The right kind of trustees
ACTA president Anne D. Neal has published an op-ed in the DC Examiner in which she looks at the recent decision by the Dartmouth Board of Trustees not to reappoint the outspoken Todd Zywicki for a second term. She concludes that in spite of the potential negative repercussions, trustees must raise problems and ask the tough questions that need to be asked. As she writes:
The academy's runaway costs, diffuse curricula, and disconnect from the public's concerns have everything to do with the go-along-get-along mindset that prevails on governing boards. That mindset must change.
