Question for babbs & Memorial Wall

Date: May 4, 2005

I've always wondered. Why did y'all only cry 96 tears ???

We don't have a full accounting of staff. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of secretaries, custodial people, physical plant people, etc. that have left. The ones on our list fall in academic administration type positions, such as fundraising, PR, directors of centers, etc. I would like to do a separate staff list, but the thought of that is scary. I can't imagine how many hundreds would be involved over the last 3 years.

I'm glad to be listed, because I did leave -- in part -- because of the ascendency of Dr. Thames. There were other factors as well, including a serious family situation, but that was the tipping point. It would be good to solicit all the staff departures if possible, bearing in mind that most staff are less mobile (more likely to be local residents) and many work for the tuition benefit for their kids.

State employees may find this interesting. Insurance coverage for dependent college age students is only good if the dependent student is attending an accredited university...

I think they were sad because they had too much to dream last night.
