A house divided: chaos rules Conservative Forum

Fraudulent misrepresentation or merely a case of misunderstanding? Pat Collins, TC '96, has been accused of being "unethically ambitious" by the Conservative Forum for allegedly unlawfully changing the lease for the organization's office.

Since last fall, the Conservative Forum had leased space on the third floor of the Sherman Building on Chapel Street from the Schiavone Management Company. According to a member of the Forum who wished to remain anonymous, "Collins claimed to be a representative for the Conservative Forum, and he indicated that he should be allowed sole access to the office."

Then, he said, Collins proceeded to have the name on the lease transferred from the Forum's name to "Pat Collins and the Light and Truth Fund." However, the source explained that Collins, who is the Republican candidate for the Ward One Alderman seat, was no longer connected with the Forum in any way. "Starting in March, he was no longer a president or an executive of any kind. He had no business in the Conservative Forum," he said.

Collins, on the other hand, said that it was the Forum that had no business in the office. "The notion that there is a Conservative Forum is quite debatable," he said. He said that the lack of Forum activities and speakers led the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), which provides its funding, to take action. "All actions that were taken in regard to the office were with respect to our assumption that they probably wouldn't care," he said.
