invention, and the process of considering them should have a significant educational role in itself.
Action Item B.1.1 – Initiate a study of these questions and produce an integrated report on how to reduce or eliminate the pressure of monetary quotas on land yield and how to extend the educational opportunities thus opened throughout community and curriculum. This report should represent a qualitative educational appraisal of the College lands and should confirm or revise our educational land use objectives.

• B.2 - Sharing Our Land With the Public Problem: Opening College Land Resources to the Public Risks Disruption The most obvious and potentially troublesome example of this is public access to the river corridor and trails. The splendid amenity of the Swannanoa River is balanced by its attractiveness to the public, including some who represent nuisance and even danger. In reaching decisions about allowing access and providing accommodation to the public on campus lands the College must weigh considerations of civic opportunity and neighborliness against potential division and disturbance of its lands, and factors of safety and liability. Whatever the direction of future decisions it will be necessary to apply careful planning to the minimization and management of the risk of disruption.
Action Item B.2.1 – Adopt standards regarding public access to College lands that can be applied in evaluating and managing such access for minimal disruption. Include criteria for parking, pathway amenity, accessibility, safety and security of guests and community members, evaluation of liability and any desirable conditional requirements for maintaining such access.
Pattern Language: Community Participation (ADPL5) Problem: The Possibility of a Greenway Connection Through Campus Land Poses Risk First, it should not be assumed that a proposed greenway must follow the Swannanoa River through campus; while this seems a likely eventuality, there are other possible routes for a greenway which may be suggested by planners or proposed by the College in its own interest.
