Is this a joke? "Page Six revealed that the blunder happened as alumni were encouraged to reach out to families that may have not succeeded in their applications, to increase donations.." You reject my DC then hit me up for $$? The audacity is astonishing. What, I get to have the amazing experience of being lucky enough to donate to dalton despite my dc not attending?

If they were alums then they would have been already programmed into a giving program, no need for anything new, also if sibs were thtere.

I used to work in crisis management, and I don't think this is going to cut it. That said, I have no horse in the race and it's not interesting enough to me to try to think what I would recommend.

I think it was not meant that way. NY Post spin is too much.

no, i think it was meant that way and that's why someone was brave enough to leak it. i think babby/ellen are doing a spin job today trying to make it sound like the NYP is the one doing the spinning. i know dalton alums and trust me, this is the development office's MO. people are growing disgusted.

former crisis manager mom here - this landscape is already primed against them. They are up against a lot. If they think this letter is going to "fix" it, then think again..

I agree, there has not been enough acceptance/remorse over Dalton's lack of judgement.

WRONG. Dalton has a policy of not soliciting donations from families during the admissions process. The purpose of the memo was to inform the alumni committee about whom NOT to solicit at this time. Dalton blooped and NY Post misinterpreted.

No one believes that. The admission process for the rejects was over. The purpose was to smooth over rough feelings with alum/sibling parents.

why are they exempt? these private schools are hungry for money. can't imagine why 40k can't educate a child? there are many countries like finland, china, india, who provides top quality kids for much less. it's a money pissing competition
