McDavid: The Morning After Meetings
(01/29/15 2:04am)
The moment we have all been waiting for is here. College President Phil Hanlon will address the Dartmouth community today at 8:30 a.m., presenting the results of the Moving Dartmouth Forward process and laying out his plan for how the College will address binge drinking, sexual assault and inclusivity. According to a campus-wide email sent Wednesday night from Bill Helman, the chair of the Board of Trustees, President Hanlon’s plan was unanimously endorsed by the Board. One can reasonably expect them to have a significant impact on Greek life. As such, the timing of the announcement is either remarkably tone-deaf or a deliberate attempt to depress the turnout of the students who may be most affected.
Verbum Ultimum: No Simple Solutions
(01/23/15 4:09am)
This past Tuesday, College President Phil Hanlon announced that the “Moving Dartmouth Forward” presidential steering committee submitted their final report. Hanlon will review their recommendations, formulate policy and present that policy to the Board of Trustees on Jan. 28. On Jan. 29, Hanlon will present his plan to combat binge drinking, sexual assault and exclusivity to the public.
McDavid: Correcting Our Vision
(01/15/15 12:42am)
Anticipation can be a strange thing. Soon the Board of Trustees will vote on the Moving Dartmouth Forward steering committee recommendations. For some, I suspect these feel like the last days of freedom to continue the harmless fun they have always enjoyed. For others, perhaps, this feels something like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah. The committee and its recommendations, like the Greek system it will surely seek to reform, are divisive. It will be tempting for some to reject any sort of proposed policy changes, while others may be inclined to ignore the very real deficiencies of the committee’s methods. We must avoid the tendency to see the situation solely in terms of right and wrong. Instead, what we can do — and what we must do — is work harder to understand the experiences of those with whom we disagree.
Woodward: Taking the Plunge
(01/09/15 3:50am)
Coming back from the last long break many of us will have for a while, I can’t help but notice how subdued our campus climate seems. More than a month of traveling, resting at home and enjoying a holiday devoid of papers or problem sets seems to have made us all more calm and collected. In many ways, winter term — the shortest term of the year — represents the epitome of our ability to focus and keep our Dartmouth experience in perspective. With such a short while on campus, we simply cannot afford to waste any time on unnecessary “excess,” whatever form that excess might take.
