Controversy at Bennington College over plan to restructure
A dispute erupts between supporters of Claude Fredericks and Thomas Standish and President Edward Bloustein over publishing a radical restructuring plan in Quadrille. Bloustein says the alumni magazine serves the college, not as a campus opinion journal, and seeks balance for a 9000-reader audience. Standish and Fredericks pledge a refutation, arguing for freer dissemination of ideas to alumni and supporters while fundraising pressures mount amid costs and reorganization debates.
