Since last Tuesday, when Acting Co-op Dean Bob Tillman resigned, the morale in Stearns has been low with office politics on the rise, coordinators said. It s the atmosphere that s been created by the administration, said a coordinator who spoke anonymously. They re making us out to be the bad guys quote unquote. We re just here to help the students, and all these standards and procedures are being forced on us.
Administrators believe the Call to Action needs to begin now.
We believe, as the subcommittee believes, that if we don t change the way co-op operates in the university that we won t operate to our full capacity as a university, Hall said. Coordinators said these changes have not been discussed enough and they could transform the way NU does business how budgets are organized, how coordinators interact and how students can find resources. On Thursday, Porter sent a memo to coordinators that outlined their job description. The News talked to said the letter came across as strict. Another coordinator, who also requested anonymity wants these issues to be discussed openly, had the same sentiments.
