Zywicki redux
We wrote recently on the Dartmouth College Board of Trustees' refusal to grant one of its members, Todd Zywicki, a second term. Fellow trustee Peter Robinson has now weighed in with a letter to the student newspaper. It says, in part:
Todd Zywicki asked searching questions. He insisted upon honest analysis. In a body dominated by bankers and businesspeople, he offered the insights of a professional academic. He reminded us again and again of our responsibilities to students, the faculty, alumni and the law. He proved informed, hard-working, dedicated and utterly committed to genuine debate. Mr. Zywicki proved a superb trustee -- superb.
Well put. Trustees should be commended, not canned, for asking questions and getting answers.
