Perhaps this year’s CGCL should be about the Self Study for Accreditation that the College is currently undergoing. Comments welcome!

First, the College deserves credit for a fairly transparent process. Kudos to Roger Bolton for putting (much of) the study material on the web for all to see. Second, the committee asks for feedback. Do they really want it? Have they gotten any? Here is what I sent in.

Is the visiting committee being presented with the full picture of the campus debates surrounding the housing issue rather than *only* the summary written by the Williams administration? Certainly, if I were among the visitors I would want to be more fully informed. I am thinking, in particular, of the document that was sent to all the trustees by a group of students and alumni who opposed the new housing system.

Thanks,

PS. Asking the tough questions just as you did with my senior thesis 20 years ago! :-)

The reference is to this section of the report on the new housing system. Are they going to show the visiting committee this document (pdf)? I have my doubts . . .
