If you are a regular visitor of the Class of 1953 Commons, it has been difficult to miss Dartmouth Dining’s new hand scanner initiative that promises the ability to scan into Foco with just a wave of your hand. It seems that Dartmouth Dining has a table set up in the building entryway to sign students up for the program almost every time I pass through. Dining workers have been offering candy and other incentives for students to scan their hand prints. Although it might seem like a small change, I believe Dartmouth Dining’s aggressive push towards using this technology at Foco is a shameless attempt to cut costs that presents unaddressed privacy concerns about the storage and protection of student biometric data.

In the weeks since the 2024 presidential election, various groups at Dartmouth have hosted events to discuss former President Donald Trump’s victory — from a panel with government professors to a Conservative Students of Dartmouth ‘Election Debrief’ and election-related listening circles at the Tucker Center.
Since President-elect Donald Trump won the election, colleges and universities have been grappling with his victory’s potential impacts on higher education.

Although these so-called ‘layups’ — courses considered to be easy A’s — may be uninteresting to them or irrelevant to their focus of study, many students opt into them to improve their GPA.
When someone tells you they’re an economics major, you probably think you understand them. They’re a corporate sellout, wishing they could major in finance but settling for the closest alternative at a liberal arts institution — all in preparation for a career in investment banking or consulting. It’s almost embarrassing to admit you’re an economics major. There has been, perhaps rightfully, a growing critique of students turning away from the more traditional liberal arts majors like English and history in favor of more ‘professionally applicable’ ones like economics and computer science.
