Hersh predicts that students at “handcrafted” liberal arts colleges such as Trinity will do better in the assessment than those at what he calls “McUniversity.” “We’re going to demonstrate that liberal arts colleges are well worth the price. Employers who are looking for people with good analytical skills already know this.”Richard H. Hersh, president, “More Colleges Putting Students to the Test,” by Mike Bowler, Baltimore Sun, December 22, 2002 “I know I was the first minority on the ballot in West Hartford history and I was on the Republican ticket,” Ma said. “I am very proud of that.” Naogan Ma, lecturer of modern languages, “GOP Touts School Board Choice: Ma Picked To Replace DeLucco,” by Carolyn Moreau, Hartford Courant, December 13, 2002 But it is worth wondering whether there is not an intrinsic problem with making scandal the determining basis for deciding how to respond to trouble in the church. The Hebrew prophets, and Jesus, and some saints, made it their business to expose what they considered wrongdoing in the religious institutions they belonged to. Scandal was what they were about. And the church celebrates them today for causing it. Mark Silk,
director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of
Religion in Public Life, “The Worst Kind of Scandal”
(Editorial), Hartford Courant, December 15, 2002
