While Shaw Israel Izikson speaks for some alumni in his dismay at his perceived lack of transparency in Marlboro College's merger process, he by no means represents all alumni.
I am active on a few different alumni forums, and there are just as many folks expressing support and well-wishes for the college.
Is this an ideal outcome? Certainly not, and I suspect any of us would have wished Marlboro could survive as a fully independent institution.
Were people surprised? I, for one, did not realize the months of talk about seeking a “strategic partner” meant merger, so yes.
