Letter to the Editor: I am Very Disappointed

Maureen DeVoe expresses her disappointment in Dartmouth for not signing the AACU’s open letter.

Re: Dartmouth only Ivy to abstain from signing letter against Trump administration funding cuts

I am very disappointed to read that Dartmouth has declined to sign the letter of support for Harvard. I have already participated in three demonstrations to protest the encroaching autocracy of the regime –– yes, I use the word regime purposely –– in Washington. I certainly did not participate for my own amusement in nasty weather and at hours which certainly could have been spent in more pleasurable ways.
