Colleagues, I have high hopes that this is the last football-related e-mail you will receive from me. I have several pieces of information to report to you regarding the activities of the Football Committee.

 

*The survey developed by George Dehne & Associates to assess opinions about football at Hendrix has been delayed. You will receive an e-mail in late January (instead of mid-January) with a link to the survey. Carl Burch has generated secure passwords that will be assigned to us to ensure that each of us fills out the survey only once; he and GDA will hold copies of these lists. Response options to some of the demographic questions have been changed to minimize the likelihood of identifying a particular respondent and to maximize anonymity.

 

*At the October 17 colloquium and after, many of you requested information that you would want to consider in making your own decisions about the football issue. I?ve attempted to gather as much of that information as reasonably possible. Attached please find a Word document constituting a concise-ish report to you of that information (Football Report 1.16.08.doc). I am attaching two other documents that are referenced in the report. Please contact me if you have questions or comments about this report.

 

*You will have an opportunity to discuss the issue of football at Hendrix at the Project Pericles Forum Thursday at noon. Members of the Football Committee will be on hand to answer questions and I can also answer questions raised by the report. I look forward to seeing you there and hope to enjoy a lively but civil discussion.
