Dear Faculty, Between announced layoffs, COVID-19, and the compensation readjustment, we have been hearing from faculty. Please remember that the President, Dr. Henry Cotton, and his team, care deeply and humanely about each and every one of you. Words and actions cannot truly express the emotional bond we feel towards you.

Please bear this in mind as we move inexorably towards the conclusion of the semester and the implementation of the Emergency Readjustment Plan.

Sincerely, Assistant to Provost Vandergrind, Dr. Pousse de Fauteuil

Dear Faculty,

During the period of Restructuring please refrain from removing office furniture, computers, doorknobs or other hardware, or carpeting from your offices. These are property of Willard College. Please also remember that Willard College is currently in a State of Siege. See the memorandum regarding conduct that is not permitted for any employee.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks, Special Assistant to the Provost, Dr. Pousse de Fauteuil

Dear Willard College, As we enter into the face paced world of the challenging landscape of higher education, we are thrilled to announce the college’s new general counsel, Dr. Rudolph Giuliani!

Sincerely, Provost Vandergrind

Dear Willard Community, We are excited to announce that President Donald J. Trump has asked Willard College to become the home of the Doald J. Trunp Presidential Library. There is nothing more to say. We are so proud and excited.

Details will follow.

Sincerely, Provost Vandergrind

Dear Willard College Students, your families, caretakers, loved ones, etc.

While other colleges jump on the bandwagon of online education in response to the COVID-hoax, Willard College is going forwards by going backwards to the GREAT American tradition of by-mail correspondence courses. Each week, students will receive a package from each faculty. Please fill out the required materials and mail back. Remember to affix the correct postage.

Please also note that not all the faculty who were employed at Willard College last spring are currently employed with us. We expect by mid-November, all course reassignments will be complete. In the meantime, please be patient as we repurpose and humanely redistribute the remaining beloved faculty.

Sincerely, Provost Vandergrind and President Dr. Henry Cotton

Dear Colleagues, While we continue to hash out the details of what the Fall semester will look like, we are excited to announce sever preliminary steps that we feel will enhance our capacity, ease transitions and pivots, and to provide us some initial benchmarks.

1. Renovate and increase capacity of the old Willard Asylum morgue
2. Purchase a new backhoe for increasing our capacity to dig graves
3. Renovate the old asylum cemetery and assess new burial sites
4. Restart Athletics program

Please keep an eye on your email over the summer for more updates!

Sincerely, Associate Vice Provost Milton Vandergrind

 

 

We are excited to announce that Associate Vice Provost Milton Vandergrind will be leading the Willard Reimaging Working Group. With 20 years of experience in the Cruise Ship Industry where Dr. Vandergrind is a thought-leader, he will leadership the campus efforts to respond elegantly and gently to the post-COVID 19 reality. In his opening remarks, shared below, Dr. Vandergrind shared his philosophy of leadering. “We are living in a state of exception, and as such authority and decision making must revert to the original source, that of the office of the President and the person of its occupant, Dr. Henry Cotton and in the case of his incapacitation, either Provost Shames or Associate Vice Dean, Cheryl Tina Faye Cotton. This is the end of any messaging that would be relevant to faculty or staff. Please cease all underground communications and await further instructions.” At the conclusion of his remarks, we enjoyed a lovely luncheon of cold salmon, cucumber salad, and chilled white wines.

Sincerely, Dr. President Henry Cotton

Dear Junior Leadership Team,

As we continue to develop a response to COVID-19 and its impact on our community the Senior Leadership Team seeks input from the Junior Leadership Team. The SLT takes the JLT’s input seriously. SLT cannot do it alone. We need JLT. Please fill out the questionnaire that was mailed to you last week. All forms must be filled out correctly. Do not fill in the bubbles incorrectly. Any form that is not completely and correctly filled in will be destroyed. We will not send the JLT new forms.

Sincerely,

President Henry Cotton and the SLT
