This week, College President Phil Hanlon announced that the Geisel School of Medicine will restructure in response to budgetary problems. Administrators aim to reduce the medical school’s $26 to 28 million annual deficit by diverting funds from the medical school’s weaker programs to its stronger ones.
The responses to the Association of American Universities campus climate survey certainly put the College above national norms or expectations regarding sexual assault awareness and reaction. Our campus is known to have a high incidence of sexual assault — this could either mean that we have more assaults than other schools or that assaults on our campus are reported more often than elsewhere. Either way, the recent survey responses prove that Dartmouth students, on average, are relatively more receptive to and likely to take action in the case of sexual assault or misconduct. These statistics and our status in relation to national averages, however, cannot make us complacent or distract us from our mission. Just because we are doing better than other schools does not mean we are doing well. Just because our students are more aware of, more likely to act on and even more likely to report sexual assault or misconduct, does not mean that we have reached our goal. We need to force ourselves to act without regard to our relative status. Receptiveness and awareness of sexual assault is not another Ivy League numbers game. It is not about competing with schools across the nation — it is about competing with ourselves. The survey gives us a good perspective on where we are, but it should not distract from where we are aiming to be.

Following both internal and external criticism, recently appointed Susan Taffe Reed will no longer serve as the director of the Native American Program, College spokesperson Diana Lawrence confirmed in an email.
A look back at the early 1980s shows that the current freshman fraternity ban is not the first time our youngest colleagues have been excluded. This article — written by politically active alum Dinesh D'Souza '83 — covers freshmen first entering Greek houses in January of 1980. Phi Delt, the article reports, was the only house to have a freshman welcoming party.
Ah, freshman fall. The glorious time of year when shmobs are formed, games are pre’d and meals are swiped.
Welcome back to Dartmouth Admissions!
As Dartbeat’s foremost expert on cocaine usage, I must inform you all of yet another major cocaine-related discovery in one of the biggest songs of this summer. This time it’s “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd, which may come as a surprise to some.
The Geisel School of Medicine will undergo an overhauldue to budgetary constraints, though the details of the plan have not been finalized pending faculty input, College President Phil Hanlon announced at a town hall meeting in Kellogg Auditorium today. He attributed the budgetary issues to a national trend of decreasing revenue streams for academic medicine and said the change will involve reallocating funds toward programs that promote “academic excellence” — though this may result in a “reduction in force” in other areas.
While my friends at other schools are nervous about emailing that person who interviewed them during corporate recruiting, I sent that one out two days ago. What’s hard about perfecting a professional email? The email that sits in my drafts, not quite perfect, is to that cute boy I met last week. It’s a flitz.
Dari Seo ’16 was confirmed as Student Assembly vice president on Friday in a near-unanimous vote. According to Assembly rules, Seo needed votes of two thirds of the general assembly to be confirmed.

Saturday classes: Just… no.
Last week, the College ended its eight-year-old “need-blind” policy for international applicants in favor of a “need-aware” policy, meaning that the College will consider the financial need of international applicants as an admissions criterion. College spokesperson Diana Lawrence has stated that the goal is “to increase and stabilize” the international student population on campus.
The College saw an 8.3 percent return on its endowment for the 2015 fiscal year, the College announced last night in a press release. The endowment saw 19.2 percent growth for the 2014 fiscal year, 12.1 percent for 2013,5.8 percent in 2012 and 18.4 percentin 2011.
Brown University: The University released results for its largest-ever campus climate survey that detailed accounts of sexual assault on campus on Monday, administered through the American Association of Universities, the Brown Daily Herald reported. The survey found that the majority of female students who experienced sexual assault did not report the incident and that 25 percent of undergraduate women reported experiencing sexual assault. Columbia University: A recent survey revealed that the number of sexual assault reports, findings of responsibility and expulsions have increased in the 2014-2015 academic year, the Columbia Daily Spectator reported. Despite this, the university will not require students to re-attend an initiative focused on sexual respect education this semester.
If you ever feel intimidated by an impressive Dartmouth grad, just remember that they, too, pooped in the woods at some point.
1. Saturday classes are scheduled earlier in the day than usual, so if you have classes between 8 and 10 in the morning, you may as well pull an all-nighter and enjoy your Friday night — maybe even complete the Lou’s Challenge.
Most College policies generate some mixed opinions among the student body, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with such a unanimous opposition such as this. It’s also disastrous for our international appeal — Dartmouth’s name brand isn’t huge outside of the United States in the same way a big research university like Harvard University, Columbia University or even Duke University’s brand is.
