  "Nothing has been decided," Lee said, following a presentation of the findings of a feasibility study by Dr. Veldon Law, chief operation officer of the Clements Group which performed the review for the college.
  ...
  "It (the feasibility study) was done online," Law said.
  
  The 102 individuals interviewed included opinion shapers in the community, current or past board members and foundation board members.
  
  "It was not a statistical study," he said. There is a lot of positive feeling in the community about the college, Law said. Those TVCC resource challenges include finding additional funding, attracting and retaining qualified staff, keeping pace with technology and new programs, keeping education affordable and improving facilities, the study said.
  
  "I believe there is an understanding in the community of the need," he said. Law said respondents in the interview were very favorable toward funding campaign, but it would be more successful if big donors were on board ahead of the campaign.
  
  While those queried felt a funding campaign would be successful, some noted it could be difficult because of economic conditions, Law said. But, more than 160 potential donors were identified, he said.

  I know that the Interrobang reported on many sensitive subjects during Schartz's time as advisor, including the allegations of fraud against the wife of Barton's President, Dr. Veldon Law, as well as a homecoming incident involving Barton basketball player Robert Whaley, other Barton students, and students from Garden City Community College.
  ...
  Schartz wrote a letter to Dr. Law Feb. 27 explaining how the Interrobang had received Diboty's letter and described my encounter with Coach Campbell.
  ...
  Schartz and I went to hand deliver the letter to Law, as well as discuss the situation with him.
  ...
  Law seemed more visibly stressed than I had seen him, especially by the news that the letter would be printed.
  
  Law also somewhat agreed with Campbell's claim that the Interrobang was turning into the National Enquirer, saying the paper had become a "rag" on the college.
  ...
  However, on March 24, I happened upon Dr. Law between classes and he told me that I had handled the Diboty situation very well.He said he was originally concerned with the edited version we gave him.He said it looked like I put a lot of thought into it and that I left out some unconfirmable things and also left out some things that were true.He made no mention of Mrs. Schartz's letter.
  
  Myself, my staff, and Schartz felt that the situation was diffused after that talk with Dr. Law.
  ...
  Prior to Schartz's non-renewal, I had scheduled an appointment to talk to Dr. Law to talk about the end of the internal investigation.Dr. Law's secretary accused me of beating a dead horse- another sign of administrative contempt for our paper- but found a time to schedule the interview.
  
  Anyway, I talked with Dr. Law for a while about the investigation, but then turned to Schartz's situation.Most of the quotes from him are in my articles.
  
  From that conversation with Dr. Law, I came away with few, if any answers.One thing I did ascertain, though, is that Dr. Law believes that the administration does have the right to some control of the content of the Interrobang.
  
  This whole situation makes little sense to me in the fact that I see no reason to non-renew Schartz.The only reason I can think of for them to get rid of her is that she refuses to take a part in censoring the content of the Interrobang.

  The president of the college, Dr. Veldon Law, was quoted in the Wichita Eagle as saying, "We would be less than honest if we said we didn't face many of the same pressures felt by most colleges.The public pressure to win can often be difficult to manage while trying to pay the most attention to the student's academic needs."
  
  I think that quote just about nails it.It tells us that even at the community colleges, which in Kansas are funded in very large part by property tax levies sometimes approaching 40 mills in the host county, that when the taxpayers, the presidents, and the boards are not vigilant the primary mission of education can be compromised by the "public pressure to win" of which Dr. Law speaks.
