So when those officials were looking for a way to counter the HRAAA campaign, they turned to the Alumni Association, the organization which nominates the University's "official" slate of overseer candidates.
"I don't think [HRAAA supporters] know what an overseer is supposed to do," says Egan. "They have not demonstrated any awareness of, or interest in, the problems that face the University."
And University officials like Glimp maintain that it is important for the Alumni Association to inform alumni about the overseer elections because HRAAA takes advantage of low turnout in Board elections to push through its agenda.
Not surprisingly, such rhetoric from the University and the Alumni Association has angered HRAAA officials. Although they say they welcome campaigning from any side in the overseer elections, they say it is unethical to turn the Alumni Association itself into a partisan body.
But regardless of the outcome of this year's campaign, most observers say there are no signs that the political fighting will slow down next year. Just how this campaigning will affect future overseer elections, however, is still uncertain.
