I never saw what TrueBU had to say, but from what I can tell you have so far been incredibly responsible with the information you publish. It is very professional in tone and attempts to stick to the facts of what is really happening on campus.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing this!Amanda Lynn Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524942432253860412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420024691172773918.post-88867346686541762392009-03-30T10:25:00.000-04:002009-03-30T10:25:00.000-04:00Unfortunately, I think our administration does not...Unfortunately, I think our administration does not realize how important transparent, two-way communication actually is. In this day and age, where the internet is creating a groundswell for the everyman, having an open-door policy on controversial incidents is paramount to the interests of any party in the debate. For our administrators who most likely remember a time when "no comment" was an acceptable response, this change is hard to swallow. However, regardless of the part they play in all of this, they have failed to recognize the line in the sand they are drawing. For me (and I assume many in my generation feel similarly), the administration's closed-door policy causes me to question their credibility on this and other issues. Willingness to be forthcoming, even when the information might be embarrassing, will create a relationship of mutual respect and trust in the long run. Quashing the voice of the dissenters (or The Dissenters) in no longer an applicable tactic for public relations. Butler would be wise to, as Prof. Watts pointed out in the previous Butler Underground post, let "all winds of doctrine [were let] loose to play on the earth" (-Milton). Rather than hiding from it's students, Butler should use the facts in this case to validate their process. If they cannot do so, it is indeed embarrassing, but essential to creating good student relations given modern technologies and the tendency of young persons to scrutinize their authority.Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472630611080234088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420024691172773918.post-23835786353429962032009-03-30T07:20:00.000-04:002009-03-30T07:20:00.000-04:00Thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation.

I'm interested in hearing the administration's side of the story, although I feel that, due to ongoing legal action, they will not say much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
