We do not mean to suggest that we plan to offend people just for the sake of controversy, but we need to offer fair, strong, and accurate articles. We would not be doing our job if we failed to cover those issues that most concern and affect the students. We feel that it is time now for more open and direct reporting. Some of the most recent changes that have been proposed by the Rector and supported by the Trustees have stirred a lot of discussion. We want to be honest about the student reaction to them.
Students deserve to know what is really going on and why.
The changes concern many people and that is a fact. Perhaps the concern comes from our inability to fully understand why they are necessary. Nonetheless, when students hear news of another trip for the Rector or about another respected faculty member leaving, we are naturally frustrated. We at The Pelican are making a promise to our readers to be honest and thorough in our reports. We will try to stick to only the most interesting topics and hope that we keep everyone entertained and informed.
