Letter to the Chancellor

I probably have too much free time on my hands but ... I don't like Dean Baker very much.

Chancellor Cantor,

It has come to my attention that Assistant Dean of Students Roy Baker has stated "I do not trust student leaders; it is my job to not trust student leaders." Not only am I a student leader, I am also a student/paying customer of Syracuse University and as such would like to share with you my thoughts on this matter.

I was unaware, when I decided to come here, that a portion of the thousands of dollars I spend and borrow to do so would be used to employ an administrator for the express purpose of distrusting myself and my fellow students. The last time i checked, I am an adult and am in no way required to subject myself to this sort of treatment.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns. I hope that this was a misunderstanding and not the result of any institutional policy which might cause current and future students to feel alienated by the Administration of Syracuse University.

Benjamin W. Stephens
