Questions about what role the university should play within the larger community, what trends should and shouldn't be encouraged, and where university life is centered cannot be left unasked. What that means is that it would be a big mistake for the university to move on as intended without an active and critical role being played by those involved and effected, university administrators, students, developers and community members. If we do not step lightly we may end up doing more harm than good. It does seem that this kind of dialog is beginning. I think we should continue and expand it.
