Comments on: Four alumni elected to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Board of Trustees /news/2016/05/19/four-alumni-elected-to-bates-college-board-of-trustees/ Mon, 01 Jul 2024 18:48:54 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: eric weinberger '89 /news/2016/05/19/four-alumni-elected-to-bates-college-board-of-trustees/#comment-262948 Fri, 20 May 2016 16:58:00 +0000 /news/?p=101389#comment-262948 Nothing against any of these fine men and women, but I would be wary of stacking a college board with people mainly in financial services or business: which all four of these new appointees seem to be. Look at long-held and deep criticism of Dartmouth’s board for what this can result in. They don’t view the academic enterprise the same way as would a PhD or lifelong professor (which can, of course, include former or current provosts, deans or presidents), and it’s surprising for a liberal arts college not to include, among four, at least one.
(Not a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumnus but married to one – don’t know why it says ’89 below)
