2 ° OCTOBER 6, 2006 ° THE COLLEGE VOICE .• ,·4- v ' • EDITORIAL&OPINION The President's Open Door
It takes years of hindsight to legitimately assess executive performance. Judging a president's effectiventess only a few weeks into his term is a useless endeavor. Still, The Voice would like " to venture a comment on Leo Higdon's open door policy. No, the President is not expecting peo-
o ple to drop by his office, but he is willing and hoping to engage students in a variety of capaci- , . ties around campus: Every dorm and various clubs have experienced a Higdon drop-by. The .President even has a date set for dinner at an off campus house inhabited by a group of Conn sen- iors. By granting The Voice an extensive interview this week, Higdon has again proven that his , . immediate concern is immersion in campus life. " This is not a comment on the overall performance of Leo Higdon, nor is it a forecast of how' well he will serve the Conn community. Rather, The Voice would like to note that it feels nice to have the respect and attention of a President who expresses a genuine interest in all areas of our community. We hope that President Higdon will continue to embrace the student body through- • out his term as President. Having a door open to student opinion is not a novel concept, but is one that ensures a wide variety of needs are met, and a wide spectrum of ideas are heard. The Voice hopes that President Higdon's close relationship with students at Conn will be a hallmark of his time here.
