Projections of former President George W. Bush, the war on terror and news clips from the post-9/11 era filled the wall behind a troupe of disgruntled youth. As a fast guitar riff kicked into gear, the words “don’t wanna be an American idiot” rang out like a gunshot from one of the performers before the rest of the company fell into song about war, propaganda and national tension.
After senior vice president and senior diversity officer Shontay Delalue steps down at the end of June, institutional diversity and equity will no longer operate as a standalone senior administrative office at the College. The office will move under the Office of Community and Campus Life, overseen by senior vice president Jennifer Rosales, Dartmouth News announced on May 15.

On May 28, federal district court judge Samantha Elliott ruled that New Hampshire’s 2024 law requiring proof of citizenship for first-time voters is unconstitutional.
