UPDATE: Boulder Weekly has withdrawn its endorsement for candidate Christie Adams in the Estes Park School District R-3: School Director at Large race.

BW received

an anonymous tip in the form of an online comment on our endorsements

stating that Adams did not have a Ph.D., as had been claimed. BW contacted

Adams twice asking her to simply tell us which school had issued her

Ph.D. so that we could remove the anonymous post if it was inaccurate.

Adams refused to tell BW where she had earned her Ph.D. We

informed her that we would have no choice but to withdraw our

endorsement if she couldn’t provide us with the name of the university

that issued her Ph.D. She still refused to answer and hung up on us.
