I ask because, in addition to Jane Sanders' signature, the CFO's signature appears on a 2010 oan document (Exhibit A in the lst link below); and, coincidentally, that signature belongs to the person who succeeded Sanders as Burlington College president.

In 2014, It was reported by the VTDigger that, "Many faculty members say Plunkett has sacrificed the school’s mission in favor of a plan to sell half the campus to a real estate developer." Coincidence, perhaps? (See 2nd link)

(Also at 2nd link):
"Board of trustee meeting minutes from 2012 and 2013 show Plunkett urged board members to help her raise money by introducing her to their friends, neighbors and colleagues who might be potential donors.

"In an interview this week, however, the president said the college has abandoned fundraising and is focused only on enrollment.

“ 'The only, only, only answer to our tight operating budget is to grow enrollment,' "she said. " "

So . . .
I agree with you when you say, "I think it's on her as the President and on the rest of the Board of Trustees." But, I'd include the CFO to the mix.

I don't think so. She appears to be a horrible manager. redstatebluegirl May 2017 #1

Right -- but the President, not the Board of Trustees, is in charge of managing the paperwork. pnwmom May 2017 #12
She can't find the paperwork for the college, either? Cha May 2017 #15
They have paperwork but not for the questioned donations that she claimed to have. n/t pnwmom May 2017 #16
Yes I posted this question before, and I still have not seen an answer to this either. mackdaddy May 2017 #9

Probably. And the former CFO has been cooperating in the investigation. pnwmom May 2017 #22
