Based on the allegation that I was present at the Parkhurst sit-in on Wednesday, I have been placed on immediate suspension from the College. I am currently banned from all Dartmouth-owned or affiliated properties. I have been provided with no evidence proving my presence at the sit-in that occurred on Wednesday, and based on the communications I received from the College, this punishment is partly based on my previous advocacy for divestment.
Re: Verbum Ultimum: Change the Divestment Criteria

When I read co-interim deans Ann Hudak and Eric Ramsey’s letter to the student body about the Parkhurst Hall sit-in, I had the same reaction that much of the student body did. The email described an unruly and chaotic scene in which members of Safety and Security and the president’s staff were injured and where property was damaged. I agreed with the interim deans’ conclusion at the end of the email – that escalation like the events of May 28 cannot be tolerated on our campus. What I didn’t know at the time was that the statement made by the deans was misleading, according to a letter from House professors to senior administrators recently obtained by The Dartmouth.

Rays of pale red and blue light filter through the room and onto the audience’s faces. The sounds of murmurs and hushed conversations sweep throughout the crowd. On the stage, the band untangles the wires of their instruments. The crowd quiets as the band begins to play.

Last week, the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility unanimously rejected a divestment proposal from Dartmouth Divest for Palestine that calls for the College to divest from six weapons manufacturers it says are “directly involved in Israeli apartheid, genocide and violations of international law.” The DD4P proposal is the first divestment proposal to be officially reviewed by ACIR under guidelines updated in 2013, according to the ACIR website.

Ulla Libre ’25 has spent the last year conceptualizing, developing and crafting her creative writing thesis on the forced sterilization of women in Denmark in the 60s. The nonfiction piece — supervised by creative writing professor Jeff Sharlet — explores the history and stories of the spiral case, wherein the government ordered non-consensual fitting of intrauterine devices in Inuit women and girls. Libre spent three weeks abroad in Greenland and Copenhagen, conducting interviews and research for her thesis. Her writing grapples with the question of choice and autonomy through personal narratives — both others’ and her own.
Re: Benamin: Our Words Have Fatal Weight

We write in support of the Student Worker Collective at Dartmouth’s demand for a $23 minimum wage and improved treatment of non-citizen workers. We particularly lament the administration’s decision to delay negotiations with our students who have given the campus a lesson in dignity and courage by standing up for immigrants, international students and campus workers.
