A year-long process to find the next president of The Evergreen State College came to a shocking conclusion Wednesday when the college’s Board of Trustees emerged from a three-hour meeting and announced that the three finalists for the job had withdrawn their names from consideration.

I thought this was a “private” school...

No indeed - Evergreen State is budgeted in Olympia and competes for money with other state schools such as UW and WSU. Old budget data are archived here. Tuition 40%, State appropriations 29%, State and federal grants, 17%. The remainder is charges for sales and services.

The Prez has to run interference with the state Governor and the Board one one hand and the faculty/staff on the other. The latter are insisting on collective management. I suspect that that's one reason the candidates balked.

The only thing that is funny about ESC is the Geoducks. The school is run by Kindergarten drop outs... I would fire every staff... and see if Hillsdale would start a West Coast branch...

There are ex-students of Evergreen who claim they were victims of CIA drug and brainwashing experimentation programs.

A couple of years ago I would have called them crazy for claiming that. Now I'll just say they have a real reason for being crazy.

Yes, there is something particularly anti-machismo about having school mascot that is not a lion or tiger or pather or wolverine... but, instead, a clam.
