At a neighborhood meeting last night, I received some questions about DCCCD's and Richland College's plans for the Downtown Garland Campus. Questions and e-mails have not been infrequent. I noticed a link on the Richland College homepage that addresses some of those questions that might be helpful to some.

I recently posted information about some of the history behind the project. I felt compelled to do so for two reasons: first, much that had been stated as "fact" wasn't, and, second, the recent Dallas Morning News articles did not have sufficient depth to be helpful to readers. (Available here and here.)

I complained to the DMN that much of the articles were devoted to reporting gossip, that erroneous statements were repeated without challenge or confirmation, particularly when the DMN Archives held a much different story. I was told by Clay Morton, our local editor, that they would be writing an additional story that would explore deeper. I learned yesterday from several people that they had spoken to a reporter that was indeed writing that story. I look forward to reading it!

The DMN ran a new article on the campus late Saturday night. I believe this represents a much move balanced view of the campus. It is available online at:
