Board of Trustees
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
110 Eighth Street
Troy, New York
2 April 2016
Members of the Board,
Since 1890, the student-run Rensselaer Union has been the heart of our campus community.
The unique opportunities it provides have been invaluable to our development as students,
professionals, and individuals. We write today as concerned alumni and former student leaders
determined to ensure that these opportunities remain available to future generations.
We find no ambiguity in the Union Constitution’s support of Rensselaer’s rich tradition of
independent student governance. Students are explicitly given the right and responsibility to
fund and manage activities, facilities, and employees. They are granted the opportunity to be
agents of change by collaborating with peers and professionals. Through their independence,
students are empowered and inspired to take an active role in the Rensselaer community as
stakeholders in our collective future.
An independent Union gives students the irreplaceable opportunity to learn by doing, growing
as leaders through their achievements and mistakes. Each generation of student leaders builds
on the foundation and the lessons of its predecessors and the institutional knowledge of
student-hired administrative staff. This accumulation of wisdom, over many decades of
annually-elected leadership, allows the Union to grow stronger.
Every change to the Constitution has been passed by the Student Senate, ratified by a vote
of the student body, and approved by the Board of Trustees. This democratic process is
built on trust and cooperation across the entire Rensselaer community. Unilateral action by
any party—students, administrators, or trustees—to amend or alter the Constitution without
honoring this process would undermine the integrity of our institution and our community.
We are united in the belief that these traditions of student leadership are fundamental to the
success of Rensselaer. We support the current Constitution and the established democratic
process. We urge you to reaffirm your commitment to the Union’s self-governance, and
work with the students to rebuild the trust so essential to the success of our community and
our school.
Respectfully,
The undersigned alumni
