poorly.  Knowledge and education can help technicians make better choices,
have the confidence to demand and expect more from their university
employers right from the first interview, and even perhaps raise the bar
for college salaries and benefits.  That's what makes all the work that the
CAUT committee has been doing all the more important.  In many ways the
Guidelines are more useful for educating technicians than for making
administrators see the light.

I'd be interested in hearing more "creative funding" sucess stories.
