Bennett fallout
A pair of anonymous Bennett College faculty members respond to today's Q&A in the Ideas section with President Johnnetta Cole:
One commenter writes in part: "As a faculty member at Bennett College for Women, it is an atmosphere of intimidation. The faculty were referred to as 'demons' in the chapel, a list of the 'splinter faculty' were given to students (by whom??) and read aloud at a student meeting.
Writes another: "Has anyone considered that perhaps these faculty had legitimate concerns???"
Well, yes. But when we attempted to interview faculty about those concerns, no one would come forward.
And when we tried to solicit questions for the Cole interview from readers ahead of time, no one responded.

If News & Record must absolutely cut $34,000 from the budget, why not cut the management who suggested cutting New York Times? One of the best articles today was from NYTimes. If you want the Triad to be an area to attract world class company's like Dell and FedEx we need to have access to worldclass news and professional editorials such as those from NYTimes. NYTimes is one of the few newspapers in the country with increasing readership and distribution. A newspaper should educate the public--not only provide narrow-minded rural insular views of only local news.

Maybe I read it wrong, but it seems the $34,000 is not what they're trying to save. The 10% increase is what they were complaining about. The $34,000, according to this newspaper, would be better SPENT elsewhere. To lose the NYT over $3,400 is a short-sighted shame.

Mr. Allen,
Could you do me and Gail a favor and drop these comments down a notch?

Allen,
And the above comments have what to do with the Bennett College article posted??????

I know the N&R is, generally, against offering anonymity to people it quotes - but is this one of those instances wherein they would have done it, had anyone been willing to talk? Seems like, if the situation there is half as bad as these faculty describe, they would have legitimate fears about losing their job - which for many papers is enough.
