I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I believe a common characteristic among all successful organizations is effective communications, so I’m disappointed to hear that we fell short during your time with us. We have a new leadership team that shares my commitment to open and honest exchange and I expect that the condition that you describe will be effectively addressed moving forward. We will continue to open communication channels across all levels because we know it is essential to achieving our mission and are making it clear that employees can share their valuable perspectives without fear of reprisals. I thank you again for your comment. -Dr. James N. Baldwin, President, Excelsior College
