The Creation of a Policy

In the beginning was the Plan;
And then came the Assumptions;
And the Assumptions were without Form;
And the Plan was completely without Substance;
And Darkness cane upon the faces of the Faculty,
And so they spoke unto their Department Heads, saying,,
"It is a Crock of S#@T, and it Stinketh!"
And the Department Heads sought out their Deans,
And spoke softly, saying,
"It is a Container of Excrement, and Verily, it is most Strong,
Such that none here may abide it."
And the Deans went before the Provost, bowing low, and crying,
"It is a Vessel of Fertilizer, such that None may abide its Strength."
And the Provost stood before the President,
On bended Knee, wailing,
"It contains that which aideth the Growth of Plants,
and it is very strong."
And the President went in unto the trustees and humbly said,
"This powerful Plan will augment our Building Fund,
That all may Glorify the Wisdom of this Board."
And the Trustee looked upon the Plan and saw that it was Good,
And in this manner did the Plan become Policy.
