Vermont won't be like Boston because of a dozen remote workers. The University does much more to "Jersey" or "Masshole" Vermont, and that doesn't even do much.

Agreed about the impact of 30 people being negligible (and some of them will probably be people who are from VT and want to move back but need a little extra incentive to kick off the process) That said, the fact that they're looking to import talent instead of retain local talent is what annoys me. There's plenty of STEM grads who don't want to leave northern New England but feel forced to in order to make money.

Totally - I always felt frustrated and even shocked there wasn't any organized/concerted effort to do so!
