Re: Swastika drawn on floor outside Jewish student’s dorm room
There are both visible and invisible transformations that take Dartmouth by storm in the fall. The leaves change in a stunning and dramatic fashion, and the weather gets cooler. Under the surface, especially in the first couple weeks, campus is also wrapped in a powerful tension. Sophomores are preparing to — or are already in the process of — rushing their respective Greek houses of choice. By the end of week three, each respective fraternity and sorority will have a brand-new crop of members. As a member of a fraternity, this is an anticipatory time: It’s exciting to meet potential new members and work with my brothers to shape a class that we feel reflects both individual and house values.

Δεν ξεχνώ. Never forget.
I needed lunch. It was early September 2023, and I was one month into my new job as a professor at Dartmouth. I asked a colleague to join me. She couldn’t come, but she warned me, “The ’27s are here now, and it’s gonna be much slower getting around campus while they figure it out.”
Charlie Kirk died in one of the most grotesque ways imaginable: a lone assassin’s bullet to his neck, fired before a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University. The shooting, which was horrific and effectively ruled out any chance of survival, was filmed and viewed by millions on social media almost instantly.

Today, President Donald Trump and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska to discuss a possible end to the war in Ukraine. Students of history may find the circumstance disquietingly similar to an event 87 years ago, but I am shocked by how few people seem to be talking about it.
Campus protests, opinion pieces and open letters continue to petition for boycotts of Israeli academics, as a means of pressuring Israel to end its war in Gaza. I argue that weakening academia anywhere, including Israel, is most likely to have consequences exactly opposite to petitioners’ stated or implied goals of helping Palestinian people in Gaza.
The other morning, I was enjoying a leisurely stroll to the gym. I was doing something dumb on my phone when suddenly, I was struck by a splash of cold water. I looked up, expecting an errant water balloon or an ephemeral summer shower. I was instead greeted by a cold, unfeeling black cylinder emerging mysteriously from the ground. I had once again become the victim of the panopticon of automated sprinklers, whose watering paths frequently fly carelessly in the face of major pedestrian thruways. This 10 a.m. shower is emblematic of something larger on our campus: a strange grass fetish.
Once you are enrolled in a college and have paid your fees for the term, you are more or less trapped. Aside from transferring or dropping out, you have little freedom to engage with alternatives beyond the college, and your money has no power to incentivize change within the institution. A college acts like a business in how it takes money, then acts as a communist state in how it delivers its services.
If you ever walk around Hanover on Friday afternoons, you’re probably well aware of the group of local Upper Valley residents that collect on the sidewalks at the four way intersection between Wheelock Street and Main Street. There’s usually about 30-40 of them, and they stand quietly with a variety of anti-Trump signs. For a podcast that I am making for a class, my groupmates and I visited last week’s protests and talked to the leader of the protests as well as a handful of participants. Dartmouth students urgently need to hear what they told us in an hour and a half of conversations.
The 40th anniversary all-class reunion of DGALA — the College’s LGBTQIA+ alumni association — at the end of July was my first time returning to Dartmouth since I graduated in 2015. One of the primary reasons that I wanted to attend this reunion was to advocate for increased support for student protesters and Dartmouth Divest for Palestine from DGALA. Like the other affiliated alumni associations, DGALA signed onto a joint letter sent to Dartmouth senior leadership on May 17, 2024 denouncing the College’s policing of student and community protesters, which was timely and needed.
