Steven Scalet Quotations

It's hard to be absolutist. I think the American experience is different than the European experience.

The PPL program has missed Professor Arthur's guidance. Many students over the course of this semester have approached us to express their wishes for his recovery. Students have also expressed their hope to take a course from him next year. The strong and supportive student response is a testament to Professor Arthur's dedication and work as a teacher and advisor to so many students.

The PPL faculty have also missed Professor Arthur's presence and participation in the department.

I'm not anticipating a problem. It seems like everyone's cooperating. It'll be made to work out one way or the other.

The fall semester is still a long way off though, so Professor Arthur will not be fully deciding about his return until the summer. However, he is enthusiastic and hopeful.

Fortunately for the department, however, Professor Arthur has attended some events as he's been able. He still participates in a faculty reading group, has attended some talks and meetings and continues to keep up with his e-mails.
