[HAND OF GRIMM]OOC: AFTER THISAlright. Since nobody is stupid enough to buy Cabrera's reasoning, that begs a larger question of the Academy's funding. They gave us a bullshit reason for letting us loose with an equally bullshit "solution" of letting us go, with no plan for how they can fix whatever hole they've dug for themselves.
A few ways we can tackle this:
- Demand an audit of the Academy's funding, from tax records to payrolls to donations
- Demand a release of the previous financial records of Tuttle and the Academy
- Demand transparency with future funding plans with the Academy, so that they don't worm their way into these half-baked excuses again
Another question is how to tackle this: approach the Academy privately but collectively
or make this a public demand and perhaps collect support in the form of signatures? Given the importance of the Academy and the education it provides, I'm leaning in favor of issuing a public statement, though I'm sure the public is already speculating what ties us fired professors together.
There is also the option of publishing an op-ed in one of the local publications or media channels, or perhaps just writing it publicly on the network for instant access.
Picketing and filibustering are also options, but less direct ones to getting answers.
[DANBY ADMINISTRATION]I was let go in the Academy budget cuts. I'm still invested in overseeing Academy relations, perhaps especially now given its previous mismanagement. If this becomes a concern, given that I am no longer employed or directly involved with the school, do let me know.
[MATT]Fun fact: I've never been fired before. It's new to me, I don't like it, and I'm still wrapping my head around this gale-force shitstorm of the past few days, so bear with me.
