The administration is highly unlikely to change the revised dorm policy for a variety of reasons, and we have no power to force them. In my view we as faculty need to stick with faculty issues like faculty personnel, curriculum and academic standards. As the most recent thread shows there is plenty to talk about here. The only power we have outside of these areas is the power of witness and while that can be great it is damaged each time we act in a less than sober manner. Finally I ask as a question and a challange to each of those who has expressed outrage at the administations actions in this case.
Outrage can be satisfying, and it is also cheap.
