M.K. Gandhi Institute Board Release

(January 25, 2008)

Yesterday Arun Gandhi chose to resign his position as President of the Board of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence. The Board of Directors respects his resignation as final as a result of this incident. The essence of Arun Gandhi’s work has been to educate and promote the principles of nonviolence. In that spirit, the Institute plans to work with the University of Rochester and other community groups to use the recent events as an opportunity to deepen mutual understanding through dialogue employing the principles of nonviolence and peace. The Institute invites partnership in this process.
