I was arrested a year ago today, while reporting for The Dartmouth.
I would like to thank Elan Kluger ’26 for his history lesson on Ph.D.s and the precursors to our Dartmouth Society of Fellows. However, I wonder if Kluger has reached out to engage directly with any of the current members of the SoF, or participated in any of the invited lecture and discussion events organised by the SoF?

“We urge everyone to speak out and actively participate in our democracy. As Coretta Scott King said: ‘The struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.’”
On April 23, Dartmouth solidified its place as a follower. Instead of standing up for higher education and our values, Dartmouth chose to sit by as Harvard leads the way in saying “no” to Trump.
To quote Charles B. Strauss ’34, an early student-activist and writer at the College: “The liberal college as the alumni knew it is slipping away. Its traditional sort of activity, whether at Dartmouth or at any other institution of its kind, is being repudiated more and more.”
Dear President Beilock,
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?
