AoA: Timely reform is untenable
Campaign finance reform for Dartmouth Board of Trustee and Association of Alumni elections is politically untenable at this time, according to a report released on Thursday by an Association committee tasked with exploring the issue. "Although the clear majority of those responding recognize that the amount of money involved in alumni trustee and AoA executive committee campaigning in recent elections raises serious issues worthy of attention, the Dartmouth alumni community is significantly divided over whether anything can or should be done about it through the medium of changed election rules or guidelines," the report states. The report the result of several months of research and analysis comes after a series of elections that have been increasingly contentious and expensive.
