Quality Control

Dear College,

Quality Control

“Without Contraries is No Progress”

Wm Blake: Marriage of Heaven & Hell

Graham’s opening up conversation on what
it means to administer a division provokes
wonder about what constitutes healthy
habits of Organizational Being.



On the one hand: ensure every ones are
doing what they’re supposed to: students,
staff, faculty, administration.

No goldbricking. Cutting corners. Slacking.
Heading home early. Coming in late. Making
mistakes or Errors in Judgment.

Aims & Objectives

To optimize the WHOLE: educe individual &
maybe collaborative genius, encourage environ-
mental greening of local food for thought:
bumper crops, harvest gold.

Assessment:

Measure up to clearly stated job descriptions &
chains of command channeling response ability;
nail down lucid expectations in accord with
a Syllabus of the Whole, say: clear assignments,
due dates, methods of evaluation, attendance policy.
Hold my heels to fire. Who can say that isn’t a
good thing, raise your hand!

Like: Hard Balls & Mallets croquet. (HB&MC)



Can you see the analogy?




On the other hand: opposition, anti-thesis to
regulation, antagonism to consistency &
coherence: diabolically lacking in deference to
control-it, Get-R-done agenda & industrialized
measurable outcomes.

Expecting unexpected indeterminacy galore:
what does a future bring if not already
nailed down by determination and
the terms of my desire?

Like: Upside Down Flamingo & Hedgehog
Croquet (UDF&H). Can you feel the analogy?



Much failure. Little clarity. Clouds of Unknowing
Unscripted conversation: Digression, Transgression,
Trombones & Piano playing such a Hullabaloo &
Tink-a- Tank-Tunk: emerging as argument
juxtaposed against my predictable
habitatto for humania.

Accountability:

Which hand rocks
your cradle and
why and maybe
you can assess
what it costs &
how it benefits:

The Fathers of Determination on the one hand;
The Mothers of Invention on the other.

(Choose 1: no myn can serve 2 magisteries)

The Fundamentals if not the Ratios of
Quality Control, true?

Need we argue?
It's a Fine Arts & Humanities
Environmental Issue. Probably Hard &
Soft Sciences, too, if you improve my terms
and images but sustain the distinction, dichotomy,
split, schism, divided house, 2 cultures and don’t
be privileging one, or contaminate either by
measuring in the terms of the other; but
keep them like equilibrists in dynamic
and deadly lively balance: quality
control for crying out loud
it’s amazing.

Graham started this converse action:
wondering about Order in the Court.
