OPINION: 'Mistrust, a centrifugal force, can rip organizations apart, threatening collective and individual well-being,' writes Ted Downing, a UA faculty member for more than 50 years.
Ted Downing Special to the Arizona Daily Star The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:
Tom Meixner trusted that university authorities and their policies would protect his life. They didn’t. Mistrust, a centrifugal force, can rip organizations apart, threatening collective and individual well-being. On campus, university management trusted external, well-paid consultants — McKinsey, former FBI agents, et al., rather than their own faculty, staff and students. An increased use of internal, non-disclosure agreements, lack of risk assessment, intimidation and threats have fed the beast.
How do we mend broken trust? It’s hard, organization-specific and takes time. At the UofA, the president and provost ask for new tools. Their critics demand dismissals, resignations or apologies. Others hope that faculty/administration power-sharing arrangements might build trust. All are likely to fail.
