Two Questions
My friend Paul Mirengoff writes:
TWO QUESTIONS FOR OUR DARTMOUTH READERSAs the election for executive positions on the Dartmouth Association of Alumni draws to a close, we on Parity Slate have received two disturbing reports. First, a few alums have said they did not receive ballots. When one of them inquired about this, the college informed him that he has been classified as “not interested” in receiving it.
Second, some alumni say they have received mail from the “Dartmouth Undying” slate, but not from Dartmouth Parity. If this is true, it presumably means that our rival slate is using the official Dartmouth mailing list. Our slate does not have access to this list.
To get a better handle on these concerns, I’m asking our Dartmouth readers to inform us (1) if you have not received a ballot or (2) if you have received Dartmouth Undying mail but not Dartmouth Parity mail (note that the letter sent by the trustees is not Dartmouth Undying mail even though it advocated on behalf of that slate).
Our email address is powerlinefeedback@gmail.com.
Thanks.

Fare Thee Well, Tom Crady

Kangaroo Court, Indeed
In an interview with The Dartmouth, alumni-elected trustee T.J. Rodgers ‘70 explained his reasons for declining to participate in future evaluations of trustees up for “re-election,” namely the “kangaroo court” nature of such discussion in…
