In reply to: HC1843 's message, "NTK...development question" on 10:08:17 07/19/04 Mon

I have discussed or been privy to discussions with more than one person in Development. I haven't asked why they feel the response is under 50%. Personally, I doubt they could do more than speculate without some sort of polling of the alumni base. As to your noting of the change in the number of alumni, I have been told that it is a common (and allowable) practice in development to adjust the base by removing deceased alumni/ae, individuals who become "lost" (i.e., no mailable address), and individuals who asked to be removed from the mailing lists. If an individual can't be solicited for any of the above three reasons, this person can be removed from the base. Development may have had more adjustments this year, although the base, in fact, increased. If this happened, it was probably because in hiring a company to help reach individuals who have never made a gift since graduation, Development obtained information that led to the removal of names from the base for one of the above three mentioned reasons.

As to paragraph 2, I can only provide faculty compensation as one of the alternatives and I know of no others. As for the soccer stadium, I was led to believe that there would be word on this early July but it hasn't been forthcoming and I don't know what that means. Obviously I can't read the minds of the decision-makers. I try to give you the facts as they are made known to me but I do not profess to know everything...far from it. As for my opinion about "vision" I'd need to spend a lot of time on the Hill to be able to give you an answer. I hope this helps.
