I'm just speaking from my experience. I was full time in the TMO for 25 years, the last several of them on campus. We were afraid to leave. We didn't know how we would support ourselves. I think many on campus are in this boat. We felt liberated after we left. Maybe others would. Maybe some wouldn't. That's all I was saying. I'd rather see MUM flourish than fail, but I don't think that's going to happen unless some fundamental changes occur. ------------------------ Yahoo!
