<p>Excerpt from Association of Alumni statement:</p>
<p>“An Administrative email sent today to faculty and especially to students has suggested their school is under siege by a handful of misguided alumni. In one to three years, these students become alumni for life. The Association response, a last resort done with considerable reluctance and deliberation, is intended to secure for those students, and for all alumni, the continuation of a life-long right (and moral obligation) to participate in defining what they collectively think best for their, for our, beloved Dartmouth.”</p>
<p>“handful of misguided alumni” hmmm… </p>
<p>Would that be a more appropriate characterization of the 69,000 members of the Association of Alumni - all living alumni - all of whom have a vote in alumni elections…</p>
<p>or </p>
<p>… the 12 majority board members with the chairman and his select committee front and center who act despite knowing that the “overwhelming” percentage of alumni do not support their actions and who are seeking to control all things Dartmouth without any oversight or checks and balances?</p>
