On June 28, the Graduate Organized Laborers of Dartmouth-United Electrical Workers — Dartmouth’s graduate student workers’ union — ratified a three-year contract with the College, College Provost David Kotz announced in a campus-wide email.

On June 9, the Class of 2024’s Commencement ceremony was disrupted by pro-union and pro-Palestinian protesters — following a trend of graduation protests on college campuses nationwide.
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. Chiriboga said she rejected the motion “because several senators expressed interest in deliberating [the issue] further,” according to past reporting by The Dartmouth. DSG then moved to a closed session that same day, where it held a second vote of no confidence — one that failed to pass. 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.

After being arrested during campus protests last night, Dartmouth history professor Annelise Orleck announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that she was “banned from the campus.” According to College spokesperson Jana Barnello, in an email statement to The Dartmouth, Orleck’s prohibition was a condition “imposed by the bail commissioner,” while the College “had no intention of seeking Prof. Orleck’s exclusion from campus.”

During a meeting with Dartmouth Student Government in early April, Dartmouth Dining proposed a new meal plan system for College students. The proposed initiative would have amended Dartmouth’s meal plan options to include three distinct iterations of the Ivy Unlimited plan — which currently grants students $250 in dining dollars and unlimited meal swipes at the Class of 1953 Commons. Under that same proposal, the most expensive version of the Unlimited plan would have cost $150 more and offered $150 more dining dollars than the current Ivy Unlimited option — which is priced at $2,447 — according to DSG.

For many, the College’s decision to enforce a Student Handbook policy prohibiting the display of unregistered flags, banners and signs in residential buildings was surprising and unwelcome. In a recent story published by The Dartmouth, several students whose flags were taken down said they were caught off guard by the College’s recent enforcement of this policy — which occurred after some students began leaving campus for spring break and without prior notice for some affected students. Flags that were taken down include Epsilon Kappa Theta sorority’s years-old LGBTQ+ pride flag, national flags — including the flags of Israel and Palestine — and cartoon flags. The taken-down flags could previously be found across campus, hanging out of the windows of College-owned living spaces, including residence halls and Greek spaces.

Remaining two students end their hunger strike
It’s no secret that off-campus rental housing for students in Hanover is a disaster. We are aware and grateful that Hanover passed a new ordinance last spring at the Town Meeting creating a new position in Town government — a Rental Housing Inspector & Health Officer — dedicated to performing inspections of rental properties. The ordinance requires inspections of rental housing every three years, and problem properties that are repeatedly found to violate applicable habitability requirements are potentially subjected to an annual instead of triannual inspection. The ordinance also provides for fines for violations and the opportunity for properties to be closed to habitation should they be deemed unsafe.
On Jan. 25, Dartmouth Undergraduate Advisors announced their intention to unionize in an open letter on the Student Worker Collective at Dartmouth’s website. The letter, which is addressed to the Office of Residential Life, leadership and other members of the Dartmouth community, arrives after several UGAs shared concerns over the fall term about inadequate training and minimal financial compensation for their role.
