Smith: "Unprecedented Assault on our Alumni"

Stephen Smith '88, recently elected trustee, wrote an opinion article today in The Dartmouth about the trustees plan to examine "governance," i.e. prevent people like Stephen Smith from winning elections. Smith attacks the administration for being a "spin machine" against him, and he alleges that it considerably outspent him during this election. Smith attacks attempts to change the system, saying that elections are ultimately divisive because "it is democracy, pure and simple."
