Abstract

Professor Brian A. Connery’s Strike Blog brings to the fore issues about the role of the blogosphere in academia. Which, if any, blogs are appropriate for a university publication that seeks to benefit Oakland University and its various constituencies? The Editorial Board, after careful deliberation, ultimately agreed with Professor Connery’s assessment, that its publication does not seek to “reopen old wounds,” but rather, may begin a more unconstrained and open conversation about the “informational asymmetries” that can arise “between a university and its faculty” (Siow 1998).
