Failure to Communicate
For those of us who are enrolled for the next semester it’s not so easy as it is for others to pronounce New College dead and go our merry way. Last semester was hell as the tension and uncertainty was palpable. With classes delayed, board members resigning, a new president announced and student work/study checks unpaid, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get any easier. However, the fact that we registered and committed our financial aid to continuing with New College this semester speaks volumes as to our commitment to the institution. What would help most right now is for the new president to communicate with students and faculty whether classes will continue as normal or if New College will be forced to go into “teach out” mode so that we can complete our degrees before they close the doors. The rest is just more noise and posturing to me.
