"There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true." ~Winston Churchill
Lately, I've been hearing a lot of rumors. It's next to impossible to know which, if any, hint at the truth. All are somewhat plausible, and none are beneath the current situation the College finds itself in.
I've listed them below. Act responsibly once you've read them. Don't spread them like wildfire. Instead, work to confirm them or dispose of them.
1. Cruise line to purchase portion of SJ property for lightering facility. Rumor has it, that an agency has made an offer. Reliability: who knows?
2. $1.2 million grant lacks the matching funds needed to keep it. Reliability: Possible, since the College is in financial crisis.
3. City gets better position on lien because of some change / oversight by SJ lender. Reliability: Could be, since some reference was made to this during last Assembly Meeting.
The truth: There'd be less rumors if the College would open up lines of communication. The website hasn't changed for over a month, Board minutes are unavailable, phones go unanswered regularly, messages aren't returned.

Not sure where else to post this, so here goes:
There will be a meeting to discuss issues surrounding development of a tribal college in Sitka. I'm posting this here because many/some/a few of the folks who care about SJC seem to think the tribal college route could work. As far as I know the tribe, college or city haven't held a meeting to talk about this. So I figured the least I could do is schedule and facilitiate a meeting. We'll see who sows up.
By the way, i'm not necessarily advocating for an SJC conversion. But if the cruise lines, city and others are circling like vultures, maybe it makes sense for a group to come in and propose development of a tribal college in the Allen Auditorium building, or some such.
6:00 - 7:30 PM Thursday, October 11 in the Maksoutoff Room of the Centennial Building
anything new on the family housing units
True so true!
The college needs to open up. The Alumni need to know more!
This is not the boards college alone, but ours also.
We need to be able to help! We made it great and do not want it torn down.
Keep us in the loop!
