For whatever reason the college saw no need to grow it and it has now paid the price. It was probably a vicious cycle of insufficient (or misspent)endowment leading to insufficient facility maintenance and faculty/program cutbacks, leading to dwindling support (if that was ever solicited systematically in the first place). Whether or not ideology or incompetence or both is to blame is secondary.<BR/><BR/>I don't think the Amber Strategy was a wise one necessarily, but the alma mater of Rod Serling, Stephen Jay Gould and half of They Might Be Giants deserved a better fate. Those responsible for its care failed the college, its students and themselves.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-4727743328925164542007-06-15T09:57:00.000-04:002007-06-15T09:57:00.000-04:00It also appears that Kenyon thinks about Antioch m...It also appears that Kenyon thinks about Antioch more than Antioch thinks about Kenyon.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-43287791831991283272007-06-15T08:50:00.000-04:002007-06-15T08:50:00.000-04:00I see that revenge now is a dish that is best serv...I see that revenge now is a dish that is best served online.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.com
