On Oct. 2, the Trump administration offered nine schools a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” that would grant schools funding advantages if they adhere to certain admissions and operational standards. The College has until Oct. 20 to respond.
Last weekend, the Dartmouth community celebrated Homecoming without a bonfire for the first time in five years due to a state-wide burn ban. The bonfire was last canceled during the pandemic.
This Monday, as news of the hostage-prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas was met with glowing praise throughout the world, the Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi sat down for an interview with freelance journalist Fariba Amini. In it, he was not so optimistic.
Two republicans in the New Hampshire State House of Representatives will introduce a bill this session that would restrict public schools teachers’ political speech.
Last month, news that a swastika had been drawn outside the room of a Jewish student in Topliff Hall reverberated across campus, prompting Jewish students to voice concerns about antisemitism at Dartmouth.
Has anyone yet noted how ironic it is that Dartmouth was one of the colleges approached to sign the compact when it was Daniel Webster, a member of the Class of 1801, who successfully defended Dartmouth — and thus all private corporations — against government interference when he argued the case Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward before the U.S. Supreme Court? The case centered on the N.H. state legislature’s attempt to change Dartmouth into a public university, and the outcome was a landmark decision that protected private corporations from state interference by affirming that the Constitution’s contract clause prohibited states from impairing a contract.
In an article yesterday, the Chronicle of Higher Education cited two anonymous sources saying that College President Sian Leah Beilock would not sign the Trump administration’s higher education compact “as written.”
When I arrived back on campus for 25F, my final Hanover fall, it had been a long time. After being off in the winter, abroad in the spring and home for the summer, I was struck by how much had changed while I was away. The front of Collis was no longer boarded up by the construction, Novack had a new fancy line system, the Hop was opening again for the first time since my freshman fall and Foco was now accessible by fingerprint identification. The hardest pill to swallow, though, was the new layout in the gym, something I’ve dubbed the “death of Girl Gym.”
Whether it’s because of their love for Foco cookies or Collis’s Life Changer smoothies, students prefer different meal plans. Since not everyone has time to cook or access a kitchen during the 10-week term, a thoughtfully-chosen meal plan can enhance students’ experience on campus.
Dear Freak of the Week,
You’ve caught me in a rather heightened state of stress this week, Mirror. Among other things, waking up in the middle of the night due to the newly sub-40 degree temperatures, having to guess my way through a midterm at 8:50 a.m. last Wednesday and finding a topic for this week’s Editor’s Note have all made their way onto my recent list of stressors.
On a brisk September evening, I found myself inside a four-story, historic building housing dozens of Dartmouth students. My friends and I stood around a communal kitchen, complaining about the course selection process and making plans for a night out. The air buzzed with talk of “tails” and “flitzing.” From the sound of it, this could have been any number of buildings on campus. Yet there was something that set it apart: Streaming in through the cracked window was the sound of cars, ambulances, seagulls and horns. The sound of the hustle and bustle.
It’s not on the Collis menu board, but everyone in a team jacket seems to know it by name. If you manage to weave through the breakfast line during the morning rush, you may spot clusters of athletes balancing paper bowls brimming with half-melted cheese, runny yolks and English muffins. So what is this mysterious morning meal they have acquired?
Four weeks ago, when Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from his late-night show dominated headlines, a less-watched yet infinitely worse television controversy unfolded. Brian Kilmeade, co-host of Fox & Friends, suggested euthanizing homeless people who don’t want to accept government assistance. He wasn’t fired or even suspended. But he should’ve been. Not doing so sets a horrible precedent.
A White House “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” landed in Dartmouth’s inbox earlier this month, alongside letters to eight other universities, including Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — schools the administration has labeled “good actors.” The agreement offers preferential access to federal grants if universities adopt a 10-point framework governing nearly every aspect of academic life: admissions, hiring, tuition, governance and even endowment use.
The fall 2025 Inter-Fraternity Council and Inter-Sorority Council recruitment cycles concluded on Oct. 3 and 4, respectively, with the two councils welcoming their new class of members. According to Greek life and student societies director Hunter Carlheim, the IFC extended bids to over 325 new members, a dip from the 343 bids given out last year. The ISC, however, saw its numbers increase, with over 290 bids being offered to new members — an increase from last year’s 273 bids.
At the Dartmouth Student Government’s meeting on Oct. 12, DSG members and other Dartmouth students discussed the Trump administration’s “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” — a list of demands received by the College and eight other universities on Oct. 1 that would provide privileged funding access conditional on compliance with federal demands.
On Oct. 1, the White House approached the College and eight other universities with a draft of “The Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” The administration expects the nine universities to respond to the White House with “feedback” by Oct. 20.
Professors and student leaders shared concerns that the Trump administration’s “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” could threaten the College’s academic freedom.
