Collegiate Tip-of-the-Month: Adopt a College Cat
Posted by R. J. O’Hara for the Collegiate Way
19 June 2002 (collegiateway.org) — Are your students listless and depressed? Your faculty disaffected? Is enrollment dropping and are alumni contributions falling off? Are your buildings in disrepair and your bureaucracy oppressive? Do you have a parking problem?
If you answered “yes†to any of these questions, you could of course hire a consulting firm to study your situation. You could also apply for a major grant. Perhaps an Institutional Planning Council could be established to draft a new Vision Statement.
Alternatively, you could adopt a college cat.
