The AAUP Lounge

Feel free to sign in, and leave a comment or question. 

Here's how to do it: To sign in, click on "other account" (it's on the right side of the forum window below--directly below Dave's email). Once you click on that, a window will open. Click on "Google" and sign in with your Rider login info; if you're already logged in, you may just need to click on "Sign in as ... ".  A pop up window may show up, if so just click "Allow." After that, you can comment & reply in the Questions & Comments forum, or start your own. Enjoy! 

Just a few notes: We've set this up as a way for people to discuss and comment on what is going on at Rider. It's our hope that people do not attack others personally, fail to properly identify themselves (i.e., no making up fake accounts), or just be mean. Oh, and keep the potty language to your own office. We're classy folks here. Our fearless moderator is a scholar and proponent of free speech, but he's also the Wyatt Earp of prompting healthy and substantive discussions.

If you have any issues, feel free to contact Dave Dewberry ([email protected]).
