Dartmouth professor and former director of the College's Neukom Institute for Computational Science Richard Granger has filed a countersuit in Grafton County Superior Court in the ongoing litigation with the Newport Harbor Lutheran Church. Granger's ex-wife Cheryl Lean Granger pleaded guilty to embezzling $320,000 in 2008, after forging board members' signatures on 170 checks while acting as the church's bookkeeper. Following her conviction, she was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to repay the church.

If anything, Dartmouth's cultural taboo on academic pride has become stronger over sophomore Summer.
