Too much patting themselves on the back, over-reliance on constituents within a 1-2hr radius at the expense of the growing base that’s actually gone further in the world, oversized board that drowns out really conversations.

Or because Casey Peterson begged me to make a donation to “name a locker” to pay for Hanna’s inability to actually fund the renovation 5-6yrs ago shortly after my dad died only to have to taken down within 3yrs. And this was after the new locker room was built. I’ve talked to Jared W about this and it’s on the best day mismanagement, being less kind shitting on an alumnus’ face. One who’d given every year since graduating and in a cohort that included the last 3yrs of the Dick Hersh era who’s in prime earnings phase of life now and gives at a rate that would embarrass any college.

And yet I still care while coach Cragg was left to twist in the wind and should’ve been the new AD if there was any justice in the world. Hanna lasted a decade longer than he should’ve because of his service to the school and then Cragg gets treated like a red headed step child.

While we may not have the endowment that other schools have like Union and Vassar, we have done very well with what we have and the student experience has shown that with improvements to retention in the last few years. Deposits for the Fall 2020 are up from last year which is not the case for many other colleges. This will be a very challenging year for every college , university, business and family and while every LaxPower board participant has every right to exercise your first amendment rights and criticize HWS, I really don't understand why you choose this difficult time and this forum to do so...

Syracuse just cut faculty pay by 10%...Hobart should do likewise. Enough of the limited office hours and sabbaticals. Pres Vincent tried to reel in the entitled faculty and got forced out---now is a perfect time for wage cut..
