Quote 1:“One of the many things that I did learn in the investigative process was that university clocks move at different speeds in different parts of a university.”
response: As I read this sentence, I thought the author was saying that clocks in different locations in the University move differently than the rest but as I kept reading and seen this quote “ The clock goes very slowly in the Herbarium. If a botanist wants to borrow some specimens from Michigan, he or she needs to agree to keep them for at least two years, and may actually keep them for decades.” It still had me a lil confused but now I understand a lil more.
Quote 2: A DC uses its participatory mechanisms to manage the operations of the DC and to promote (usually) recruitment, change, growth, and development, and to orchestrate (rarely) retrenchment and demise.
Response: Reading this sentence reminded me from my macroeconomics class. Like how a business operates and persuade their customers to buy their stocks/items. And how some business need to evolve, change the way how they function in order for their business to grow.
