God, Some People
Recently, "To Be Straight With You," a live dance show about "tolerance, intolerance, religion, and sexuality," was performed at the Hopkins Center ("'Straight with You' explores sexuality, religion, intolerance," Sept. 24). This show did the Dartmouth community a great favor by raising awareness about the level of abuse and even violence that is directed towards homosexuals in the Western world. These civil-rights abuses are of the utmost severity, and they demand our attention. The show was also commendable for its restraint: It did not directly argue that intolerance is the necessary result of religious belief.
Class Cuts
At Dartmouth College, we have an ongoing discussion about the role of race in our community. The discussion perennially waxes and wanes. Sometimes it crescendos to a very intense degree -- as with the crew team's "Cowboys and Indians" party and The Review's attack on Native Americans. Other times, the discussion happens on a smaller scale when the issue is not particularly grave -- like the "Hip Hop in the Hood" mini-fiasco.

Yale, Dartmouth battle for first Ivy win in Hanover Saturday
Saturday's game will carry particular significance for both teams.

Daily Debriefing
Female faculty members and graduate students in the political science department at Rutgers University believe that they are being unfairly treated because of their gender, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. The charges of unequal compensation and exclusion from leadership positions were first voiced in April 2007 to the dean of Arts and Sciences but no inequalities were observed by the University, The Chronicle reported. Female faculty members argued those findings by writing to the University's President Richard L. McCormick in May 2007, who went on to launch an investigative committee into the allegations. A July 2008 report from the committee uncovered "evidence of subtle and not-so-subtle bias against women in the department." According to The Chronicle, discrimination against women is also evident in other academic departments and other schools around the U.S. The average salaries of women in educational professions at universities and colleges is 78.1 percent of the salaries of their male colleagues, according to a 2006 study conducted by the American Association of University Professors.
