As Dartmouth students and advocates for social justice, we are deeply disturbed by the recent events on our campus. On May 1, students gathered on the Green to peacefully protest Israel’s violence against Palestinians. College President Sian Leah Beilock’s administration chose to fight that peace with force, authorizing Hanover Police to take action against the protesters — which ultimately led to the presence of state troopers armed in riot gear and the arrests of 89 individuals. This response casts a shadow over the principles of free speech and student activism that we hold dear as members of the Dartmouth Rockapellas.

Hello, Mirror readers, and welcome to Green Key week!

I’ve always avoided saying goodbye and instead resorted to the “Irish exit.” Whether it’s slipping out of parties when it feels too awkward to alert people of my discomfort, or darting out of class to avoid an awkward conversation with a professor, I have always preferred not saying goodbye. After all, I’ll see them again, right? But with my four years at Dartmouth ending in four weeks, my point of view on saying goodbye has changed.

Five years ago, I began my Common Application essay with the following sentence: “To quote Ferris Bueller, ‘Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.’ I don’t intend to miss my life.” Half a decade later, those words still ring true.

With the leaves changing colors and campus buzzing with excitement for the arrival of a new freshman class, there is no term quite like the fall. For many students, particularly underclassmen, fall is a time to explore interests, which can lead to major developments in their academic and career paths. In fact, it was the classes I took during my freshman and sophomore fall terms that influenced me to declare both my cognitive science major and minor in Asian societies, cultures and languages. With fall 2024 course election coming up, I have grown curious about which fall classes have been students’ favorites.

On Jan. 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol, attempting to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. The attack prompted a year-and-a-half-long congressional investigation into former President Donald Trump’s role in the riot. Visiting professor Kristin Amerling, who served as the chief counsel and deputy staff director of the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, has since shifted her focus from Washington to Hanover, where she’s currently teaching GOVT 86.54: Congressional Investigations, Law and Democratic Governance, a seminar on congressional investigations.

We, concerned parents of current Dartmouth students and alumnae/alumni, are writing to voice our strong objection to the Dartmouth administration’s response to the peaceful protest on the Green on May 1. We are especially disappointed that the College allowed state law enforcement onto campus, and we condemn the physical violence used against peaceful students, faculty, staff and community members. We ask that the College call for charges to be dropped against all students involved in the nonviolent protest and end their bans from spaces on campus.

I am writing to express my dismay at the militarized repression of student protesters against the genocide in Gaza, and at history professor Annelise Orleck’s brutalization by the riot police on May 1. Orleck co-chairs the women’s, gender and sexuality studies program where I am appointed. Her arrest and temporary ban from campus may be read as a collateral assault on the field and on women more generally.

I praise College President Sian Leah Beilock for her decisive actions to maintain order and protect students on May 1. Beilock has done an incredible job balancing the First Amendment rights of protesters with the need to protect all members of the Dartmouth community and ensure all students are included in all areas of campus.
