Dear Senator,
We are writing with our deep concern over the sale of Mills College, in Oakland, California. On November 11, 2023, the Honorable Judge Seligman, (Superior Court for the State of CA, County of Alameda) granted preliminary approval to a $1.25 million settlement for students who "claimed they were mislead, and forced to spend more on education, when the formerly all women's college merged with coed Northeastern University last year."
In light of this ruling and data documenting Mills’ solid financial standing, we believe the Mills College Board of Trustees has been misled by President Elizabeth Hillman and, in allowing this “merger” to move forward, has subsequently failed to execute its full duties.
Given that the value of Mills’ assets is estimated be in excess of $1billion, this “deal” is not an acquisition—and certainly not a merger—it is purely a gift. Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, acquired Mills for no more than the value of its debt—just over $30 million.
We ask that you join us and the City of Oakland in demanding a thorough investigation of this acquisition.
