Although I have had many productive and equitable discussions in Dartmouth classrooms, I frequently find myself reflecting on a particularly strange interaction I recently experienced. During this class, the professor interrupted our scheduled lesson to ask for our opinions on an unrelated political question regarding the Israel-Hamas war. When people tentatively shared their perspectives, the professor responded tensely with dissenting views. As the course progressed, it became apparent that the group of students who did not agree with the professor’s own opinions were received less favorably in class discussions.

How will the College’s administration ensure adequate approaches and solutions to issues students have faced, from arrests to mental health challenges?

Dartmouth Cemetery trustee Petra Sergent plays a crucial role in maintaining the cemetery’s headstones. Established in 1771 by Eleazar Wheelock, the Dartmouth Cemetery, also known as the Town of Hanover Cemetery, was maintained by the Dartmouth Cemetery Association from 1845 to 1943, according to Dartmouth News. In 1943, the Association ran out of funds and signed the deed to the Town of Hanover, who has managed the grounds since. Every other week in the spring and summer, Sergent — also a member of the Dartmouth Cemetery Conservation Group, formed in 2022 for headstone cleaning and preservation — ventures to the cemetery for maintenance. The Dartmouth sat down with Sergent to discuss the DCCG, the cemetery’s history and the lives of those buried on campus.

As I’m sure we’ve all seen, former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13. While this historical event has rightfully shocked Americans, the narratives espoused on our airwaves did not fully reckon with the shortcomings of democracy in the United States. Rather, many focused on denying the fact that our democracy is faltering. In a press conference held hours after the assassination attempt, for example, President Joe Biden told viewers that “this is not America” and that there was “no place for this kind of violence in America.”

On July 8, three Dartmouth government professors — Jennifer Lind, Daryl Press and William Wohlforth — cosigned an open letter in The Guardian titled, “The NATO Alliance Should Not Invite Ukraine to Become a Member.” We, as members of the Dartmouth Student Alliance for Ukraine, express strong condemnation of the arguments the letter propagates. We fear Dartmouth faculty members may be echoing Russian propaganda talking points. Alarmingly, the letter has recently been translated and republished in multiple Russian news sources, from Komsomolskaya Pravda to Izvestia. We believe this demonstrates the palpability of the letter’s arguments to the Russian public.
