Mathias's unity slate won the race for the Association of Alumni executive committee. Mathias took home 73 percent of the vote to J. Michael Murphey's, Class if 1961, 27 percent.
Your servants at Little Green Blog would like to congratulate John Replogle, Mort Kondracke, John Mathias and the other officers.

And after Kondracke and Replogle won the alumni nomination, the Trustees voted to elect them to the Board, upholding the 1891 Agreement.

ReplyDeleteThere's a lot more to the 1891 agreement than that. But factually, yes, you are correct.

(Also... this "anonymous" stuff is frustrating. Can't we require commenters to sign in or identify themselves?)
The election results were heavily influenced by having a new president and the continued overhang of the alumni lawsuit. How about some LGB observations on the stories not covered by the D... the role of the Office of Alumni Relations, the role of the Alumni Council, college support for the councilors campaigning for their candidates, the role of Dartmouth UnDying, who are their principals and where did their money come from (any trustees?), the conflicts of interest of ballot committee members, and so on.

ReplyDeleteAre you sure? I thought the board agreed to elect the nominee if he was suitable and was put forward within a certain number of months of the vacancy.

ReplyDeleteI can't say I follow your question. That is the agreement, but technically the board has the choice -- depending, I suppose, on your legal interpretation of the 1891 agreement and the existence of a binding contract between the then-unincorporated Alumni Association and the Board.
But I don't think that's what you're getting at. So... well, what are you getting at?
