David Cole Community Quotations

Parrish is rich in history. Part of the goal in creating a new community center is to have a shared history, so that everyone can feel a part of that story . . . it will be a place where everyone can come together.

What they're really looking at is the long-term implications of this. In the past, there was a decidedly short-term mentality, and basically what (GM) would say is we'll settle so we can meet our quarterly profit projections. That's different today. The financial community is concerned about the short-term return?but what they're focused on is the long-term profitability.

Details are still being worked out, but the point is that we're turning this disappointing situation into a positive new program that will benefit Rutgers as a whole. We hope that by setting up a committee of members of the University community who would interview potential nominees for the Rutgers Board of Governors and advise the governor on which candidates are most friendly to Rutgers, we can encourage greater communication between the state and Rutgers.

The environmental community has never been driven by economics.

A community center is only in the long run a tool for being the center of the community.
