Eli DeHope


Department: Undergraduate Social Work

I welcome your support in this nomination to Faculty Senate. I have served on the Senate for the past six years, recently as the Secretary and currently as the Vice President. I am fully committed to the Faculty Senate and would like an opportunity to continue work in progress on this Senate.

For the past eight years I have been committed to actively serving the WCU community; serving on Service Learning and LGBTQ Committees, Women's Studies and Social Equity Advisory Boards as well as a number of task forces that I have been asked in which to participate. I have also served as interim chair of my department. I believe that these experiences would allow me to continue to contribute to Faculty Senate and I seek your support to try to do so.

David Siegel


Department: Graduate Social Work

I have been a senior faculty member of the social work departments for 17 years. In this role I have frequently advocated in behalf of quality affordable and accessible education particularly in the graduate programs. Furthermore, I have taken a lead role in researching social justice issues as Principal Investigator of the West Chester University TANf project, and my writings on improving the neighborhood environments and neighborhood development under welfare reform. In the last year I have three publications related to welfare reform, which have been a crucial part of the welfare reform debate. In my seventeen years, I have assumed almost every role possible except being a member of Faculty Senate with my University colleagues. A vote for me is a vote for greater access to diverse groups, in accord with the function of a great public University. When I ran the TANF project, our staff felt like the United Nations, because of our diversty in nationality, ethnicity and race. Thus, we were able to gain interviews no one else could (or perhaps wanted). We need to upgrade our writing programs and programs for the disabled and continue our excellent programs on cultural diversity. Perhaps, some improved transportation to the city and the suburbs, with a state sponsored University bus line, would enable us to be more responsive to our mission. Vote for me and social justice.
