The study was led by Edlira Shehu, marketing and management professor at the University of Southern Denmark; Dominik Papies, the chair of marketing at the University of Tübingen in Germany; and Scott Neslin, marketing professor at Tuck.

The board of the Hanover Consumer Cooperative Society, which oversees grocery stores in Hanover, Lebanon and White River Junction, issued a statement on March 13 in opposition to the White House’s fiscal year 2019 budget proposal to cut funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The statement opposed the proposal to cut allowances of SNAP recipients in half and provide the remaining half through pre-packaged, predetermined foods. Currently, SNAP gives around 46 million low-income Americans an average stipend of $126 per month to spend on food. The proposal would reduce 30 percent of the food stamp program’s budget if enacted. To compensate for these cuts, those SNAP recipients who receive more than $90 per month would get half of their benefits in the form of a food package.

Dartmouth and 48 other universities sent a letter to members of Congress urging them to revise a provision of the Tax Cuts and Job Act on March 7. The provision imposes a 1.4 percent excise tax on the net investment incomes of college and universities with more than 500 students and endowments greater than $500,000 per student. The tax could cost the College as much as $5 million annually. The College joins Harvard University, Princeton University and Yale University as one of only four Ivy League schools affected by the provision. Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania do not have endowments per student large enough to be affected by this provision, but Brown, Cornell and Penn signed the letter nonetheless.
