Our children are not educated by the Board or the President but by the faculty. They have been able to consistently deliver high quality education (US News ranking still in top 20!!!), despite all these problems, Presidential changes and low salaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300809132641276375.post-19216732376337150232009-09-08T15:45:11.568-04:002009-09-08T15:45:11.568-04:00As a citizen of Wheeling and an admirer of Wheelin...As a citizen of Wheeling and an admirer of Wheeling College for many years it is striking to me that there is little to no media presence from the University regarding this matter. Where is the public relations and marketing department? Who is taking responsiblity for the now tarnished image of this once pristine institution? Just because people aren't asking the questions directly doesn't mean that people aren't forming opinions on how this was handled. I can only imagine the impact this will have on recruitment, retention and overall community public opinion.<br /><br />It really seems to me like the tail is wagging the dog on this one. The BOT, the Bishop, or whomever is calling the shots and the University community as a whole is left to react (or not) to whatever direction they have chosen to go. It is a shame that schools like Bethany and West Liberty (who certainly have had their share of scandal over the years as well) appear to be more on the ball than Wheeling Jesuit. The Communication person declines an interview? Mr. MacAteer was unable for comment? Say *something* Wheeling Jesuit...don't let nearly 60 years of image go down the tubes because of an inability to respond to a crisis. <br /><br />I can honestly say that while I have always held Wheeling Jesuit in high regard, I'd think twice before having my son or daughter send an application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
