ACTA's Must-Reads

Meet Stephen Smith
As dedicated readers of this blog know, ACTA has long been involved in supporting concerned alumni at Dartmouth College. Of course, we were deeply involved in the 2006 debate over a new constitution for alumni governance, and we were delighted to see the election of T.J. Rodgers (in 2004) and Peter Robinson and Todd Zywicki (in 2005) as trustees. But our involvement extends well beyond 2004: William K. Tell, Jr., a valued member of our National Council, spearheaded the creation of Dartmouth Alumni for Open Governance in the 1990s; ACTA has worked with Mr. Tell and other reformers for more than a decade.
With this backdrop, one can understand our happiness to see the new website of Stephen Smith, who is running in this year's trustee election. Smith, a law professor at the University of Virginia, comments sagely on many of the critical issues facing Dartmouth, and readers are urged to review his site. Any of our many Dartmouth friends can, if they are so inclined, find petitions to guarantee Professor Smith a slot on the ballot here.
One administrative note: Our main blogger, Erin O'Connor, is currently on her way back from New Orleans, where she, ACTA president Anne Neal, and State University of New York trustee (and ACTA advisor) Candace de Russy were on a panel at the Association of American Colleges and Universities meeting. Erin and her excellent commentary will rejoin us shortly.
