A meme showing nine construction workers standing around watching one worker dig a hole. The idle people are labeled "Gordon Gee", "Board of Directors", and "RPK Contractors". The one working worker is labeled "WVU Faculty". Bottom text reads "Due to cutbacks, we'll be eliminating our faculty positions."

Remember, faculty and staff make WVU run. Therefore, faculty and staff should run WVU.
