But I don't think there is anyone who can sue the officers and council for NOT deciding to leave. So from the viewpoint of individuals with kids in college or nearly as expensive as college daycare, with careers to make, and who are finding all this almost more than can be borne with each passing day, not to decide is to decide, not to do is to do too.

What should have been weighed more heavily is the fiduciary consequences in staying. The withdrawal of a large block of medievalists who are members of MAA means several thousands of dollars in lost revenue. The financial fallout is starting to creep up towards that 20,000 amount that was discussed. The withdrawal of membership and its financial impact should also been considered in light of the board's fiduciary responsibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
