2015 Goddard College
HE BOARD RECENTLY
offered, and I gladly
signed, a three-year
contract as president
of Goddard College, to
start July 1st. I am pleased to drop
the interim part of the title and am
humbled by the confidence placed
in me. This is a fine yardstick and
outcome of my last year of work, and
I thank the Goddard community for
joining me in our combined efforts
to move our small school forward.
I read a piece in The Chronicle of
Higher Education in which the president
of a small college noted how much of
the day-to-day operations the president
is called upon to understand and,
sometimes, be involved with. While
the president is not required to know
how to do much of what they are called
upon to understand, they still have to
make decisions about it and coherently
communicate those decisions and
their rationale. The small college in the
article was much larger than Goddard.
Although Goddard is small, we
think big. Take, for instance, the group
of activities related to carbon neutrality
and sustainability with which
Goddard and I have been intimately
involved. Some of these activities are
small enough to be undertaken with
Goddards very capable personnel and
limited, but well used, fiscal resources.
These include insulating, weatherizing,
light replacement, mechanical systems
upgrades, ride boards, water bottle
alternatives, kitchen food sourcing,
and so on. Through these actions
we have made significant reductions
in our power and fuel oil use.
Now we are faced with a bigger
project, one that we cannot undertake
on our own. Even if we could, it

CONTROVERSIAL
This past fall, Goddard College made national headlines
and ignited a fierce debate when the graduating students
of the Undergraduate Studies Program invited controversial
prisoner and alumnus Mumia Abu-Jamal (BA 96) to speak
via recorded remarks at their commencement.
Following the announcement of the
speaker choice, Goddard endured a
barrage of scornful press reports, hatelaced phone messages, and social media
backlash. Pennsylvania Republican
Senator Pat Toomey pressured the college
to rescind its invitation, with police
and corrections officials issuing similar
calls. Goddard, citing its responsibility
to support free speech and academic
inquiry, refused to rescind the invitation
and graduation went ahead as planned.
In addition to the impassioned
messages from people on both sides
of the issue, Goddard heard from
numerous professors, law students and
high-school teachers requesting copies
of the transcript to use in classroom
discussions and debates. The controversy
ended up sparking a national dialogue.

On Oct. 16, just 11 days after Abu-Jamals recorded remarks were played for the 23 graduates
and their families in the Haybarn Theatre, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives drafted
and passed the Revictimization Relief Act, designed to prevent inmates from making
statements that would cause a temporary or permanent state of mental anguish for victims
and their families. The law is being challenged in court by several groups, including Mumia
Abu-Jamal, who claim it is a violation of their constitutional right to the freedom of speech.

s it enters its 42nd year, WGDR, Goddard Colleges Community Radio Station,
continues to develop and implement best practices, both on and off the air.
Many of these practices have been part of WGDRs experience all along, while
others are brand new, both to the College and to our regular listenership. New
tools like Unattended Operation, and new initiatives like our credit-bearing
academic programs (True Stories and Indie Kingdom) are driving a visible shift
in our culture and service. Here are some of our achievements this year.

technologies for efficiency
and emissions control.
Can Goddard afford it? By switching
to lower-cost and more predictably
priced woodchips, eliminating aging
oil boilers that would have to be
replaced over the next decade, and
fundraising for 10 percent of the
total project cost, Goddard can save
money the first year, and an average of
$84,500 for each of the next 30 years.
A task force of consultants, staff and
board members are working to bring the
woodchip heating system to fruition.
Timothy Maker, president and
CEO of Community Biomass Systems,
Inc., has high hopes for the project.
Ive been managing woodchip
heating projects for thirty years, he
says, and the Goddard project is hands
