What Brody's left behind
We are glad that Brody has shown an interest in reducing the University's footprint on the environment. However, we want to see the administration collaborate more with students and take more concrete steps towards becoming more environmentally friendly. Hopkins must recognize that environmental sustainability is a long-term, constantly evolving project, and one that is easily stymied by bureaucratic gridlock. Outsourcing the work of reducing our carbon footprint to aloof administrative committees will not do. The University must articulate far-reaching goals, and build a broad coalition of student support to achieve them.
Brody has done much in his 12 years at Hopkins; he is clearly capable of mobilizing different groups of people and convincing them of what must be accomplished for the sake of the University.
This page hopes that through the end of his term in December, Brody will reflect on what he has not yet accomplished and use all of the skills and resources at his disposal to ensure that his legacy is one of which we can all be proud. Brody may entering the twilight of his career, but he now has a rare opportunity to help shape the University's overarching priorities in the years to come. We hope he takes it.
