[CAUT] Preaching to the choir; was University of Idaho Piano Tech Vacancy

[Bdshull at aol.com]

Wim,
 
Just to be clear (I made the point in my post a moment ago).....The  
universities aren't getting the message.  They don't get it because the PTG  isn't 
willing to spend any money on this.
 
The PTG isn't interested in spending money to educate university  
administration.  CAUTs should be willing to augment their dues in order to  support 
the concerns Jeff has raised, and only AFTER a CAUT Endorsement is  passed 
showing we actually care about having RPTs properly trained for basic  
university piano service.
 
Regards,

Bill

Yes, it is a PTG problem, and we have taken a stance. But the  low pay, 
high expectations, low requirements, etc., is't going to  change overnight. 
CAUT has established criteria, guidelines, work  load, pay recommendations, 
etc., and sent them to department chairs.  But we have no control over what 
they do with the information. 
 
Jeff, it seems that every time a new university job comes up  that isn't 
offering the salary package that's adequate, you get on  this list and repeat 
the same message. When I said you're preaching to the  choir, I meant to say 
that we've all heard the arguments. We agree with you,  but please, tell us 
something we don't know. Otherwise, give it a rest. 
 
Wim

While I agree with everything you're saying, your preaching to the  choir. 
These comments need to be shared with the university, not us.
