Following the release of formal letters from the collective Northern Vermont University Faculty Assemblies, both Alumni Councils on the respective campuses have released a joint formal letter announcing their own vote of “No Confidence” in Vermont State College System (VSCS) Chancellor Jeb Spaulding and the Board of Trustees should they support Spaulding’s proposal. Both votes were unanimous in the respective councils.
NVU LYNDON & JOHNSON ALUMNI COUNCIL
The NVU-Lyndon Alumni Council met Friday night at 7:30 PM regarding a vote. First, the council heard from their student, faculty, and staff representatives on the emotions and opinions of the demographics they were representing. The vote very quickly, unanimously followed.
The NVU-Johnson Alumni Council met this past Saturday night at 6:00 PM with a similar procedure.
“Now more than ever, we all need to remind ourselves of the purpose of higher education opportunities that have been afforded to Vermont students, students from other states and countries, as well as the overall benefit of each community that serves and supports each institution.”
