Abstract
The task for the committee that visited Bennington College in early
October, 1989 was to assess the College's ability to understand and find
solutions for its fiscal problems and to determine the impact, if any, of
these problems on the quality of its academic programs. The team was well
aware from the academic grapevine, from several publications from the
College, from the New York Times piece of 18 October 1988, and, of course,
from the self-evaluation report prepared for the October visit, that much
had happened since the visit of November 1986. However, I do not think
that anyone of us was pre pared for the intensity of the effort by all
Benningtonites to guarantee a healthy future for the College as we ll as
their dedication to preserving and enhancing the Bennington concept of
liberal education.
