TIMELINE OF MAJOR EVENTS:

This appendix summarizes the principal events described throughout this book in chronological order. The timeline illustrates how a series of public decisions made over more than eighty years gradually produced the SRQ–New College controversy.

Viewed individually, many of these events appeared routine or unrelated. Viewed together, they reveal how changing institutional priorities, evolving federal airport policy, and changing circumstances ultimately created both the controversy and, later, an opportunity to resolve it.

The timeline is intended as a convenient reference for readers and should be read together with
the more detailed discussion contained in the chapters of this book.
