Vigilance

Who will guard the guards themselves?
(quis custodiet ipsos custodes?)
Juvenal, Satires
Roman poet & satirist (55 AD - 127 AD)

Sheldon Jackson College is well beyond the verge of collapse. At this time, the possibilities for desperate acts, corruption, and greed are at their highest. The custodians of Sheldon Jackson - technically the Board of Trustees - have never been more susceptible to making bad decisions.

We must be vigilant. What's at stake: The land - hundreds of acres of prime real estate entrusted to Sheldon Jackson for educational purposes; The history - one of a kind Merril prints, donated art, decades of records; The promises - severance and annual leave, reimbursements, teach out plans, etc.

Stay connected, stay informed.
