Bama_Alumna is right.
The whole key to this thing is that it is a Faculty Senate thing. At most schools, the Faculty Senate seems to be made up of the most disgruntled, radical, academic elitists on any campus, and ideally they just want to get rid of Greeks because they don't fit into their 60s era view of the world. However at public institutions, most faculty senates have really limited power and can only make recommendations to the Board of Trustees or Governors or whomever. At many private institutions though, this is not the case and the faculty senate may have real power to enforce such decisions. My main point is, to read deeper into terms like "Privatization" and see the potentially deeper intended meanings and motivations behind them. "Privatization" won't happen at Bama, and probably can't happen at 99% of public schools, but don't allow the use of fuzzy terminology to influence your thinking into supporting something that may sound more innocent than it really is.
In the long run this will just be another thing for the Bama Faculty Senate to bicker over for another 20 years.
