I have been asking for years via letters and calls what are they doing about sexual assault on campus and I get the same lame non answers. I have never given $$ to beloit because of this I have never given to my brothers memorial fund for this reason and it is a point of contention between my father and myself because he gives lots of $$$$ to the college knowing that they do not protect students from adult or punish the perps. Both of us were told that since they put up signs there is no sexual assault on campusAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656630242597134716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-13199412110045408572016-06-07T21:40:19.616-05:002016-06-07T21:40:19.616-05:00As president, Bierman's #1 job is to secure $$...As president, Bierman's #1 job is to secure $$$ for the college. So anyone who has $ to give, credit relationships to give, or anything like that, he is going to do everything in his power to ingratiate himself and the college with them, with pretty much no exceptions. He will push the "separation of $$ and board seats from policy" angle as much as he can.<br /><br /><br />Whether or not Hendricks is pushing an authoritarian xenophobic agenda on the board -- and all signs point to no from what I have read -- I think Beloit has much bigger and more immediate culture problems than one "friend of a friend" racist right-winger on the board!<br /><br />I would argue that things like these are red herrings. There are much more immediate issues that actually affect people's lives. Some examples:<br /> <br /> * Women's experiences with sexual assault on campus<br /> * Culture of affluence causing financial problems for the majority of students and prospective students (financial aid, room and board, tuition, on-campus living requirement)<br /> * Inadequate/outdated staff and curriculum in many fields. <br /><br />- Forest, Class of 2014Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209380526974770954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-24575924178172620972016-06-07T10:32:26.239-05:002016-06-07T10:32:26.239-05:00Paul, as my old RA I appreciate you commenting on...Paul, as my old RA I appreciate you commenting on my blog. I think I am not getting my point across very well. In my opinion, I don't think politics, liberalism, conservatism, fascism etc ... Have anything to do with this. <br /><br /><br />What bothers me is the racism, sexism, and misogyny that matter. He has went beyond what should be considered acceptable in society. <br />Maybe I did a better job explaining it here <br />http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2016/06/trustee-hendricks-response.html?m=1<br /><br /><br />Jeff Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118335402641807712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-7570954669922764072016-06-07T09:49:14.254-05:002016-06-07T09:49:14.254-05:00Ms. Hendricks, from all reports of those who'v...Ms. Hendricks, from all reports of those who've actually worked with her at Beloit, has had a long tenure of generous service to the college, and absolutely NO efforts to meddle in the delivery of academics there. I despise her politics, but this kind of effort to shut ourselves off from thought/speech we dislike is much more in line with the authoritarian fascism of Donald Trump, than it is Liberalism. ~ Paul Noble, Class of '86Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-77148585928672426012016-06-07T07:12:02.105-05:002016-06-07T07:12:02.105-05:00http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2016/06/truste...http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2016/06/trustee-hendricks-response.htmlJeff Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118335402641807712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-78133193186648759002016-06-07T01:03:29.756-05:002016-06-07T01:03:29.756-05:00Yes.

Ms. Hendricks sounds, essentially, anti-education, and I would think this is a conflict for her on any educational institution.
