In late May, the Marlboro College Board of Trustees announced the sale of the campus in Marlboro to Democracy Builders, a charter school incubator.
This transaction may be finalized in mid-June unless Attorney General T. J. Donovan intervenes; the sale of the campus is necessary to complete the closure of this small Vermont college.
All assets, archives, and its valuable collections will be dispersed despite alumni opposition and donor intent.
Faculty emeriti, alumni, neighbors, and supporters of the college immediately spoke out in opposition and were swiftly silenced, while Town Meeting remained devoid of discussions regarding the future of the college, contrary to a community defined by self-governance, open dialogue, and equal voice.
