...March, Northwest revised its January proposal and offered a complex package of debentures, preferred stock and warrants, then worth about $75, for a share of Goodrich ($50). Keener, who dismissed what he called a "funny money" offer, had assembled a potent band of allies.

They only state laws restricting the Governing Boards apply to the Overseers--only alumni can vote, but faculty and administrative officers cannot vote for or serve on the Board.
