Article tone

edit

I know very little about Tschetter, but much of this article reads like a campaign brochure, examples being:

In an interview with Drew Houff of the Winchester Star in March 2008, Tschetter said that representing the Peace Corps is an honor.[7] "It’s the best job in Washington — I report directly to the president"

and

"We lucked out. India was more different than any of them," says Tschetter. "Wow, what a country."[3] Over the years the Tschetters have returned to India five times to visit their friends.

I disagree with your characterization that "much of this article reads like a campaign brochure"

edit

"much of this article reads like a campaign brochure"??

I wouldn't say "much". I would say two sentences or about 5% of the article. Those two sentences highlight the fact that Tschetter is a returned volunteer - something that has been a point of major contention in the Peace Corps for the past thirty years when most directors had not served as Peace Corps volunteers.

The rest of the article takes a critical look at the the goals Tschetter has set for for agency in recruiting older volunteers, the way the Peace Corps handled the murder of a volunteer in the Philippines, the budget shortfall at the Peace Corps, and the "spy" allegations and withdrawal of volunteers from Bolivia.

Tchetter is from South Dakota, not North Dakota, so this needs to be changed - unless there's any information suggesting that he lives in ND right now--134.129.9.146 (talk) 21:23, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
