Jay Dorey is to be applauded for providing a reasonable cornerstone for upcoming policy revisions within the university and its governance structures. I would urge for an in-depth study of these propositions and a clarification of the primary goals in regards to student interactions with the authorities of our university.

As a member of TWUSA both this year and into the next, I will be striving to bring the issues addressed in this report and the consensual recommendations within it to the Board, the University and to anyone who is interested in listening. As students, we must make our voices heard in a beautiful speech of openness, personal commitment and positive engagement.

It is my hope that schools who have gone through similar changeswill be consulted in some way in order to ascertain what worked best for them. And yet I am also very impressed with the Governance Committee’s statements regarding the unique nature of TWU. We do not fall into regular categories of a non-profit organization or a corporation. We are a fine Christian liberal-arts university. Let us hold our reactions in check until developments begin to take place.
