Moyse: The Myth of White Victimhood
(09/27/24 3:32pm)
Returning home to Connecticut is a confusing experience for me. While it’s great to leave the Dartmouth bubble for a while, it doesn’t take long for me to miss the separation Dartmouth offers from my childhood friends and family. After working in Washington, D.C. this summer, I returned home to finish the rest of the summer in peace. However, my time at home has compelled me to describe a phenomenon that I suspect many Dartmouth students do not interact with on campus — one that is singularly powerful in our politics today. The narrative of “White American Victimhood” — or the narrative that white people have been systematically disadvantaged in modern American society — permeates communities across the country. The concept has fueled what I deem to be the most influential and dangerous political movement of our time. However, before addressing its consequences, I have to define it. The only way to quell this movement though, is through understanding and showing empathy to those who have been swept up in it.
Jawad: Dartmouth Needs a Student Trustee
(09/26/24 8:00am)
After Dartmouth removed Core Power shakes from most dining locations — a result of a switch from Coke to Pepsi products in August — a Change.org petition titled, “Bring Back Core Power to Dartmouth: We Need Our Protein!” began circulating on social media, garnering 23 signatures. The petition is meant to be comedic, but it reflects an underlying problem at Dartmouth — the College does not understand what students want.
Claros Benitez: Beilock Is Endangering the Idea of the ‘Just University’
(09/24/24 8:00am)
On Sept. 14, College President Sian Leah Beilock published a piece in The Atlantic titled “Saving the Idea of the University.” In it, she claims that a university’s power is diminished when a particular student group or faculty body imposes a single viewpoint on campus. She stresses that universities must instead support “ideological diversity.”
Zuo: Why Do Dartmouth Students Love Finance and Consulting?
(09/20/24 8:00am)
As seniors return from a term away from campus, my summer debriefs with friends have largely centered on internships and summer jobs. It doesn’t take too many of these conversations to learn that a large portion of Dartmouth students — myself included — will end up pursuing jobs in finance or consulting. In fact, Dartmouth’s Center for Professional Development found that 49% of the Dartmouth Class of 2023 worked in finance or consulting roles during their first fall after graduation.
Muller: The Pursuit of Idleness
(09/19/24 8:00am)
Summer break — a three-month leave from school during which responsibilities are abandoned, feet go bare and possibilities seem endless. Or so one would hope.
Mittman: An Alternative to the Broken Grading System

Have you ever considered taking an interesting class, but stopped yourself because it might hurt your GPA?

Almand: I Am De-Pledging Beta. Here’s Why.
(08/16/24 8:05am)
I am writing to inform you of my intent to de-pledge Beta Alpha Omega fraternity. I can no longer be part of an institution that has contributed to so much physical and emotional harm, including death. I do not take this decision lightly and it was a difficult one for me to make, but I know that it is the correct decision.
Schmitter-Emerson: Vance’s Statement About Parental Voting Threatens Democracy
(08/16/24 8:00am)
Planning to fill in the Trump-Vance bubble on your ballot in November? I encourage you to take a reflective pause and envision the moment. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine a society in which the person in the booth next to you could have a significantly greater voice in the election, purely because they have more children than you do.
Adkins: Riots in the UK Are a Harbinger of Anti-Immigration Violence Across Europe
(08/09/24 8:05am)
Last week, hundreds of far-right protesters in Rotherham, England stormed a hotel hosting migrants seeking asylum. According to the BBC, the protests were part of a broader reaction to a July 29 knife attack, which resulted in the deaths of three children. The attack was initially blamed on a Syrian Muslim asylum seeker who had arrived in the United Kingdom by boat in 2023 — a claim later proven false, the BBC reported.
Schmitter-Emerson: The Classroom is No Space for Professors’ Political Opinions
(08/02/24 8:05am)
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.
Claros Benitez: Farewell, Beilock and Dartmouth’s Bandaids
(08/02/24 8:00am)
Since graduating from Dartmouth in June, I have wondered: In the wake of the May 1 pro-Palestinian protest on the Green, what will the next few years and decades look like on Dartmouth’s campus? How will the College’s administration ensure adequate approaches and solutions to issues students have faced, from arrests to mental health challenges?
Adkins: Once Again, American Exceptionalism Prevails
(07/26/24 8:05am)
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.”
Timchenko and Fomin: Actually, the NATO Alliance Should Invite Ukraine to Be a Member
(07/26/24 8:00am)
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.
Anderson and Gruel: He Should Still Be Here
(07/19/24 8:00am)
We wrestled with this piece’s timing. We asked ourselves: Is this the right time? We honestly still do not know the answer, and that is because it depends in part on you.
Elliott: OpenAI’s Mira Murati has it all wrong
(07/12/24 8:00am)
On June 8, Dartmouth Engineering hosted OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati Th’12 for a conversation about generative artificial intelligence and the future of the technology.
Alsheikh and Montalbano: It’s Time to Revamp Our Seal
(07/12/24 8:05am)
It’s probably odd to read a piece about the Dartmouth Pine in 2024, already six years after the new logo was introduced to give Dartmouth a standardized “visual identity.” Bear with us: we think that the issue of the D-Pine and the seal is central to Dartmouth’s identity and the future of the institution. We argue that Dartmouth must formulate a version of its historic seal that can stand honorably and ethically next to the shields and crests of the Ivy League, instead of a corporate mask which degrades the history of our institution and masks its injustices.
