And here come the reactions to the plan put together to upgrade the campus.
“I’m so mad at [University President Richard L.] McCormick that I cancelled my pledge to the University because of the arrogance of the plan,” said city resident Nancy Beardsly, a clergywoman at the New Brunswick Theological Seminary. “If there had been any kind of input [from students and residents], that’d be different.”
The University’s greening plan – which would eliminate automobile traffic on Easton Avenue between Alexander Library and Bishop Street – will make it more difficult to reach the seminary by automobile, Beardsly said.
