New College Independent Alumni/ae Association

There appears to be some local media interest in the Brazilian connection at New College, and we suspect this thread might yield some leads if not results in providing the full accounting we demanded of the trustees back in July. Knowing from experience that criminal cover-ups often unravel in unexpected, sometimes fortuitous ways, we welcome anyone looking into this and other matters that might account for the cronyism and nepotism cited in the official WASC reports last spring. While there may and may not be money-laundering involved in the New College deal with the university in Brazil, given former president Hamilton’s already documented propensity to encourage bribes from foreign students in exchange for falsifying student records used to deceive the Immigration and Naturalization Service, following this thread seems like a good idea.

Many have asked how it was that a vice president from a Brazilian university — who was also a friend of the now disgraced former president Hamilton — was hired to become Chief Financial Officer for the school after it was threatened with loss of accreditation for financial mismanagement by Hamilton. Some have suggested it was one way of keeping Hamilton’s secrets secret.

Whatever the answer, I’m sure there is plenty of explaining to do, and after all, that’s why we started this association in the first place.
