The New York Times: Some Trustees Challenge Polytechnic-N.Y.U. Merger
New York University’s ambitious plan to merge with Polytechnic University in Brooklyn and acquire an engineering school is suddenly facing a rebellion from Polytechnic alumni and trustees on the eve of a final board vote.
In a letter to the board seeking to delay the vote, several trustees said Polytechnic’s administration had still not revealed all the details of the deal and was trying to railroad it through without sufficiently examining alternatives. They also said some board members might personally benefit from the deal, and so would have conflicts of interest in voting on it.
