OASIS Alert # 10
To: RF Project Directors
From: Shirley Strum Kenny, President
Robert McGrath, Provost
Gail Habicht, Vice President for Research
Richard Mann, Vice President for Administration
The end of the third month since the implementation of the
Research Foundation?s new system has passed. Stony Brook has
joined the other major SUNY campuses in informing the Research
Foundation that the inability of the Oracle System to provide the
required management of Sponsored Projects has reached a critical
level.
While many daily activities are proceeding normally, the problems
that remain unsolved at this time have a powerful impact on our
ability to deal responsibly both with our sponsors and with the
State and RF funded employees who conduct our sponsored project
activities. The impact on the local individuals who administer RF
funds is immense and has created a highly strained work
environment.
In a letter to the President of the Research Foundation, we have
requested that the Research Foundation explore every alternative
to restore proper management capability immediately.
Your cooperation and understanding thus far are appreciated and
we will keep you informed about the progress on our request.

"Working Class into the Curriculum"
A special workshop sponsored by Group for the Study of Working
Class Life and CELT.
What are the links between our students' writing and their
consciousness of class difference? How do we use discussion of
work/jobs as a route to class analysis?
Professor Janet Zandy, a nationally respected scholar and
practioner of working-class pedagogy, will present a model essay
that links photography, personal memory, commentary on Workers
Memorial Day (April 28 )and literary analysis about
representations of the physicality of labor. One of the hardest
things student writers face is synthesizing material. This essay
approach demonstrates a way to link the personal with the
historical and with cultural representations.
This workshop will be held at CELT, Melville Library E1337 on
Thursday, April 26th, from 1:00 - 2:30. To register please go to
