Frustrated with what they consider to be a lack of transparency from Whitman College amid budget cuts, a labor group representing faculty has started a fundraiser to pay for an independent analysis of the school’s finances. Spearheaded by Matthew Reynolds, associate professor of art history and visual culture studies, the Whitman College chapter of the American Association of University Professors is raising $5,000 to pay for the external review. “Why? We need a clearer picture,” Reynolds wrote in a GoFundMe that went live on Friday, Dec. 3.
