College of DuPage board votes to censure trustee | mySuburbanLife.com\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nI note at least two instances in the linked articles where Ms Hamilton told her Board colleagues one thing and then went out in public and told a very different story (E.g., praising Ms Birt’s “phenomenal work” in negotiating the Breuder buyout down, and then using\/engineering public frustration with the deal to gain herself the Board Chair). \u00a0And of course the mailing at the top is about\u00a0her claiming in public to value “transparency,”\u00a0 but then withholding basic information from her colleagues.<\/p>\n
It seems to me that saying one thing to your colleagues and the opposite in public might not be the best way to build trust and a good working relationship, to get good things done for the school and the community. \u00a0But, sadly, it can be effective politics.<\/p>\n
Perhaps not coincidentally, I notice someone has been polishing up a very complimentary Wikipedia page about Ms.\u00a0Hamilton<\/a>, replete with references to such balanced, non-ideological sources as the Forbes magazine and the Washington Times. \u00a0According to this she’s quite the hero. \u00a0I wonder if\u00a0she’ll run for higher office.<\/p>\n

I wanted to share this mailing from Kim Savage, former CoD Trustee, who sent this around last week:<\/p>\n
