Whassup with the Faculty Union?

I got a tip to go to http://www.thesouthern.com/ and vote on the question of whether it was right to reassign Walter Wendler. I voted and it's 50/50 right now.

It was also requested that I "pass this along," so I went to http://www.siucfa.org and was redirected to http://www.ieanea.org/local/siucfa/.

Does this mean the SIUCFA no longer has the wherewithall to support its own domain? Does it mean it has surrendered editorial control of the site to IEA/NEA?

I think it just means that their web site has been hacked and they either don't know it yet, or don't know what to do about it.

I think they simply moved and redirected the site to be under the main umbrella. Not necessarily giving up editorial control.

I agree with Dave. Pretty normal stuff, just redirecting the URL. If there programmers were good you wouldn't know you were working on a different URL at all. We do this kind of stuff all the time.
