Confessions of a Community College Dean

Time for a reset, and a big thank-you to my wise and worldly readers.

When moving, the loss comes before the gain.

An appreciation of children’s books.

When conflict avoidance only generates more conflict.

Intellectual diversity, admissions by lottery and a thank-you note.

Excited to start a new role.

When demand for seats outstrips supply at an open-admissions institution.

When individually rational strategies are cumulatively destructive.
