Cindy came over last night and we had dinner here and then went out and got coffee and desert. She told me some very interesting things about her boss, Dr. Rohr. She said that she’s typed many letters saying that something should be done because it would look good to the presbyters, it would look good or because it would have good political repercussions. She said that he seems as if he’s there for the image. I kind of have to agree. He always seems just a little aloof. Perhaps that’s just my conception, though. At any rate, Cindy thinks (and I agree) that it’s Dr. Rohr and Ray and Jordan that kind of squeezed Dr. Petrota out and are doing the same thing with Dr. Blue. (Interesting story about him: Cindy’s class with him was outside one day, he was wearing a long‑sleeve dress shirt and he took it off because it was hot; someone “reported” it and he was told not to do it again. Ridiculous.) And Dr. Blue’s not the only professor that’s leaving. Dr. McDonald is leaving, though not for the same reasons, at least not admittedly so. He’s leaving because he feels that the students don’t want to learn anymore. (I want to learn.) And, to top it all off, the Woolsey’s are thinking about leaving. I think that says something either about the students or the politics in the fauculty. I think it’s the latter. Plus, Dr. Chu left last year, though I’ve no idea why. Now, if Mme Bishara leaves then I’ll think something is really screwed at “good ole KC.” It would appear that the whole school will be getting new professors soon…the whole college receiving a scholarly enema, though I don’t think it needs one. I think maybe a labotomy might be more effective…
