25 yrs of non profit experience
Your last line [referring to Founder’s response to Tantillo’s 3/29/07 email] email of could lead to a gem, on the difference between “insulation” and “isolation”, which apparently the Hill Maximum Powers either could not grasp (lazy) or chose not to take the time (indifferent, distracted).
I did vote for alternative Trustees last year and again this year. Hamilton is no longer in my will, the bequest a pittance compared to some alumni, but enough to endow organ upkeep in the Chapel in perpetuity.
I am CEO of 7 non-profits I have founded … with a combined bottom line of around $300 million, operating in 56 countries. Your founding documents the AHC relative to HC, especially as amended, should have been accepted, at least as I have come to understand non-profit governance models after 25 years in this business.
Ward Churchill did little to destroy my affections for Hamilton; my love affair with the Hill disappeared several years earlier. hitting bottom during G. Tobin’s presidency. Eloquent as he could be, Tobin once wrote about diversity and his goal of making Hamilton a welcoming place even for evangelical Christians.
Talk about trustees failing to hold fast to Founder’s Vision (Carver Board model)! How things have changed from when I was President of Canterbury Club (back when being an Episcopalian did not embrace gay marriages), we did a bunch of on-campus performance events to promote links between faith and the arts … and were roundly welcomed with full houses for addresses, music events and some great Charlatans work.
I am sorry to see AHC’s demise … but understand the costs of fighting such battles, including weaking your first love of academic researching and teaching. Such battles are enervating, devastating and usually overwhelming.
THANK YOU for fighting them for us.
Best from London,
