This is the New Wesleyan with really high SAT scores and really, really concerned students. Who cares about literary history and proofreading. They are useless artifacts of a less enlightened age.

If these authors and readers truly value the Press, they should be able to come up with the $150,000 to keep it going. Why isn't the Wesleyan Press going to its subscriber and author base to keep afloat in these times? If the writers and readers who have directly benefited from the Wesleyan Press are not willing to make up the deficit, why should Wesleyan's alumni and other donors do so? Times have changed. Suzanna Tamminen should recognize this and look for other funding. Over the years, the Wesleyan Press has helped hundreds of writers, and brought their work to thousands of readers.
