"And
at that meeting our plan is to be able to make a recommendation to the full
board on one of those scenarios:
either one campus, or spin
off, or even closure possibly."

March 28 is the date when the plan is going to be announced –
a plan long in the works – probably since Dell Omo first stepped on to the
Rider campus for his first interview with the search committee charged with
replacing the outgoing Mordechai Rozanski.
We have 10 days to either sit around whimpering about it or
to escalate opposition.
The students are somewhat demoralized and have been coached
into submission by the Adminsitration seving SGA. The SGA has taken no position against the attack on Westminster Choir College and had put forward an administration coached letter in January to the Westminster student body.
The faculty was unable to pass a NO CONFIDENCE measure at
its March meeting though it was discussed and then tabled. They are also dealing with underhanded tactics of the same Dell Omo – false statements from administration sent to the faculty body and an apparent plan to force a lock out this fall.
Alumni for the most part have decried any sort of activist
approach.
10 days out and nobody is organizing:
Soon we might be able to say:
Create a fund to provide student stipends and fund resources for student opposition
March down 206
Hold a campus rally
Leaflet the Lawrenceville dorms
Flash mob Lawrenceville cafeteria
(SGA's) Pass a resolution clearly opposing any move or shuttering
Hold a student strike
Make a banner
Drop banners from the dorms
Disrupt a Dell Omo presentation
Record the O Dell Omo song in 6 parts
Hold a campus meeting against the move
Ally with AAUP in its struggles to save Westminster and protect the faculty

Will Westminster die with hardly a whimper?
