As of April 21, the College has refused to bargain with our union in any further negotiating sessions. They have also refused to extend the current Dartmouth Dining student worker contract. What this means is that the College’s legal counsel rejected meeting with our rank-and-file, student-led bargaining team moving forward, making it more challenging to contractually preserve many of our vital protections for student workers, such as hour and workload security, discipline and discharge, and grievance protections for student workers seeking to resolve issues with their employer. In sum, the College has refused to protect key benefits for hundreds of student workers — especially against law enforcement officials and the rising cost of tuition.

“Drill, baby, drill!”— to quote President Donald Trump’s inaugural address — is an acute synopsis of the Trump administration’s environmental policy. In just four months, Trump has gutted the Environmental Protection Agency, dismantled federal environmental justice initiatives, reinvigorated coal mining and unlawfully blocked clean energy funding. Critically, he has done this with the support of fossil fuel executives he has placed in positions of power such as Department of Energy secretary Chris Wright, the CEO of fracking company Liberty Energy. He has doubled down on utilizing oil and gas, despite the scientific consensus on the need for a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. His administration cut nearly $4 million in funding to Princeton University on the absurd premise that climate research is adding to climate anxiety. In reality it is inaction by those in power that keeps us up at night — not scientists doing their best to understand, solve and communicate the problem.

Picture this: it’s Friday night after a busy week, and you and your friends decide to share dinner in town. When it’s time to pay the bill, you look at your server, reach for your Dartmouth ID, and say, “I’d like to use Dartmouth dining dollars, please.” Now, what if I told you that this scenario isn’t as far from reality as you may think?

Navigating Dartmouth Dining has never been a walk in the park for disabled students. Dining locations are crowded and noisy; the A-9 station, while helpful, is not vegetarian-friendly; and if Dartmouth Dining can’t accommodate your needs, making the move to off-campus housing that would allow one to cook for themself isn’t always financially or physically feasible.

The “Dartmouth Bubble” is real. Although it’s impossible to say what exactly causes it, I think geographic isolation and rigorous courses of study often prevent students from engaging with the world beyond our campus. Right now though, things are different. It feels like the world is coming to Dartmouth in a way that it almost never does, frantically waving its arms and begging us to notice.

It’s no secret that certain hiring pipelines dominate Dartmouth’s campus: according to the 2023 Cap and Gown Survey, an annual College-run evaluation of where graduates plan to work, 46% of Dartmouth graduates were working in either “finance” or “business and management consulting.” We’ve all felt it. Frantic chatter about “recruitment” swallows our campus whole, becoming an inescapable topic of conversation and a widespread aspect of identity on campus.

The Ph.D. was once one route among many for the life of the mind — now it is the route. A multiplicity of intellectual paths have over time flattened into one, and that path leads straight through graduate school. But the professionalized academic is not necessarily the best teacher. Here at Dartmouth, we must change our Society of Fellows to align with more diverse intellectual paths. The Society of Fellows should cease to be a postdoctoral program and instead look for a diversity of intellectual backgrounds.

Omar Rashid ’29 lives in Gaza – you can read more about his story from his incoming classmates or through his Instagram. He has risked his life to apply to Dartmouth, and his dream of being accepted came true in December. Yet without help, he may never arrive. Israel has broken the ceasefire, and Gaza has been sealed off from the world. No humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for over a month, and the Israelis allow virtually no one to leave.

Students came back from spring break to massive dining changes. Late Night was devoid of practically all snacks and favorite meals, and the Courtyard Cafe had digital ordering kiosks instead of dining workers checking out students. According to a survey conducted by Dartmouth Student Government, 94% of student respondents were dissatisfied or strongly dissatisfied with the changes to Late Night dining.

This week, two Dartmouth students abruptly had their visa statuses revoked. Nearly every other Ivy League school has had funding rescinded or suspended for refusing to comply with the Trump administration’s demands.

Since College President Sian Leah Beilock began her tenure at Dartmouth, the official college policy on almost every issue of importance has been one of neutrality. This so-called “institutional restraint” ostensibly serves to foster an open community where all can be heard and respected alongside attempting to keep the college clear of the scrutiny — and funding reductions — that our peer institutions, such as Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern, have faced.

“Radical,” “foreign,” “pro-Hamas,” “pro-terrorist,” “anti-Semitic,” “anti-American” — these are all words President Donald Trump has used to describe Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia University. Because he led student protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, the Trump administration is now trying to deport him for his activism. According to his narrative, he is one of the many subversive, foreign-aligned radicals — many of them “paid agitators,” to use his language — working to overrun American college campuses and to undermine our national security; they must be deported if they are foreign or punished if they are domestic. Sound familiar?

If someone asked me to name one thing that unifies students at Dartmouth, it would be the contempt we hold for our dining services. Even before we got our Class of ’53 Commons hand-scanners and Courtyard Cafe kiosks, Dartmouth Dining under director Jon Plodzik was mismanaged, causing inconvenience at best and food insecurity at worst. The automation and dehumanization of our dining system was the final straw: Plodzik ought to resign from his position.

Our campus and country have been taken by a storm of terrifying news articles, ICE videos that look like muggings and fearful uncertainty. International students and professors have been detained for their political views. On April 7, The Dartmouth reported that two Dartmouth students lost their visas with no apparent rationale.

Matthew Raymer ’03 was recently hired as the College’s next general counsel and senior vice president. He “will oversee the Office of Visa and Immigration Services and serve on College President Sian Leah Beilock’s leadership team,” as The Dartmouth reported earlier this month. Most significantly, Raymer is a Republican, and as anyone with a pair of eyes knows, to be a Republican staff member at Dartmouth College is to commit a grave sin.

During spring break, College President Sian Leah Beilock and the Dartmouth administration announced that the College has hired Matt Raymer ’03 as Dartmouth’s senior vice president and general counsel. I argue that Raymer’s employment at Dartmouth represents a spineless acquiescence to President Donald Trump’s anti-democratic attitude and anti-free speech attacks on higher education. His presence on campus will actively threaten students’ free speech, and he ought to be terminated immediately.
