Markman: Student Protesters Should Rethink Their Approach
(10/25/24 8:10am)
As a Jewish student, I worry about the upheaval of campus life arising from pro-Palestinian protests. I know I am not alone in my concerns — and my fears are not wholly unwarranted. Whether passing graffiti demanding “pigs off campus” — a seeming reference to the cops who arrested 89 individuals at a pro-Palestinian protest on May 1 and a phrase that recalls medieval antisemitic tropes — or being accused of complicity in genocide, Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus have dealt with months of hardship. While these actions have been painful for many students to see and hear, I believe the true damage of many protests lies in their broader illiberal, unwelcoming and coercive nature.
Q&A with outgoing Provost David Kotz ’86
(10/25/24 9:10am)
Provost David Kotz ’86 first arrived in Hanover as an undergraduate more than 40 years ago and has barely left since. After graduating from the College in 1986 with a degree in computer science and physics, Kotz earned his Ph.D at Duke in 1991 and returned to the College to teach later that year. He has risen through academia and administration in the decades since. In July 2021, former College President Phil Hanlon appointed Kotz interim provost, a post that became permanent in January 2022. His role makes him Dartmouth’s chief academic and budget officer. During his time as Provost, Kotz has continued to advise graduate students, serving as the Pat and John Rosenwald Professor of Computer Science. Kotz announced that he will conclude his tenure as provost this June after almost three years in office, returning full-time to the computer science department following a year-long sabbatical. The Dartmouth sat down with Kotz to discuss his life and career at the College.
