For the first time in two decades, a candidate is running for Yale University s influential board of trustees without support from the school itself.
He is the former United States ambassador to Poland and longtime Knoxville, Tennessee, mayor Victor Ashe, and he will face off on Wednesday
against Morehouse College president David Thomas.
In a bizarre twist, the university has not yet disclosed Thomas s candidacy, and the school was not planning to make an official announcement about its candidate until Wednesday, according to an email obtained by the
Washington Free Beacon the day that voting begins. Voting will take place until May 23, during which time, the email indicates, Ashe is not [to] campaign or otherwise advocate for his candidacy.

Here’s a quick guide to how it all works.
