Deb, when I read this letter, I felt the institution had to change to meet
her needs. After all, it does exist to serve the student. After all,
Majorie is right. Even the great flagship research universities couldn't
exist without the students--and sports.
I am always amazed how so many of us are so quick to place the onus on the
student and so often so slow to accept responsibility. Even here at VSU,
I am always amazed at how the overwhelming majority of students are amazed
when they discover that someone, especially a professor, really cares
about and for them. So many of us think we care, so many of us proclaim
that we care, but our care is so often so conditional. So many of us
don't really know or understand whom it is we care about. We fall back on
stereotypes, assumption, presumptions, etc that often bear little reality
to the individual student.
Make it a good day.
