I debated about posting this at all, as I was pretty sure that there would be those who would nitpick and be unhappy, no matter what SAE did. They truly are in a no-win situation. If they did nothing, they would be criticized for that. If they hired someone from within, they would be criticized for that. If they hired someone from without, they would be criticized for that.
I will admit I did not anticipate their director being criticized for being too young. But, I'm sure had they hired someone who was an older person, they would have been criticized for that, also.

Sometimes, I hate being right.

eta - While changing the hearts and minds of alumni is a noble aspiration, the fact is that it is the actives over which SAE HQ has the most sway with, and ultimately, it is where the most positive change can occur. After all, it is where the problems were discovered. Alumni may or may not be involved with their fraternity; actives have no choice, if they wish to remain active. Also, I agree "proactive" was the wrong word; I meant "active" .
