Now don't get me wrong, I'm normally the last person to complain about grass being crushed, and I'm the first one to swat at mosquitoes, but this idea is a little ridiculous and students should be more than upset....

I just read the article in the Seahawk about the development of Phase III housing across from Watson Ed. building. I am very disappointed in my university. I do not understand how they can teach about saving our planet and protecting our environment and in the next breathe approve the deforestation of a living lab! From the article it would seem that the board is only interested in saving the students from having to walk a little further to class. I have severe arthritis in both my knees, I park however far it takes from class just to have the opportunity to complete my education. And the board is worried about 18-21 year olds walking an extra 100 yards instead of saving an educational forest! And they call themselves educators?!
I would say that the phrase,"not in my backyard", just landed in our backyard! Students, are you going to let it stay there? We are the future alumni and the university will someday call for a donation. How will you respond to a university that ignored the needs of many for the needs of the few?

The link to an article above is one of the few moments in her career when she actually backed the priorities of her students. When Rosie came to UNCW we were estatic to have a female Chancellor. She has proved herself lacking strong leadership skills, inventiveness and a commitment of 'being green' to the majority environmental students and faculty. All the projects she has engaged in since her hire in 2003 are OLD projects that were shelved years ago. Not one autonomously new idea. All these projects were deemed 'bad ideas' years ago and they still are !
She is the worst Chancellor UNCW could ever have and she needs to resign. I believe even Lawrence Summers discovered the advantages to that !
Go home, Rosie, maybe they still want you in Georgia where you've already done your damage !
