It’s Election Day, and campus is abuzz with activity and emotion — both with the excitement of getting to watch, in real-time, votes flow in for the next leader of the United States, but also with a profound sense of anticipation, nervousness and stress.

Or maybe it is the deeply important issues at stake on the ballot — from reproductive freedoms to climate change to tax policy. One thing is certain: there is a genuine sense that this is, as many media outlets have deemed it, the “most important election in our lifetime.”

On May 2 — one day after the pro-Palestinian protest on the Green — Dartmouth Student Government sent an email to the student body about the prior night’s events. In their message to campus, DSG wrote that it was “deeply troubled by the administration’s decision to arrest … students, faculty and community members.” DSG expressed concern for student safety, the prohibition of arrested students from some campus spaces and the insufficient dialogue between administration and protesters. Over the following days, DSG continued to discuss the protest and their next steps. During a public meeting on May 5, DSG passed a vote of no confidence in College leadership, which Student Body President Jessica Chiriboga ’24 vetoed.

Following this second vote, DSG then passed the decision on to their constituents by organizing a student body referendum, which resulted in a slight majority voting no confidence in Beilock.
