Level 1 = Done!

So I just finished up my Level 1 meeting a bit ago. The Admin rep was very civilized. I could tell he completely understood all the issues (if only I had such eloquence!) and as two thinking adults we had a delightful rapport. HOWEVER! Despite the relatively painless nature of the meeting, I am in wait and see mode as far as what happens next. As I said, he represents the Administration side of things, and no matter how much he expressed understanding and support for my side of things at the meeting, the cold hard reality is that he's there to protect his Administrator.  (Hee, snake speak with forked tongue.)

From here, he has 14 days to respond to my requests (repost the entry, create a policy, etc.) or just say "HA!" whereby I bump this up to Level 2 and we go to faculty hearing panel. Of course, Mr. Admin has a history of not getting his portion done within the stated timeline so I know it will be longer than 14 days before anything is done either way. But I'm soooo hoping for resolution. Please, please, please. I don't want to have to go in front of a panel of people and yabber at them.

I will try to remain positive. And focus on the fact that at least I'm doing what little I can in a crappy leadership situation.
