<p>I don't believe Bjm8 would be willing to take a substantial pay decrease. :)</p>
<p>I have advocated for some time a masculine voice, personal experiences and male perspective would be more than benefical in assessing women from a different mindset (no different than the hiring process) and would greatly enhance the admission process. At every LAC in the country females make decisions on male applicants every day. I see no difference in having both genders collaborate on such important decisions at a women's college.</p>

<p>I didn't think this was that big of a deal until today. My daughter was visiting with a few Yale students who were complaining bitterly about the hassles of summer storage and the fact they had to find storage off campus and then find a way to transport their belongings to the storage site.</p>
<p>broke the only 1 item per post rule!
Oh wait, I'm a Smithie. That's not only acceptable, but expected. ;-)]]]</p>
<p>My wife makes up rules to suit the moment to. I'm never sure what the h<em>l is what. The daughter tries the same thing, but I'm paying the bills so we go by *MY</em> rules, period :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the compliment, but who gets the corner office? :)</p>
<br>
<blockquote> <blockquote> <p>...but who gets the corner office?</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>That would be me.</p>
<p>Actually, now that I think about it...I've talked to several Smith admissions officers, past & present, and not only have none been male, I can't recall <em>hearing</em> of one that was male.</p>
<p>I can't recall <em>hearing</em> of one that was male.}}</p>
<p>B/c there never was one I know of. There's always a first</p>
<p>There has been at least one male Smith admissions officer, as I know him. He is an Amherst grad married to a Smithie and they both worked as Smith admissions officers for a while, quite some time ago. She kept at it longer, though.</p>
<p>GEEZ...now we need three offices?? I don't need this kind of pressure! I vote for the person who has been in education the longest ;)</p>
<p>(I know what you're thinking, that doesn't make for a good or informed adm. officer...and you're right. Can't shoot a guy for tryin'.)</p>
