I am also interested in regular informational updates as too just what issues/items are being addressed/researched by the B.O.C. If the B.O.C. and the President’s Staff publically let the campus know specifically which items are a part of the banquet buffet being offered up for the College to swallow, I (and perhaps others) would be more inclined to participate in dialogue and suggestions. As it stands now, “everything on the table” is too broad to peak my appetite for fear I’ll only find vegetarian options and no meat.

Lastly, while great effort has been made to increase awareness regarding the impact of the economy upon Middlebury College, I am left with the feeling that the suggestions and possible solutions are falling into a black hole. By making the continued discussions transparent, I believe the community will be more understanding and ultimately supportive of the final decisions.
