I talked to Mike Bell, DeLona's husband, this morning. I have every intent to call Marshall Keymer tomorrow [UPDATE: didn't happen]. I still need to get in touch with Gordon Lacey and possibly Paul Rhynard.
What blows my mind is that I don't hear anyone talking about streamlining administration, making the machine more efficient as the primary means of cutting costs, therefore easing enrollment tensions all around -- I mean, what is the ETA of the comet?
UPDATE: Well, pie in the face now -- as mentioned in the updated timeline, I have received copies of extended dialog about both the state of things as well as efforts to avoid personnel cuts.

I've known a couple members of the board of trustees for a number of years. I'll see what I can do about getting in contact with them...

There was a vice-president removed this current fiscal year. They are still with the university but their job has changed dramatically. And the position has been eliminated.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, indeed. The position ran from 1999- 2008. Mildly off topic, but If anyone is interested, here is an article regarding the creation of the position: http://www.wallawalla.edu/westwind/archives/summer01/summer01other/wg.html
ReplyDeleteI believe you are referring to the VP of Spiritual Life & Mission, mentioned in the "Rebuilding the Heart of the School" section.
