In my last update, I noted that the Co-op would be scaling back its operations at the end of the Spring semester at Earlham. The Board and staff have since met to talk more about what that scaling back will look like, and we’d like to pass along information about this new direction and some new opportunities:

We have several updates to report on related to planning around the future of the Co-op:
Last week, I met with members of Earlham College’s administrative faculty to discuss the proposals the Co-op had put forth to the College regarding its future on campus. The bottom-line conclusion from this conversation was that the College would do all that it can to remove any barriers to the Co-op’s success in its current location, but that it is also limited in what it can do to support a private business on campus. We appreciated that Earlham took the time to consider our requests, and we think we have a good understanding of the constraints they face.
