Monday April 30, 2018 The Student Voice of California State University, Fullerton Volume 103 Issue 43 Nearly half of CSUF’s academic deans are temporary Searches are currently underway for four permanent appointments.

BRANDON PHO News Editor

With the firing of Clem Guthro as library dean and the appointment of his interim replacement Emily Bonney, nearly half of Cal State Fuller- ton’s academic deans are now temporary. “It is not good for the university to have so much of the senior leadership in interim positions,” said Academic Senator Jon Bruschke. Bruschke said he believes the tradition of college deans as being distinguished faculty members has shifted to a “more cor- porate” model, with personnel only expected to fill positions for a limited set of years. “You’re in a permanent state of having two or three of those positions open, and it makes any long-term planning difficult,” Bruschke said. According to university policy, deans are found by search committees that include per- sons appointed by the president and provost. But President Fram Virjee, as well as Kari Knutson Mill- er, provost and vice president of academic affairs, are both serving in temporary capacities as each of their current positions at CSUF started on Jan. 1.

BRANDON ANGEL Asst. Copy Editor

Dear fellow baristas, I know there is outrage over the recent racial profiling scan- dal at Starbucks in Philadelphia and rightfully so with the way the baristas treated the men involved. I firmly believe there should never be a situation where anyone, regardless of their race, should be kicked out for just spending time in a cafe. Despite our best intentions though, challenging situations often arise because of difficult customers, and the public doesn’t always understand what we go through. While I could write an entire novel about how, “The customer is always right” is total nonsense, I’ll instead keep it short and di- rect: Customers are not always right and they know that. Even though they do have the right to act however they choose to, it doesn’t mean their actions are justified. One commonality I have come across in my 10 years of working with coffee is that customers often take their frustrations out on the baristas. For whatever reason PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY GABE GANDARA customers feel they’re entitled to Though customers can often be rude, the regulars become like family and the ability to make someone’s day better make the job worth it. do so.
