And other alumnae said that despite Dunn's goodwill, they are not reassured by those promises.
"I'm troubled by the continued uncertainty as to the continuation and funding of the RCAA," said Janet C. Corcoran '79, an RCAA regional director.
Corcoran said that abstract principles are no substitute for concrete clauses in the merger document.
"What's concerned me all along in how those negotiations took place is that the devil is always in the details," she said.
Some alumnae may reserve their backing until those specifics emerge.
"If you're asking, do we support [the merger], I can't tell you until I know in all of its ramifications what it is I'm supposed to be supporting," Lieberman said.
Post said funding is not the only concern that has not been formally addressed by the merger document.
"We have issues about membership... about [whether] we will still exist and will have the freedom we have had in the past to deal with issues," she said.
