To the Editor:
Bret Vallacher ‘10 suggested that his inability to find a job at Dartmouth was the result of “blatant classism” (“Work-Study Woes,” Jan. 30). He stated that the College makes it “more lucrative” for departments to hire students with federal work-study eligibility than those without. This statement is false. Five years ago, the College changed the way in which student employment is funded. Departments no longer receive any financial benefit from hiring a work-study student. As a result, departments and the Library now hire the most qualified student for the job.

These positions make up less than 2 percent of the available on-campus student jobs.
