Dartmouth is among the nine campuses “invited” last week to preview the Trump administration’s latest protection racket: The federal government has promised that colleges that sign the compact will receive “preferential treatment” for federal funds, most of which the government is already required by law to provide to universities. In response, College President Sian Leah Beilock has promised us that she will “always defend our fierce independence.” While heartening, her message did not pledge to reject the compact. This pledge is what we are asking for now, urgently. At stake is open-ended federal control over the form and content of higher education, expressed in nakedly ideological terms.

In the aftermath of the GOP’s decisive victory in 2024, I wrote a column arguing that Democrats could appeal to working-class voters again by embracing big government populism and targeting the ultra-rich ruling class as the root of the layman’s problems. Since then, Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory in the New York City mayoral primaries seems to have indicated a shifting tide in Democratic party politics in favor of this exact form of populism. Some have been quick to point to Mamdani’s recent victory as proof that this is the party’s future; writing for The New York Times, historian Timothy Shenk recently declared economic populism the winning strategy for Democrats, citing the key to Mamdani’s victory as “a scorching economic message delivered by political outsiders standing up to the powerful.”

Re: After investigation, Hanover police contest Beilock’s announcement of swastika
(10/03/25 8:30am)
Over the weekend, College President Sian Leah Beilock announced that a second swastika had been drawn outside the dorm of a Jewish student. Shortly after, The Dartmouth reported that the Hanover Police Department did not believe that it was a swastika, and described it as “positive and non-threatening.” That report was followed by a letter to the editor titled Admin, Do Your Due Diligence, calling out the administration and saying that it “needlessly” put the Jewish community on edge.

In case you missed the news yesterday, the Trump administration has formally reached out to Dartmouth to sign an agreement and join the new “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” Signing on would come with requirements. The Wall Street Journal described some of the requirements as outlined by the Trump Administration – Dartmouth would have to “ban the use of race or sex in hiring and admissions, freeze tuition for five years, cap international undergrad enrollment at 15%, require that applicants take the SAT or a similar test and quell grade inflation.” In exchange, Dartmouth would receive funding preference.

My colleague David Blanchflower pointed out last month that, while college-age students used to have the highest mental health around the globe, they now have the lowest.

In recent messaging, Dartmouth’s leadership has emphasized institutional neutrality. The College, they suggest, should avoid entanglement in political controversy, focusing instead on education — perhaps exclusively.

In conversations with friends, I recently discovered that the four-way intersection at East Wheelock and South Main Street is an infrequently discussed yet polarizing part of campus life. It’s not the intersection on its own, but specifically how the traffic lights work — some people love it, some people hate it and most everyone can’t understand why someone would feel differently than they do about it.

On Sept. 3, former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu posted a cryptic tweet on his unverified, obscure X page: “Don’t call it a comeback…” The post linked to a Politico article reporting that the former senator is weighing a run for Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. Could Sununu, a member of a powerful New Hampshire political family, be tacitly confirming his intention to run? Although his gambit for the Senate seat may seem out of the blue, he might just be the best candidate for the job if he positions himself as a firmly anti-Trump Republican.

Students at Dartmouth are once again being threatened with punishment for standing up against injustice. The Valley News reported last week that protests have already broken out over the administration’s handling of the Gaza conflict and calls to divest from weapons manufacturers. Instead of listening, it seems that the school is trying to silence them, with College President Sian Leah Beilock telling students that the College is “not a political organization.”
