It’s not who you are, it’s what people think about you. Or so it seems for IP Folt and her crew. At a website devoted to higher education marketing, the creative director at Digital Pulp, the company that recently re-did Dartmouth’s website, describes the College’s desire to show that it was making progress, any progress, in its efforts.

One wonders how much extra expense the College incurred to rush out a “.5 release,” one that included “no substantive changes,” rather than do a good, thorough job from the start.

Needless to say, IP Folt did not see things the same way as Mr. Lewis. Here is the College’s press release:

I guess that one IP’s “rapid, positive changes” is just another man’s “no substantive changes.” But then, who’s to say who is right? It’s all perception, really. Isn’t it?

Addendum: Every time that Carol lies, exaggerates, obfuscates or distorts the truth, there are people out there who know without doubt what she is doing. Those people will think differently about Dartmouth forevermore, and they pass on their perceptions to ever more people. Take a few such incidents per month, and a process begins that leads the College into disrepute. It has been going on for a good while now.
