The home page of the companion web site has been modified as we enter the stage of pre-voting discussions.
We've also added an open letter on the "other" side, a Wanda Warren Berry Pro-Merger Letter. We have every sympathy for the sentiments and values of her letter -- mergers can have great benefits in many cases, as well as costs. It just doesn't seem to us, for the reasons already listed on the home page, that this particular merger has benefits which exceed its costs.
Comments from all sides are very welcome, and should be made as comments to this post. Please try to be courteous -- there's no reason to think that anyone is doing other than their best.

I want to point out to those who visit this blog that there is a series of comments that you can see if you click on "Students Against the Merger" in the right hand column. That they are there probably is my fault, since I was learning how to navigate the blog when I first commented. Now I will go back there to add a response to Tom's latest comment there.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly reasonable to put comments on particular posts; I just want to make them easy to find. The top bar now points to this post; a comment here can point to other posts, such as http://hamiltoncentraloptions.blogspot.com/2013/10/students-against-merger.html where you've put your comments and others have replied.
