Interesting--I had a letter in the mail today from West Chester Dean Lori A. Vermeulen. I assume others got it too?
The key points are: "the Director position is currently vacant;" the University is undertaking "an administrative study" of the Poetry Center's "organizational structure;" and the university is commissioning "an independent review of the Poetry Center's finances."
She adds: "This review will confirm the Center's current financial status and provide valuable information to plan for its long-term success."
During the "transition" to a conference in 2016, they will be "asking for input from the Center's constituent groups including the Advisory Board, WCU faculty and students, community members and donors and friends about how best to position the Center to meet its mission and remain a place that is known for its inclusiveness and the nurturing support that it provides writers."
She welcomes "questions or concerns."
