HONESTLY, I THINK IT'S AN

192
00:06:18,966 --> 00:06:20,500
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FENCE

193
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:21,700
SITTERS ALSO TO COME AND MAKE

194
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:23,600
UP THEIR OWN MINDS ABOUT HOW

195
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,566
SERIOUS THE PRESIDENT IS ABOUT

196
00:06:24,566 --> 00:06:26,133
THIS PROCESS.

197
00:06:26,133 --> 00:06:27,333
>> SEVERAL SCHOOLS, INCLUDING

198
00:06:27,333 --> 00:06:29,600
THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, KELLEY

199
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,233
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND JACOBS

200
00:06:31,233 --> 00:06:32,200
SCHOOL OF MUSIC HAVEN'T MET

201
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,000
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

202
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,466
DEAN RICK VAN KOOTEN HAS

203
00:06:37,466 --> 00:06:38,966
REQUESTED A TOWN HALL, BUT SO

204
00:06:38,966 --> 00:06:41,833
FAR NONE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.

205
00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:43,200
>> ETHAN JOINS US FOR A LITTLE

206
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,666
BIT MORE.

207
00:06:43,666 --> 00:06:44,800
SO THE DAY AFTER YOUR ARTICLE

208
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,866
CAME OUT, THERE WAS, I GUESS,

209
00:06:46,866 --> 00:06:49,333
ANOTHER TWIST THAT WHITTEN HAD

210
00:06:49,333 --> 00:06:50,400
TO HAVE EYE SURGERY.

211
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,700
HOW DOES THAT GO WITH THE

212
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:52,666
LISTENING SESSIONS NOW.

213
00:06:52,666 --> 00:06:53,800
>> THAT PROBABLY MEANS THERE

214
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,233
WON'T BE ANOTHER LISTENING

215
00:06:55,233 --> 00:06:56,533
SESSION FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL

216
00:06:56,533 --> 00:06:57,633
WEEKS, AND THE COLLEGES ARE

217
00:06:57,633 --> 00:06:59,566
TELLING ME THAT IT COULD BE

218
00:06:59,566 --> 00:07:02,100
UNTIL LATE SUMMER OR FALL, WHEN

219
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:03,066
THIS RESUMES.

220
00:07:03,066 --> 00:07:04,700
NOW, WHITTEN'S OFFICE ALSO SAID

221
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:05,600
THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT

222
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,900
WAS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED BUT

223
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:09,000
THEY BUMPED IT UP BECAUSE OF

224
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,333
COMPLICATIONS.

225
00:07:09,333 --> 00:07:11,066
SO THAT'S ALL WE KNOW REALLY.

226
00:07:11,066 --> 00:07:13,166
>> SO BASED ON WHAT WE ARE

227
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:14,133
HEARING IN YOUR REPORT, YOU

228
00:07:14,133 --> 00:07:16,366
WERE TALKING WITH ALLOT OF

229
00:07:16,366 --> 00:07:18,033
FACULTY AND -- A LOT OF FACULTY

230
00:07:18,033 --> 00:07:20,100
AND I.U. SOUTH BEND HAVING A NO

231
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:21,433
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE AS WELL.

232
00:07:21,433 --> 00:07:24,066
WHAT'S YOUR READ ON ALL OF

233
00:07:24,066 --> 00:07:24,400
THIS?

234
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,233
>> SO, YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION

235
00:07:26,233 --> 00:07:28,500
IS WHETHER WHITTEN IS SINCERE

236
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:30,900
IN THIS COMMITMENT TO, YOU

237
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:32,466
KNOW, LEARN AND MOVE FORWARD

238
00:07:32,466 --> 00:07:33,533
WITH FACULTY.

239
00:07:33,533 --> 00:07:34,866
I THINK ONE OF THE STICKING

240
00:07:34,866 --> 00:07:36,100
POINTS THERE, THOUGH, IS MOST

241
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,300
OF THE FACULTY THAT I HEARD

242
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:40,533
AND, YOU KNOW, SPOKE WITH AT

243
00:07:40,533 --> 00:07:41,866
THESE SESSIONS ARE CALLING FOR

244
00:07:41,866 --> 00:07:43,566
HER TO RESIGN AND WHITTEN SAID

245
00:07:43,566 --> 00:07:44,933
SHE'S NOT INTERESTED IN

246
00:07:44,933 --> 00:07:45,433
RESIGNING.

247
00:07:45,433 --> 00:07:48,733
THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN DEMANDS

248
00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:50,300
AND IT'S NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN.

249
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:52,400
THE BUST OF TRUSTEES -- THE

250
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,866
BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS FULL

251
00:07:56,866 --> 00:07:58,000
CONFIDENCE IN WHITTEN.

252
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,133
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER SHE

253
00:07:59,133 --> 00:08:00,666
SEES LOSING THE TRUST OF THE

254
00:08:00,666 --> 00:08:01,766
FACULTY AS A LONG-TERM THREAT

255
00:08:01,766 --> 00:08:03,666
TO I.U., THAT NEEDS TO BE

256
00:08:03,666 --> 00:08:04,766
ADDRESSED BY ACTUALLY BRINGING

257
00:08:04,766 --> 00:08:06,466
THEM FURTHER INTO THE

258
00:08:06,466 --> 00:08:07,966
DECISION-MAKING AND THE WAY

259
00:08:07,966 --> 00:08:09,066
THEY WANT TO BE INCLUDED.

260
00:08:09,066 --> 00:08:10,166
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR

261
00:08:10,166 --> 00:08:10,433
REPORTING.

262
00:08:10,433 --> 00:08:11,766
I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT MORE TO

263
00:08:11,766 --> 00:08:12,266
WORK ON.

264

MAYBE SOME MORE TODAY, I

265
00:08:13,966 --> 00:08:14,733
BELIEVE.

266
00:08:14,733 --> 00:08:15,100
>> HOPEFULLY.

267
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:15,500

268
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:17,100

274
00:08:22,533 --> 00:08:24,466

279
00:08:31,066 --> 00:08:33,833
THE COUNCIL ALSO PASSED SEVERAL

280

REASONABLE CONDITIONS.

NOW, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE

LONG-TERM IMPACTS AND THE COSTS

293
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:03,966
OF GROWTH AT THIS SCALE.

294
00:09:03,966 --> 00:09:06,366

499
00:16:00,366 --> 00:16:02,300
TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT.

500
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:03,833

501
00:16:03,833 --> 00:16:05,933
THERE WAS A POTENTIAL THERE.

THE POTENTIAL OF THE SPACE, AND

504
00:16:08,833 --> 00:16:10,866
LAST MONTH THE CHURCH FORMALLY

505
00:16:10,866 --> 00:16:12,166
DONATED THE PROPERTY TO THE

507
00:16:12,933 --> 00:16:15,166
THE CIRCULAR SANCTUARY WILL NOT

509
00:16:16,433 --> 00:16:18,500
TYPICAL RUN OF THE MILL LIBRARY

510
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:19,966
BECAUSE OF THE HISTORIC

511
00:16:19,966 --> 00:16:20,266

512
00:16:20,266 --> 00:16:21,133
>> THIS WHOLE FIRST FLOOR

513
00:16:21,133 --> 00:16:22,466
REALLY NEEDS TO REMAIN PRETTY

514
00:16:22,466 --> 00:16:24,766
MUCH AS IT IS.

515
00:16:24,766 --> 00:16:25,866
THERE WILL BE -- THERE WILL BE

516
00:16:25,866 --> 00:16:27,433
A LITTLE BIT OF CHANGE BUT NOT

517
00:16:27,433 --> 00:16:27,633
MUCH.

518
00:16:27,633 --> 00:16:29,666
IT WILL REALLY BASICALLY LOOK

519
00:16:29,666 --> 00:16:31,033
EXACTLY LIKE IT IS.

520
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:33,100
SO THE SANCTUARY WILL LOOK VERY

521
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:33,400
SIMILAR.

522
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,400

THE VISION FOR THE SPACE IS

00:16:35,466 --> 00:16:36,733
MORE OF A COMMUNITY SPACE

526
00:16:36,733 --> 00:16:39,066
RATHER THAN A BOOK AND TABLE

531
00:16:42,766 --> 00:16:43,866
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE

WHAT THEY WANT THIS BUILDING TO

536
00:16:49,433 --> 00:16:52,266
BE, BECAUSE I FEEL VERY STRONG

537
00:16:52,266 --> 00:16:54,066
THIS ISN'T A LIBRARY BUILDING,

538
00:16:54,066 --> 00:16:54,266
RIGHT?

539
00:16:54,266 --> 00:16:55,166
IT'S A COMMUNITY BUILDING.

540
00:16:55,166 --> 00:16:56,133

547
00:17:05,466 --> 00:17:07,566
WILL REMAIN A FIXTURE IN THE

ELIMINATED THAT TRANSPORTATION

568

IF THE ROADWAY CAN MAINTAIN THE

724
00:21:51,166 --> 00:21:52,933
CHARGE OF A TRUCK IT CAN CARRY

725
00:21:52,933 --> 00:21:55,066
A SMALLER BATTER AND HAVE ROOM

BE AN IMPROVEMENT OVER CHARGING

>> THIS ROADWAY ELECTRIFICATION

735
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,266

WORK.

750
00:22:41,866 --> 00:22:43,600
