He also takes the time to brag about the various colleges and departments, some thing that makes people associated with those fields very proud. When he spoke to the SGA several weeks ago, Watts said universities are businesses and students are its customers. That is something students have known for years. That is also why enrollment is dropping. High quality doesn't gurantee an item will sell, salesmanship counts as well. Just as cus- tomers will eventually stop shopping at a store if they are ignored, students will stop attending the University if they do not feel valued. An administrator does not have to be rude to make a student feel unwanted. Ignoring students has the same effect. Students feel they are being ig- nored. They have felt as if no one has listened to them for years. Watts is giving them hope. His example is one other administrators could learn from.
