[edit] Executive Director

As of this coming fall, the position of Executive Director is being co-chaired by Vicki Barton, Director of Residential Life, and Dr. David Williams, Director of Academic Life. They will be co-chairing the position for the coming school year, until a candidate search is complete for a proper replacement for the position. --Martin Osterman 14:08, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question of Suicides

With respect to Academy students both past and present, the issue of suicides being discussed on the main page has been taken down for the moment until sources can be brought forth backing the topic of suicides at the Academy. I should point out, as a member of the Academy's 2001 graduating class, that I had heard rumors only of suicides taking place, but nothing has been made "official" since I started attending in the fall of 1999. I still keep an ear on the Academy and nothing on the topic has been broached (and no current events of this nature have occurred) in the past six years.

As soon as sources are brought forward that support the position previously mentioned (that the Academy has a sucicide rate 25% higher than other schools, etc.), I will gladly support mention of this topic on the main page. --Martin Osterman 16:32, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

I fully support the above statement. While suicides are a common topic of discussion across some/many classes, and might be worth mentioning, firm statements such as "25%" definitely need to be double-checked and sources cited before they're included. --Interiot 18:02, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
