This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

BoT members ought to be called Eloi by nd71
They live banal lives of ease on the surface of ND's largesse which they really had little to nothing to do with its accumulation, while we the unwashed alums and sub-alums live below them, tending our jobs and families, scrimping and saving to send them our kids and treasure as ND's "legacies."
Gag me with a spoon. It's a totally effed up school-alum relationship.
In any event, the BoF is where the power is at; and, the CSC owns it and its non-collared types in toto.
A C4C letter in response would be so last century. Not even whale pressure points exist anymore.
Our sole remaining leverage is to withhold our children and to do so actively and openly over many years until it hurts them and it.
It's that existential IMO.
