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.

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.

4. Co-op Board Meeting this Tuesday, April 14th
Today’s issue of The Earlham Word features an article about the uncertain future of the Clear Creek Food Co-op, including notes from our recent open meeting:
Clear Creek Co-op, the small food cooperative that provides, among other things, an alternative meal plan for Earlham students, may no longer be a fixture of campus next year.
At a recent open meeting, students, faculty and Richmond community members discussed the possibilities open to the co-op. According to Jon Flory Schrock, co-manager of the co-op, these possibilities range from closing completely to scaling back to a smaller presence in the space they now occupy to moving downtown or into a college house.
