The Power of the Pocketbook
Looks like the U of D has backed down with their Orwellian experiment in student housing:
Upon the recommendation of Vice President for Student Life Michael Gilbert and Director of Residence Life Kathleen Kerr, I have directed that the program be stopped immediately. No further activities under the current framework will be conducted.
It’s pretty sad when alumni – who often are parents – have to keep an eye on their alma mater to make sure it’s behaving itself.
November 2, 2007 UPDATE:
The local newspaper FINALLY picked the story up today.
University of Delaware President Patrick Harker pulled the plug on the school’s residence life educational program Thursday after the program was blasted publicly by students, parents and a civil liberties group that questioned the purpose of the program and the methods it used.
Nothing like hearing about local issues in the national news first. Nice job, guys.
