sleepymaggieRutgers does so many idiotic things. First, they wanted to create the University of New Jersey and combine with other schools -- to make Rutgers even bigger and more insane.
Now, they want to do away with the divisions inside Rutgers -- namely, Douglas, Cook, and Livingston. This makes me furious. I never particularly liked Douglas, but it was a much better alternative than just going to Rutgers University. Think about trying to actually see a dean or get paperwork filed. If the beauracracy is bad now, how much worse will it get when its one giant mass? Besides, all the different colleges have their own culture. The combination of Cook college with all the rest of them would be a terrible thing -- they have such a community already.
If you're as mad as I am, head over to Save Douglass, sign the petition and send a letter to that drunkard McCormick and that insane governor's board. There's already word that the alumnai associations are really pissed about the whole thing -- and hopefully that'll have a major impact on the situation. Alumnai bring in a lot of money for Rutgers, so making them angry is not in the best interest of the rather greedy Rutgers administration.
Grr!

Douglass is predictably first to get on the ball with this and hopefully by getting the feminist community involved, that will help. Maybe Livingston will get some diversity leaders involved and Cook will get some environmental leaders involved and then they'll have a lot of groups breathing down their necks.
