Following a police investigation, the College has identified the individual that authored a Jan. 10 threatening post on Bored at Baker and is pursuingdisciplinaryaction through College systems. Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson announced these measures and condemned the anonymous post in a campus-wide email Friday morning.
The post, a step-by-step guide to assaulting a female member of the class of 2017, identified the student and her residence cluster.
"The recent Bored at Baker posting targeting a member of our community sharply illustrates the damage that disrespectful, irresponsible and anonymous comments in online forums can have for the person targeted and for our community as a whole," the statement read. "While we defend the right to freedom of expression and vigorous debate on our campus, anonymous online or other personal, harassing and threatening language is not protected or defensible and has no place in any community—let alone the Dartmouth family we all hold so dear."
The College's eight Panhellenic Council sorority presidents also criticized the Bored at Baker post in a campus-wide email Friday morning.
