Constitution Rejected; 51.4% of Alumni Vote ‘No’

With record turnout—the highest ever achieved at Dartmouth—alumni voted to reject the undemocratic constitution. Fifty-one percent voted to reject the constitution, which was the position recommended here at Dartblog over the course of eighty posts composed between September 27, 2005 and this very day.

Further details here and here.

UPDATE: To be clear, the constitution failed by eighteen points. It required 67% to pass — a rather low threshold for constitutional overhauls and amendments — and missed that threshold by eighteen points.

Feel free to send your thoughts on what it all means. I’ll write another post anon.
