Students question personnel decisions
Hannah Winkler
W&N Editor
Campus Life administra
tors verified the rumor
that Rebecca Saunders,
Director of Student
Involvement and Leadership,
is no longer employed by
Guilford College.
At last week's Senate meet
ing it was confirmed to stu
dents that on Mon, April 12,
Saunders had a meeting with
Anne Lundquist, Assistant
Dean of Campus Life, where
she was given the opportunity
to resign or be let go.
Saunders worked in con
junction with the Office of
Campus Life. She reported
immediately to her supervi
sors Lundquist and Randy
Doss, college Vice President.
The Director of Student
Involvement and Leadership
position, held by Saunders,
was created in summer 2003.

Now, because UNCG's final

May 8, they will not be
allowed to walk with their fel

"To alter this policy would
jeopardize this equality and
open us up to significant
numbers of petitions for varia

prevents us from having to
deal administratively with
multiple variations which
drain time and energy from
the registrar's and the dean's
offices."

Dear Friends,
While this is the last
issue of The Guilfordian this
school year, this issue is
much more significant for
yours truly on a more person

looming closer as each day
passes, I find that my days
are full of more lasts than

For example, Friday was my
last time at Bowling Club.
Next week will be my last
Hillel meeting and by the time
you read this, my last classes
will be only a few days away.
With that in mind, this column
will be my last ever for The
Guilfordian.
As someone who has made
a reputation over the last four
years as always having some
thing to say and opinions
about everything, I find myself
now in the precarious position
of being left rather speech

Quite honestly, I have so
much to say, but no idea on
even how to begin. I suppose
the strong bond I feel towards
the newspaper is connected
to my strong feelings towards
the college itself. In the
spring of 2000, Guilford
College took a chance on an
