Brown University Board of Trustees Curiously Silent Following Murders on Campus
“The board conducts regular reviews of the university president, and has authority over the president’s employment.”
You would think these folks would be at the ready with a statement. It’s so weird that they are not.

Billionaire trustees stay silent as Brown University faces mounting campus murder fallout
Brown University’s board of trustees, which features a top bank CEO, billionaires, hedge fund and banking leaders, authors, professors, actresses and scientists, has remained silent after the campus murders that took place earlier this month.
While the primary duty of the board is to uphold the fiduciary duty of the Ivy League university and does not oversee day-to-day operations, the group is the highest governing body of the school, is responsible for appointing and evaluating the president of the college and approves strategic long-term strategy and planning for the top college.
The board conducts regular reviews of the university president, and has authority over the president’s employment.
Trustees include prominent Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, who serves as the chancellor of the board, Goldman Sachs Chairman of Asset Management Division Rich Friedman, author and Stripe COO Claire Hughes Johnson, Global Head of Blackstone Multi-Asset Investing Joe Dowling, actress Margaret Munzer, former U.S. Rep. David Cicilline, Boston Legacy Football Club’s Ami Kuan Danoff, and other banking leaders and billionaires.
Fox News Digital reached out to every trustee on the board, but did not receive any responses.
Brown University President Christina Paxson has faced intense criticism for the university’s handling of both equipping the school with security resources to prevent the shooting, and campus police’s inability to apprehend the killer in the aftermath of the murders.
Earlier this month, a lone gunman, whom police identified as Portuguese national Claudio Neves-Valente, canvassed the campus prior to taking the lives of two Brown University students on Dec. 13. Investigators credit a homeless man who was living on campus with being a primary source in identifying and ultimately locating the alleged shooter.

Brown has trustees? Who knew and considering who they picked to lead their university who cares!
“Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”
“To the curious incident of the Brahmins in the crisis-time.”
“The Brahmins did nothing in the crisis-time.”
“That was the curious incident,” remarked Sherlock Holmes.
Higher Ed is reaping what it has sown… DEI after DEI appointed feckless weak Presidents…that let the inmates run the prisons or mental patients run the asylums.. who make bad institutional business decisions and devalue their institutions by promoting social re-engineering and social justice welfare programs… Time to overhaul the whole system… strip them of their non-profit statuses – force them to operate like profit centers – and measure them on the outcomes of their graduates. Enough coddling. Force them to run merit based institutions that provide a safe and free leaning environment. No more indoctrination – reinstitute diversity of thought, critical thinking and the pursuit of true intellectual and academic freedom.
The adverb “curiously” is superfluous in this headline.
There’s a reason that Brown didn’t cooperate. And they all know. And someone had to be dumb enough to put it in an email or text. I really hope it gets found during the DOJ investigation.
