[nagdu] discussion concerning my letter to the board of directors of Guide Dogs for the Blind

[Margo and Arrow]

>From what I hear, students are being served on and off campus and, as many
of you know, Seeing Eye housed the training in a hotel while dealing with
infrastructure and mechanical matters at the main campus.  And, that
happened just fine.  Students are back at the campus now, and, even some of
the things started at the hotel have been brought back to the main campus.  


>From what I hear, students are given follow-up as needed.

Folks, I was at The Eye in 1981 the first time.  We did not have field reps.
Still, students got to talk things over on the phone, we used snail mail,
students got visits.  It still happened.

Also,

The Seeing Eye cuts took place, I believe, last year.  We have not heard of
drastic changes in service at TSE while we are hearing such about GDB.

I think the issues with Seeing Eye are somewhat different. With GDB, I think
the issue is, at least in part, the firing of employees, but more to the
point, the lack of transparency and communication with the graduates and
staff about changes. It is clear to me that Seeing Eye made all such
personnel changes clear to staff, and the need for same, long before the
cuts actually happened, and after they happened, the school was very
forthright and transparent in explaining the reasons for the cuts. Yes,
there is a group of Seeing Eye students making some noise about their cuts
as well, but I don't see it the same way at all.
