New College Independent Alumni/ae Association

Complaints regarding the mismanagement of finacial aid money and other funds at 

New College of California can be brought to the attention of the Office of 

Charitable Trusts.  Since NCOC was/is a non-profit it falls under the 

jurisdiction of the Sate Attorney General’s Office. Complaints can be made 

anonymously and should contain as much verfiable information as available. 

Complaints have already been lodged against each of the past members of Board of 

Trustees and Administration for their role in the mismanagement of the school 

and the misuse of federal financial aid money intended for students and used to 

cover operating expenses at the school.

All complaints must include a cover page that can be downloaded here:

More information about the process can be found here:

Alumni/ae may also consider initiating a class action lawsuit to gain control 

of the remaining property owned by NCOC and to avoid having that property sold 

to pay off debts incurred by Hamilton, Gabel, and the Board.  If we choose to, 

we can push the issue and fight to have each of these people held personally 

responsible for the debt rather than have the remains of the College auctioned 

off to pay for their unscrupulous behavior.
