They should have known two months ago whether it was a go or not. This is a big financial commitment for those who participate - check out what it costs. What happened to last year's participants? Did they not return? Returnees usually make up a sizable percentage - enough to make the event a go.

It has to happen on campus first.

For something to change they have to be open and honest about failure and weakness and they never are. the board doesn't seem to notice or hold them accountable and neither does the chancellor. The staff under them wants to keep their jobs so they aren't honest either. Everyone pretends with these desperate smiles on their faces. There's good people here but no one wants to be the one to say the emperor has no clothes. Look what happened to Darryl when he spoke up. I have zero trust in the Foundation and in the college president. What sad foolishness this is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
