Dartmouth alumni have been trying to restore parity to the College’s Board of Trustees since the 2007 coup led by Charles Haldeman and his liberal cronies in response to resurgent conservative victories in recent Trustee elections.
Recently, the Grafton County Superior Court dismissed the alumni lawsuit that had been filed to invalidate the Haldeman take-over. The plaintiffs are now appealing to the NH Supreme Court to overturn the decision.
It seems unlikely, however, that the appeal will succeed. The NH high court is stuffed 4-1 with Lynch appointees, all undoubtedly liberal and beholden to the left.
The decision to affirm the Grafton court decision will most likely end up 4-1 with possibly Chief Justice Broderick the only dissenting vote. This will end effectively end any possibility of restoring Dartmouth’s long-standing position as the only educational institution that gave its alumni real governance power through democratic elections.
The College is already in deep financial trouble with its liberal administration spending away to glory with literally no accountability to anyone or oversight by any effective body. With the Board of Trustees firmly in leftist hands, any hope of responsible fiscal management at the College will be finished. Dartmouth’s decline to 2nd tier status has already begun.
Just ask the professors and top students literally fleeing to other colleges.
