Hello Mr. Lawry,

Jimmy Williams is an integral part of the Antioch community and a knowledgeable point of access to the strands that tie Antioch’s past to Antioch’s future. I am saddened to see that his importance has been overlooked by this administration.

I am also amazed and appalled to hear that you don’t believe a dedicated Dean of Students is important to student recruitment and retention. Who else is there to act as a direct connection between the students who pay for the experience and those who work for them: you, Mr. Lawry, and all of the offices you oversee.

I’m sure Mr. Williams will make out fine without Antioch, and I’m sure you will save some money without a Dean of Students (or his secretary), but I believe the Antioch community got the short end of the stick on this decision.

Sincerely,

Forrest Gray

Class of 2000
