Meeting Excerpts

“A mishmash and people will not understand it. The students . . . are going to have a million questions and this is going to trigger off innumerable questions that perhaps would not be asked if we had something that is more palatable than this kind of thing.”

Now who is going to be designated and how are we going to process the inquiries. . . . and how are we going to handle it?’
