[Alumni-chat] Facilities Committee

[Laura Fathauer]

Sistersara, I was primarily addressing your critique
on  what you had indicated in the original message I
was replying to, i.e. your understanding of what has
happened within the village limits of Yellow Springs
since 1992. I would be foolish to argue that an
analysis of events prior to that date from afar could
in any way replace your direct experience of that
history.... however I would then have to point out
that past that date then wouldn't the converse also
hold?

One of the things that jumped out at me from some of
the pre '92 history was that Adcil at the College
decided on the budget, including target enrollment
levels, then handed over to Comcil the responsibility
for getting enrollment to that level. (Keep in mind
this was prior to the establishment of an official
office like 'admissions' and 'recruitment'). So in
that era they HAD to collaborate. The committees were
jointly responsible for the health and operations of
the College. 

Now Adcil is 'advisory' to the president, and only a
throwaway line in the Chancellor's addresses to the
campus..
