For the life of me, I can't really see that she accomplished much, except perhaps on those diversity fronts. Alcohol, Greeks, clubs, etc., just puttering away at the margins.
When we have a real, improved recreation facility comparable to our varsity athletic facilities, we'll be getting somewhere. But then I understand it took over half a century to get a real student center, so what they hey... What's a decade?
John Kolligian is not who appears to be - how long before you realize it?
Wow, campus club and the four year residential college system. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.
Wow, you guys are absolute assholes. Vice President Dickerson has done more to improve campus life for the student body than any other administrator or combination of administrators. Frist Center, four year rescols, Stephens Fitness Center, the Fields Center, and creating a centralized resource for volunteering (Pace, SVC, and Community House): these have all had a major positive impact on the student body. Just because you are too closed minded or moronic to understand this doesn't mean you should criticize her for it.
Dear Loyal Watchdog--
I realize that an undergrads viewpoint is very, very limited, but most of those "accomplishments" you cite were initiated, implemented, opened, etc., long before Dickerson ever set foot on campus. Frist. Stephens. SVC, Community House were around for decades, and only the Pace $ made centralization possible, $ raised by development, not student affairs. 4 yr residential colleges have been the apple in Nancy Malkiel's eye for almost 20 years, as part of her diabolical plan to elminate the clubs.
Head over the archives and read some back issues of the Prince before you open your laptop.
Nobody I know who's ever worked with Janet Dickerson or even met her has anything bad to say about her. The nastiness above is typical of the Prince's underinformed, trollish commenting community and in no way reflects how most Princetonians feel about this terrific administrator and human being. The silent majority will miss you, VP Dickerson.
<3 janet dickerson. you will be missed.
