I wish academia could get through its brilliant-but-conditioned-toward-polite-neutrality-head that what's happening with cuts and winnowing and targeting is not a misunderstanding; it's a hostile takeover. There will be no 'educating' your administrators into seeing your value. You're not going to open-letter your way into the security to write freely.
The academy as a whole is undergoing an asset conversion which is tantamount to theft of a public inheritance; your ONLY option is to organize.
