Our community is quite fractured these days, and it was unnecessary...<BR/><BR/>I remember when the President's residence was moved off campus. It was after the riots in the early 70s - when I was in school - and there was some concern that the President's residence would be a juicy target (buildings were being burned on other campuses after all).<BR/><BR/>I'd hope those days are behind us, and the President would feel secure living on campus, just like all of us parents who have kids living there.<BR/><BR/>PLPaulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05960574627644930183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32582789.post-22328804146106745202008-05-01T11:32:00.000-04:002008-05-01T11:32:00.000-04:00Paul,<BR/><BR/>Off-topic - It's to your credit that you haven't spent the last couple of weeks screaming "I TOLD YOU SO!" on your blog.<BR/><BR/>As for the President's House... its purpose more often involves connecting with a community somewhat different than the 'OSU Community' ... and persuading them to part with those $zillions. The house is still undergoinig renovations AFAIK, but I expect even when it's finished I'll see much more of him on campus than his neighbors will at home.bonobohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08241279987882052237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32582789.post-20908749816049792662008-05-01T10:18:00.000-04:002008-05-01T10:18:00.000-04:00Gee-whiz, in my days at OSU, the President lived ON CAMPUS. If President Gee really wanted to connect with the OSU community, he'd move back. If we can spend $zillions on athletic facilities, we can spend a few on a new President's residence on campus.<BR/><BR/>PLPaulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05960574627644930183noreply@blogger.com
