NRO readers know well the situation on the Connecticut, where Dartmouth alumni have in the three most recent instances chosen outsider petition candidates to sit on their Board of Trustees over the usual lot of candidates. The pessimists e-mailed me saying it couldn’t last, and they may–may!–have been correct. There is a sizeable effort underway to overhaul the constitution which underwrites Dartmouth’s alumni governance infrastructure. Not surprisingly, the proposal makes things difficult for petitioners. Like the campaigns of Peter Robinson and Todd Zywicki, opposing this gerrymandering will be largely an organic, word-of-mouth affair, but I have tried my best to get the ball rolling with a post at Dartblog.
