RE: Alumni Association.
THE ROAD TO MEDIOCRITY
(No, I don't mean Bronco Athletics)
Since the last posting, there have been over 500 viewers to this thread.
The last posting was also sent to President Dunn. Although I didn't receive a response, which I did not expect anyway, the concern continues.
Perhaps the commentary has been taken into "advisement", or perhaps it was "screened out" of the collection of e-mails he receives, but never sees, or is not worthy of comment.........
I am reminded, the University is not a place for "risk takers", but a haven and safe place to stay in a "survival mode". Change is not a constant, but a threat to survival.
If you promote change and risk taking, you might fail, and be found out.
OR, you could hang on to what you have, and either move on (get promoted within), leave for a promotion outside--before they come for you, or survive until retirement. But don't take chances.
Perhaps, if President Dunn was inundated with letters of application, and resumes for the position of Director of Alumni Relations, he might take notice and ask, "What's going on?"
I'm sure that many of you reading this would do an excellent job of creating and directing a vibrant, functioning Alumni Association beyond western Michigan for all WMU Alumni, not just a few.
BTW, did you ever wonder why the fund raising function was ever combined with the Alumni Association?
Several of us have come up with a couple of speculations, and they aren't very pretty.
What do you think?
Jack Lint: We've always been close, haven't we?
Sam Lowry: Yes, Jack?
Jack Lint: Well, until this blows over, just stay away from me.
