At a Rockefeller Center for Public Policy event last weekend, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said, “We have seen too much cowardice from private sector business leaders in America at a time where we need more courage of people speaking out for moral clarity.” Dartmouth’s president and trustees could have learned from these words had they been in attendance.
Meet Evergreen.AI, Dartmouth’s multi-million dollar cash sink designed to generically “support student success.” The investment aims to provide ready available mental health for students via a chatbot. In reality, the project is too costly, ill-defined and falls short of its lofty goals.
Last week, I tuned into a John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding talk on Iran by Michael Rubin, a historian of Iran and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Much of Rubin’s talk was enlightening: He provided an accurate assessment of several often-overlooked historical factors that are crucial in understanding Iran’s current situation, including the memory of the Iran-Iraq War, the entrenched structure of the Revolutionary Guard and even the legacy of the bygone Constitutional Revolution of 1905. His affinity for the Iranian people and their history, which no doubt stems from his extended time spent in the country, was apparent and admirable.
Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, impersonating police officers searching for a missing child, arrested Columbia student Ellie Aghayeva in her dorm. Columbia University President Claire Shipman quickly updated the student body, explaining that the Department of Homeland Security Agents had no warrant, and that security footage showed the agents gaining access to the residential building with a poster of an alleged missing child. Following this arrest, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani dropped everything and flew to Washington, D.C., ultimately negotiating with Trump for Aghayeva’s release 10 hours later.
Each February, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announces roughly a dozen nominees for its yearly induction ceremony. The voting process allows fans to vote — once per day on their website — along with approximately 1,200 industry professionals. Each year, the inductees are announced in April, and a televised induction ceremony is held in the fall.
More than 10,000 doctoral-trained experts left federal science roles in 2025. That loss will not stay in Washington. It will show up in labs, classrooms and hospitals, including our own at Dartmouth.
At Dartmouth, ambition has a rhythm: countless recruiting emails, coffee chats between classes, LinkedIn notifications as return offers circulate through group chats. Traditional career paths with clear recruiting cycles, such as consulting, finance, tech, medicine and law feel familiar because generations before us have walked them. There’s comfort in that familiarity, in knowing that the path is set.
It’s easy to get lost in the Dartmouth bubble and block out the noise of the Upper Valley, to say nothing of the world — so it should come as no surprise to anyone that very few on campus are talking about, or even aware of, the apartheid-free communities resolution on the ballot today in Hartford, Vt. Just a ten-minute drive across the river, the town will vote today whether or not to adopt a pledge “to join others in working to end all support to Israel’s apartheid regime, colonialism and military occupation,” as part of the broader “Apartheid-Free Communities” movement being carried out across the country and around the world.
As I sat in Filene Auditorium listening to Laura Ingraham ’85, I could hear loud shouts of protest. “DPU, shame on you,” students and community members shouted, in response to the FOX News host’s presence on campus — a former editor of The Dartmouth Review turned Trump advocate.
Whatever you thought of Leon Black ’73, the new wave of Epstein files confirms he’s worse. In an earlier piece titled “Beilock, Rename BVAC,” I dove into Black and Jeffrey Epstein’s tangled financial and personal relationship. Administrators have yet to express any intention of renaming the Black Family Visual Arts Center — multiple cases of alleged sexual assault and financial connections to Epstein seemingly aren’t enough to warrant administrative action.
First Charlie Kirk, now Laura Ingraham: the Dartmouth Political Union is certainly on a roll when it comes to inviting controversial speakers to campus. By now the parameters of the debate I am about to enter should be familiar to all: When is it appropriate to give a platform to individuals whose views many consider hateful? Are those who protest such events — such as me, writing this piece from inside an igloo on the Green covered in banners and flags — simply too close-minded, too radical to appreciate the dialogue the DPU is promoting?
Re: Former U.S. transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg visits campus
I’ve gone back and forth on the significance of artificial intelligence as a new technology. One part of me desperately wants to cling to the idea that our time period is somehow unique, and that AI will be uniquely apocalyptic in its consequences. However, another part of me, one that knows history, warns me not to be a fool. People have predicted calamity in the face of new technological developments for thousands of years.
Re: A Look At New Collaborations Between Dartmouth and Israeli Institutions
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
