Doubletalk statement of the day!

We’ve told you that Greensboro College is on shaky financial ground. What if you want to talk to a faculty member about it?

Editorial: Stormy summer at GC

Here’s the doubletalk part…

One unsettling footnote: Some faculty say they have been told not to speak to reporters. A school spokeswoman has said in turn that the president would choose which faculty could speak to media.

Williams denies that such a policy exists. “None whatsoever,” he said last week. “I would never be the one to tell you who to interview.”

Williams said faculty are free to speak their minds. However, an internal memo to faculty could be interpreted otherwise. “Again,” it says in bold type at the very top, “confidentiality of sources on this and all issues is critical to protect the jobs of faculty and staff.”

Does anybody else read that in a mobster voice?
