Dartmouth needs a place reserved for an international member on the Board of Trustees. By international, I don’t mean a child of immigrants or a naturalized U.S. citizen. For the purposes of this article, I don’t mean anyone from the Anglo-Western world either. I am talking about people who have been through the daunting process of leaving their home country and crossing linguistic and cultural boundaries to seek an education in the States, but who choose to ultimately return to their countries of origin or settle away from the United States. This, I believe, is where a school like Dartmouth’s calling truly lies — not in contributing to global brain drain or fueling the American corporate machine, but instead creating a class of exceptional individuals who embody “a sense of responsibility for each other and for the broader world,” as outlined in the College’s mission statement. I believe that having an international Trustee is not only symbolically important, but also a strategic imperative to pursue these aims.

Artificial intelligence is an issue that lingers quietly at the back of our minds, an unspoken discomfort that many of us carry. As college students, we have experienced the advent of artificial intelligence models and witnessed the breathtaking pace at which they have advanced. Some of us may have benefited from these large language models’ impressive talent for completing assignments. But beneath the convenience lies the growing anxiety that artificial intelligence will reshape societies and markets in ways that we do not yet understand. Dartmouth must more proactively integrate AI into the classroom.

In June, the Trump administration barred foreign students from attending the institution. However, on June 20, the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts indefinitely blocked the Trump administration’s order. While the decision does secure the status of Harvard’s international students for the time being, the fact that this decision does not come from the Supreme Court leaves them hanging by a thread. In the unfortunate yet plausible event that the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Trump administration, other Ivy League institutions should come forward and admit these students. Dartmouth should lead the charge.

I would never have thought that I could feel the slightest bit of embarrassment for receiving financial aid. In fact, I don’t think anyone should feel that way when working towards a four-year degree at an Ivy League institution.

Class is in 20 minutes, and the syllabus says to read a 40-page research paper, a chapter of a book or some crazy long piece of text. There’s no way the reading is going to get done in time for class. Life got in the way. Maybe you look up a summary, maybe ChatGPT it, then just let others do the heavy lifting in the class discussion. Or, you try to get some participation credit and say something vague as you try to read your professor’s poker face while wondering whether they can tell you haven’t read it.

In May, President Donald Trump announced his decision to bar international students from attending Harvard University, which came after the university refused to comply with policy changes demanded by the president. The order preventing Harvard from enrolling international students marked an escalation in a saga that has pitted the Trump administration against numerous private, elite universities across the country. These attacks are misguided policies that fail to recognize the importance of international students, not only to the universities that they attend, but also to the United States.

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.

On May 20, the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility unanimously voted against advancing the divestment proposal by Dartmouth Divest for Palestine to the Board of Trustees. The proposal did not satisfy its five criteria for “completeness,” which determine whether it moves forward to the president and the Board of Trustees.

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.

Last week, the Trump administration announced that it is revoking Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. This comes after weeks of legal battles after the university sued the White House in April over a $2.2 billion funding freeze, claiming that the Trump administration was engaging in governmental overreach.

Years before the age of DoorDash and Uber Eats, before the influx of boutiques and boba into downtown Hanover, a little pizza parlor stood on Lebanon Street. C&A Pizza — owned and operated by the Georgakopolous family since 1976 — had been a late-night favorite of Dartmouth students for years, known for their unique, Greek-style pizza. Yet, over the years, business slowed down, and in 2019, a reappraisal significantly increased the value of the family’s property, hiking their taxes and giving them no choice but to close the parlor and sell their property.

In the summer of my freshman year, I lost my father. I was consumed by immense grief, but also economic anxiety. The same day I buried my father in Bangladesh, my family discussed whether I could even afford to go to Dartmouth anymore. My family’s finances were already stretched thin with sending me to college in the U.S. I felt some relief when I got off the waitlist to become an undergraduate advisor a few days later.
