Abstract
"The faculty seems to find the cause of many of Bennington's problems
in the inability of students "to cope with a situation in which
legal privledges are taken for granted and the primary focus of
interest is the welfare of the community" as witnessed by the "anarchy
that prevails in their houses", which according to the Resolution,
is making "many students unable to function effectively".
As we understand the Resolution, the faculty has made a causal
connection between the inability of students to cope with freedom, privilege,
and community responsibility and what they call the "consequences"...We see no reasonable connection between what the faculty cites as the causes and consequences in this situation. We do not understand the content of the cause and effect sequences set up in
the Resolution and we would welcome further explication from the
faculty."
