Students at Burlington College voiced frustration and outrage last week over the recent dismissal of a popular literature professor, prompting an emergency meeting of the college’s Board of Trustees.

At Friday’s marathon, five-hour session, students demanded that the board implement significant policy reforms, including the adoption of a formal grievance policy for faculty and staff and more checks and balances on the college’s president. They also requested partial tuition reimbursement for students whose classes were disrupted by the dismissal of the professor, Genese Grill.

The meeting, most of which was conducted behind closed doors, brought to a boil a controversy that’s been simmering for months at the tiny liberal-arts college overlooking Lake Champlain. In September, representatives of the Student Government Association (SGA) began meeting with students, faculty and staff about what they described as a “toxic and disruptive environment” on campus, which they blame on Burlington College President Jane O’Meara Sanders.

Seventy-four of the college’s 170 students and 11 faculty and staff signed a petition calling for the emergency meeting and expressing the view that there’s a “crisis in leadership” at the school.
