This is only true for faculty members who don't have all of their faculties. Most faculty members I know have not lost the faculty of speech, so they must be missing the faculty of hearing, or at least have so diminished a faculty of hearing that they have no regard for language.

Learned friends, I keep hearing the word "faculty" used to refer to individual members of a faculty thus, 
"Ritchie, you wise and learned faculty, you, what are your thoughts?"  Is there possibly a feminist wrinkle 
here?  Have I blinked and so missed an argument about taking "member" out?  Or is the case just like 
"media" being used as a single noun, an error that seems to be winning?
