Dartmouth got it right.

In the 1990s, as the field of economics almost universally rallied around globalization, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman went on a crusade against journalists and pundits who dared raise concerns about unrestricted trade. Through a series of books and articles, Krugman dismissed in scathing style any critique of globalization as being ignorant of well-established economic theory. Some decades later, you’d be able to find Krugman behind what his ’90s self would’ve deemed enemy lines: In the pages of the Bloomberg Opinion Section, admitting that the past economic consensus overlooked the negative consequences of globalization that many journalists and pundits had long been pointing to.
If Ronald Reagan was “the Teflon President,” for his ability to dodge political controversies, then there is probably no substance around to describe the non-stick quality of Donald Trump. His scandals — personal, political and, for a moment, criminal — are so numerous and well-documented that revisiting them will prove to be a fruitless endeavor.
This week marks the middle of my “H-Term.” For those who aren’t in on the lingo, an H-Term (or Hanover term) is when a Dartmouth student takes an off-term but stays in Hanover. I’ve been trying out writing full time while simultaneously taking care of other campus responsibilities. This experiment has taught me a lot about myself and my independent work habits, but beyond that, and more interesting to readers of my column, it has allowed me to take a step back from a busy class schedule and observe the reproduction of the Dartmouth student’s learning power.
Once upon a time, we, as a campus, protested. Have you heard of the 1969 occupation of Parkhurst in opposition to the Vietnam War? The 1985 anti-apartheid shanty towns that lasted for months on the Green? Or the anti-Wall Street Occupy Dartmouth encampment in 2011?
Dartmouth has moved quickly to respond to increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence. The College has issued guidance on the use of generative AI in coursework, created faculty teaching resources and made approved AI tools available to students, faculty and staff. That deserves credit. But when it comes to actual coursework, Dartmouth has largely left faculty to determine for their own classes the rules of what students can use, when and how. The College’s current guidance states that “the instructor’s GenAI policy defines the expectations” for a course.
I have a folder in my inbox that I have never once opened voluntarily. It is labeled, automatically, “Palaeopitus,” and it fills at a pace that suggests an organization with things to say. Over the last year, those things have included: a survey about an e-scooter policy with free Cold Stone as compensation for completion; a survey about Dick’s House with free Lou’s; a survey about Commencement concerns for international students with a five-dollar gift card as a participation incentive; a lunch with an author; two reminders about a leadership conference; and a dinner discussion about gender-based violence and sexual health which was, notably, free. The emails are well-formatted. They arrive with the cadence of institutional confidence. And yet, reading through them, I find myself with a question I cannot shake: What, exactly, is Palaeopitus doing?
Re: ‘Hanover to vote on zoning amendments on May 12’
I speak for a lot of us when I say this academic year has not been kind. With Kate’s, Enzo’s and Ryan’s passings, death has been brushing past us in ways none of us were prepared for, leaving marks on this community that will not simply fade with the season. I want to speak on behalf of my own experience navigating Enzo’s passing, not because I think my grief is the loudest in the room, but because I hope something in it reaches whoever needs it most. I also want to share how I plan to move forward, make meaning out of the meaningless and carry Enzo’s legacy into the world the way he always deserved.
Re: ‘Playing volleyball here was a nightmare’: Inside the Dartmouth women’s volleyball team’s culture
Last spring, I sat at a circular table at Foco Late Night alongside around 15 of my peers in the Class of 2028. There, we watched two of our friends, one Christian and one atheist, debate a topic deeper than what most of our fellow students at the dining hall were discussing that evening: the existence of God.
To the Dartmouth Board of Trustees, President Beilock and the Dartmouth Community:
On April 17, President Donald Trump spoke at Turning Point USA’s “Build the Red Wall” rally in Phoenix, an event designed to energize the Republican base for the midterm elections and marketed as proof of youthful conservative momentum. News coverage from the event described visible empty seats and a crowd older than advertised.
The Dartmouth has restructured its editorial board.
The Black Family Visual Arts Center, which honors alleged child sex offender Leon Black ’73, a close colleague of Jeffrey Epstein, must be renamed. The Dartmouth Editorial Board offers the following two-part letter addressing Leon Black, College President Sian Leah Beilock and the Board of Trustees, calling on them to rename BVAC immediately.
Every time I return home after a term at college, I sit at our home PC and log on to be greeted by a familiar sight: A glowing, grassy hill rolling underneath a bright, blue sky lightly sprinkled with clouds. I chose this background deliberately: Bliss, the iconic wallpaper of Windows XP, is a warm reminder of a simpler time. For a moment, I don’t feel like I’m logging onto a modern computer to take on modern burdens. I feel like I’m at home in a past when technology was a source of comfort.
At the end of my junior season competing for Dartmouth’s women’s volleyball, I was dismissed from the team. No warnings. No details. No opportunity to defend myself.
