At least Tony loves my work. I hope to get copies of “Requiem for a College” into the hands of leadership at small private colleges, so they can read what happened to Saint Joseph’s College, and learn.

I feel like George McFly at the end of “Back to the Future” as I opened these boxes today. I experienced the trend of small college closures and lived to write about it. “Requiem for a College” is available now. #academicsky
