[Vision2020] questions for Roy Atwood

[Bill London]

The documentary film My Town will be shown again at the Kenworthy on Thursday.  Anyone who wants a fuller understanding of the issues involved in the New Saint Andrews zoning complaints or other public controversies about Doug Wilson should go and see this movie.

I have seen it twice and won't be going again, but I do have a few questions for Roy Atwood, head of New Saint Andrews, who will be part of a panel discussing the movie afterward (see the press release below). BL
 
Roy Atwood:
1. You have been quoted in the press as pledging that New St. Andrews will not be growing, but your school recently hired Bob Hieronymous to head its fundraising and advancement program (as he had done before for the UI).  If NSA is not planning on growing, why hire someone whose job is to build endowments and enrollments?
2. What other downtown buildings would NSA like to purchase?
3. Do you and your faculty agree with Doug Wilson's views about slavery?
4. Do you have a plan or goal of ending the drag shows and other public gay-oriented events at the Beach building?
