Concerned Stuyvesant Alumni (v2.0)

The Cliff Notes version of what has transpired is: SHSAA isolated and propelled the resignation of a member of its board who has been a substantial donor; turned down a request to meet and confer with concerned alumni; and expanded the board AND adopted the candidate slate without widespread notice. More specifically:
 * 1) 1 Supportive and engaged directors whose work has benefitted Stuyvesant have resigned from the board, apparently out of sheer frustration.
 * 2) 2 It was suggested that for a director to support Stuy through means in addition to the SHSAA (such as via direct, private donations) is somehow inconsistent with SHSAA board responsibilities. If an alumnus is a board member and the parent of a currently enrolled student, it would mean that donating directly to a club, or the Parents' Association, is somehow a breach of duties to the SHSAA.
 * 3) 3 It is unclear if a board fundraising "give or get" requirement is being enforced.
 * 4) 4 The motives and generosity of an alum shouldn't be fodder for disputes or questions about board membership. The alumni association should be operating in a way that encourages alumni to want to join the alumni association and use the alumni association as their vehicle for supporting Stuy, financially or otherwise. No one will ever give generously to an organization because they feel coerced or pressured.
