New College Independent Alumni/ae Association

While the New College website is currently recruiting for its Spring 2008 programs — including defunct programs on the recently closed Santa Rosa campus — the San Francisco Bay Guardian today has a story about the nightmare taking place right now for students in San Francisco, who’ve had to drop out due to bouncing financial aid checks. We think it’s about time the New College board of trustees leveled with students, alumni, faculty, and the public at large. If the school is dying, as the Guardian article suggests, it is unconscionable that the trustees would allow students to register. The fact the trustees of this so-called progressive institution have mostly been in hiding since summer, reveals both their lack of ethical standards as well as their collective cowardice.
