A Year Without ACUP
To keep ACUP alive, Griffin had been willing to hold a scaled-down event. But hotels can be sticklers when you’ve signed a contract promising to fill a large number of rooms. Also, some sponsoring vendors had become reluctant to participate in an event with so few attendees.
Sadly, a few in-plant managers from the UK and Australia had already bought their plane tickets. (I bought mine too. Now, thanks to the airline’s jaw-dropping change fee, I have a $20 credit left over.) But no one has anything but praise for Griffin and his co-hosts for all the work they did. Talk of ACUP 2010 is already underway. (One hopes that by then universities will have found other ways to eliminate waste and redundancy instead of arbitrarily cutting travel. Educators banning education—there’s a smart plan.)
