Oberlin College's new president faces budget, enrollment challenges - Karen Farkas, Cleveland.com
When Oberlin College President Carmen Twillie Ambar arrived on campus last September she was met with a warm welcome and numerous challenges. The nationally-recognized private liberal arts college faces enrollment and budget problems that have led to an extensive evaluation of its resources and programs. "There are challenging things to do," Ambar said in a recent interview. "My little joke about this is that there is always a sunrise on a college campus but never a sunset. It is much more difficult to think about what we can no longer do." Ambar said everyone on campus has to be an institutionalist, placing an emphasis on the college at the expense of individuals.
