Re: A Look At New Collaborations Between Dartmouth and Israeli Institutions

Lee: Rhetoric Matters Beyond the Classroom

Earlier this year, I read Samantha Kang’s “Open Letter to Asian Women at Dartmouth,” in the Spare Rib magazine. Founded in 1992 to inspire dialogue about the progression of women’s issues at Dartmouth, The Spare Rib is an intersectionalist feminist zine that serves as a publishing platform, intellectual forum and community space for marginalized perspectives. In the piece, Kang described aspects of the campus culture that objectified and othered Asian students, especially women. She also recounted an experience in a public speaking class where a professor made comments with “demeaning, racial undertones.”

McKee, Ochsner and Williams: Ingraham Has Not Changed

Laura Ingraham, former Editor-in-Chief of The Dartmouth Review, will be returning to campus on Feb. 25. She’s been invited by the Dartmouth Political Union for an “authentic, one-on-one exchange” in the form of an unmoderated question-and-answer session. 

Hofmann-Carr: The Best Film of 2026 You Won’t See in Theaters

I had the chance last weekend to watch “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” — an extremely unusual but delightful film. Many, including myself, saw the first in the series, “28 Years Later,” last June. Just thinking about the last installment, viewed on a balmy summer night, made walking to see “The Bone Temple” in -13-degree wind chill just a touch more tolerable.

Zhang: Kalaniyot’s Apoliticism is Untrue, Disingenuous and Ironic

Kalaniyot says it is “not a political organization,” on its website. This claim — that Kalaniyot and similar partnerships with Israeli universities are apolitical — is untrue, disingenuous and ironic. It is a blatantly political choice to seek out partnerships with Israeli universities while Israel faces backlash on campus and internationally for ongoing crimes against humanity. Deepening ties with these universities is intrinsically political because these universities are deeply embedded in the security apparatus of Israel. 

Moyse: Epstein, Dartmouth and Banal Immorality

There’s an allure to the Epstein files that I just can’t let go of, and I’m clearly not alone. They’re special because they finally give millions of Americans a concrete stack of papers they can point to that confirms all of their suspicions. The papers provide a dramatic, horrifying narrative and a one-dimensionally evil individual who proves that the elite culture and “the system” is completely rotten, and also that this rot is routinely and purposefully hidden from the public eye. 

Rempe-Hiam: Trump Will Rig The Midterms

A democracy is only as strong as our ability to participate in it. Come November, President Donald Trump is going to try to silence us in any way he can, whether it be by making it harder to register, intimidating voters or denying the results. The administration recognizes a shift in policy mood: people are fed up with Trump, terrified of the gestapo tactics of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and will likely vote blue this coming midterm. In a situation like this, most presidents would try to sway voters. Trump is trying to stop them. 

Chandna: Dartmouth Must Train Its Students to Thrive in An AI-Driven World

A survey by Juris Education, a national law school admissions consulting firm I co-founded after graduating from Dartmouth, brought to light a paradox: nearly 40% of pre-law students said they weren’t comfortable sharing sensitive, mental‑health information with artificial intelligence chatbots, yet 13% of them were doing it anyway. Does this point to the ubiquitous nature of AI as an easily available crutch for students’ emotional struggles? Or is it an outcome of the lack of professional human help available to students on campus?

Alahyari: Keep Kids On Crayons And Off AI

GPS made our lives easier by saving time spent tracing a map. Search engines made our lives easier by saving time spent searching for books at a library. Is artificial intelligence simply the next step in this sequence of helpful technologies? This year’s slate of Super Bowl commercials certainly tried to make the case.

Alsheikh: The Democrats Need Karishma Manzur

When I first heard of Karishma Manzur’s bid for U.S. Senate, it was shortly after New Hampshire’s senators broke rank to end Trump’s government shutdown without any extension to desperately-needed healthcare subsidies. As a Dartmouth student active in left-wing politics, the betrayal hit close to home. I had already been frustrated with the mediocre direction of the Democratic Party — impotent in the face of the affordability crisis and ever-more authoritarian overreach from the Trump administration — and the news left me feeling more alienated than I ever had from the party. 

Cooch: Dartmouth Should Not Expand Israeli University Partnerships Amid Palestinian Scholarly Erasure

Dartmouth College’s government department is recruiting for a new visiting professor position, funded by an anonymous donor and open exclusively to faculty affiliated with Israeli universities. In tandem, Dartmouth’s Kalaniyot chapter — an Israel-specific, faculty-led academic partnership — is expanding support for multiple initiatives that bring Israeli academics to campus and facilitate Dartmouth faculty engagement with Israeli universities.

Adkins: Bad Bunny's Halftime Show Was More Than Entertainment

Super Bowl LX was largely a dud of a game, with touchdowns only coming in the second half and special teams being the main story. However, the larger story came during Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, performed what I believe was one of the best halftime shows of all time. 

Montes-Irueste: Bad Bunny’s Performance Made Latinos and Caribbean People Weep — Here’s Why

Bad Bunny’s halftime performance was an emotional one for millions of Latino/a/x/e and Caribbean people. And it wasn’t just the music that hit us hard. The day before the Super Bowl, I was in the basement of a union hall in Los Angeles discussing the latest attempt to translate xenophobia into political support for increasingly unpopular MAGA Republican members of Congress seeking reelection. Since most measures of affordability for working-class families have gotten worse since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the White House has decided to fast track a series of so-called “affordable housing” proposals ahead of this month’s State of the Union address, beginning with a change to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules that have been in place for generations.

Kenyon: Dartmouth Ran a PR Sting on Its Own Students

The College’s website lists 43 people working in the Office of Communications. With an army of in-house flacks at its disposal, why then would the College need to employ a student and secretly work with him on an op-ed hyping Evergreen.AI for The Dartmouth?
