The results are in — after students set up an encampment on Parkhurst Hall’s lawn and demanded that it respond, the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility has finally published its evaluation of the proposal for divestment from companies complicit in Israel’s violations of international law. The results are as expected: ACIR has voted unanimously to not forward the proposal for further review.
Re: Student union strikes, calling for higher wages and other benefits
Over the past few weeks, alumni and current students have taken to the pages of The Dartmouth to voice their frustration over President Beilock’s decision not to sign the American Association of Colleges and Universities open letter defending academic freedom and institutional neutrality. A quick scroll through the opinion section makes one thing abundantly clear: the Dartmouth community is unhappy.

Re: Beilock says ‘reflection does not mean capitulation’
Dartmouth students are busy. There seems to be a constant obligation to fill weekdays with work. For many students, it’s not just days of the week on campus — this feeling extends to off terms too. Questions like “Have you found an internship yet?” or “How did your interview go?” seem to permeate campus, no matter what term it is.
Recently, I attended a Political Economy Project lecture by Daniel Di Martino, titled “The High Prices of Free Things: How Socialism Destroyed Venezuela.” The central thesis of the talk was basic: that state socialism, and this model of governance alone, is to blame for the poor social and economic conditions in Venezuela. I believe this assertion is fundamentally wrong. The speaker’s attempted use of the failed state of Venezuela to fearmonger against progressive movements in the United States was in bad faith and factually dishonest.
Over the past 18 months, the genocidal onslaught on the Palestinian people in Gaza has reached unfathomable levels. No food or medicine has entered for over two months. An Israeli minister recently announced what has already been clear policy: an intention to entirely destroy and annex Gaza.
To the Editor-in-Chief, Charlotte Hampton,
Last week, exactly one year after 89 students were arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest on the Green, students once again set up an encampment on College property to call for divestment and other administrative reforms.
The precedent that the College had set up to this point was very clear: an encampment was the red line. For students to take up permanent space on this campus that, we are told, is our “home for four years” was the threshold the administration had set for immediate arrest, first in October 2023, and then again at a much larger scale on May 1, 2024. These were the rules of the game that student protesters accepted going into the Palestine encampment last week.
Recently, the Student Workers Collective at Dartmouth has been one of the most prominent activist groups on campus. From the encampment in front of Parkhurst last week to recent rallies on the Collis Patio, they have taken stances on contract negotiations and the Israel-Palestine conflict. Although I think that a combination of pressing social issues can often be powerful and effective tools to help raise awareness, there is a time and place for them. In the case of SWCD, the fusion of being pro-Palestinian and fighting for higher wages for dining workers wrongly compares the struggle of Dartmouth students with those suffering in Gaza, intentionally or not.
Elan Kluger 26’s op-ed reveals his own myopic, naive misunderstanding of the relationship between work and purpose. Kluger misconstrues criticism leveled against aspiring financiers or consultants as defensiveness masking latent “careerism.” It’s a pity you’re a cynic, Kluger. Because you’re wrong: Some people are motivated by passion.
Re: Beilock says “reflection does not mean capitulation”
As a freshman during spring term 1972, I attended my first protest against the Vietnam War in front of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory near campus. Although a few other protesters had committed to performing acts of civil disobedience during the protest — namely, by blocking the driveway entrance to CRREL — I was only there to lend vocal and moral support. After the Hanover police had removed and arrested the half-dozen or so protesters who had physically blocked the entrance and refused to move, the protest looked like it would be very short-lived unless others threw themselves into the breach. So I was moved to do so and quickly found myself in the paddy wagon headed to Hanover’s jail.

On Green Key last year, after another day of dangerous, unplanned, regretful decisions, I told Won sternly: “If your world ends, so does mine.”
