Apparently, at Dartmouth, the alumni elect half of the college’s trustees. There is a group called Dartmouth Undying trying to end that by electing its supports to the board, and some claim they’re not playing fair:

The latest twist in the Dartmouth Association of Alumni election process is that the pro-Board-Packing slate is paying Dartmouth students to call alumni on its behalf.

Those are the words of Todd Zywicki, who is “a law professor at George Mason University [and] one of the trustees elected to the Dartmouth board by the alumni. His election, and that of several other independent-minded candidates, has spurred the Dartmouth power structure to try, effectively, to cut the alumni out of the governance process by substantially reducing the percentage of trustees alums can elect.”
