Message: [QUOTE="Carl S. Ey, post: 1354145, member: 6325"] Read the transition/distribution plan carefully. Nothing in the president's letter is untrue as of the date of the letter. The loop holes in the plan are wide enough to drive the husky team bus through. After the Alumni Assoc is dissolved, what happens then? The employees from the AA have already moved over to the Foundation but when the university decides to move in a different direction with the money, assets etc., who is gonna stop them? Use a discerning eye on the Distribution Plan - look for terms like "generally," and "not limited to," which are there to give the university leeway/control after dissolution has taken place. Yes, the AA 501C3 is going away and yes, staff members in the Foundation will conduct alumni relations/operations but besides the three appointed alumni advisory committee (with no guarantee it will be around for any length of time), which alums will speak up if six months or a year from now if the university decides that they "generally" honored the allocation of funds but still have a couple of million left to do_______. Or what happens when the Alumni Center is no longer worth maintaining, do we get a 2015/2016 version of a new Alumni Center or does the university "generally" give us a an office somewhere on campus and an 800#?
