Response to “Warped Perceptions of Change”
Claire Gould’s recent editorial about getting used to change was well-intentioned, but I disagree with the message. The argument was based on the fact that many alumni and students get angered at [...]
Public Statement from President Lee Higdon
The alleged plagiarism of the 2009 student Commencement speech was clearly within the scope of Connecticut College’s Honor Code. The restrictions on our ability to speak fully and openly about this [...]
In Response to “Campus Politics”

In Response to “Activism and Self-Promotion”

Newspaper Response

General Response
When I came here, thirty years ago, the student newspaper was an embarrassment. It was one of the worst things about the college. Now, it is one of the best things about the college. My [...]
General Response

Response to “Less Facebook, More FaceTime”

Response to “Tights Are Not Pants!”
This is a long and much-overdue response to an article in the last issue entitled “Tights Are Not Pants!” by Sarah Weiss. Inspiring much criticism (a -6 ranking on The College Voice website), I [...]
