Money woes, infighting plague UW nursing school

The University of Washington's School of Nursing — ranked a top nursing school for decades — not only is losing its dean, it has lost a sense of shared purpose among its faculty and staff, according to a sharply critical consultant's report. The report shows what can happen when devastating budget cuts hit a formerly-flush academic institution unprepared to make tough choices.

The University of Washington's top-ranked School of Nursing is losing its dean and — according to a sharply critical consultant's report — is beset by low morale, internal strife and a lack of shared purpose among its faculty and staff members.

Hit with budget cuts, the school is suffering from a lack of trust between faculty and Dean Marla Salmon, according to the report, commissioned by Salmon in collaboration with top UW administrators.

The consultants, who presented their report to the school earlier this month, said that instead of a shared vision for the future, they found what they termed "tribal behavior," with separate departments and specialty areas pitted against one another and the school as a whole.

Last month, Salmon tendered her resignation, effective a year from now.

The situation couldn't come at a worse time for the school, which is not only braced for another round of cuts in state funding but is under pressure by lawmakers and hospitals to help relieve an acute shortage of both nurses and the teachers to train them.

The college rules are not fair. Universities are bringing in massive amounts of revenue thanks to the talent of football and basketball players. The fans will pay to go see them, they will buy the players’ jerseys or school apparel, they will pay to park and pay to eat in the school cafeteria.

All the while, the players don’t see a penny of that money.

I am a college kid. My parents pay a lot of money for me to put my school’s name on my resume, hoping it will mean something to my future boss. They pay a lot for me to eat sub-par food (my school eating facilities committed many health violations including having rat feces beside the storage of food and a grasshopper in a student’s sandwiches, the list goes on) and live in a 17×20 foot room with two other kids.

Every college student worries about money. My school’s campus is located in an area known as Little Italy so once or twice a month my friends and I go to a cheap restaurant to get a break from the cafeteria. We ask for the bread provided to the table to be wrapped up because our cafeteria only provides bread sticks.

To be honest, if people were willing to pay a lot of money for my stuff, I’d do it in a heartbeat. We’re immature college kids, I’d love money to take that girl on a date or buy that expensive bottle of vodka I had last week (I don’t condone underage drinking, but it happens pretty often in college believe it or not).

Just look at the ESPN documentary Fab Five. The school provided nothing to them, but reaped the benefits. And then Chris Webber gets in trouble for trying to get money. I’d love to be given a car. Asking any college kid to turn that down is stupid. The people providing these things to college kids should be punished not the student.

I sympathize with these kids who are criticised for breaking the rules that don’t favor them (rules are rules but come on).

The actions of the North Carolina football players are asinine. The recent report that 12 players accumulated $13,000 in parking tickets is jaw-dropping. My college does not have a good football team.

Most of them are still cocky and mostly just hang out amongst themselves, and you could tell most are not the smartest kids you’ll ever meet. But it is up to the coach to keep these kids on the right track. Parking tickets are easy to avoid, just park in the right spots.
