Ribble: Institutional Restraint Is Just Another Chapter In Dartmouth’s Long History Of Suppressing Dissent

(10/09/25 8:05am)

Over a year ago, Dartmouth College leadership called in police to arrest 89 students, faculty and community members during a protest calling for divestment from Israel, claiming it was enforcing a policy against erecting encampments. The decision sharply divided the community, leading to faculty censuring College President Sian Leah Beilock and the student body voting “no-confidence” in her leadership. After this wave of discontent, in December 2024 the College formulated its “institutional restraint” policy, limiting the administration and academic departments to only making statements “when confronted with issues directly relating to Dartmouth’s mission.”

The weather has been strange lately; too warm for October, too bright for this late in the year. Each weekend feels borrowed from summer, the air stubbornly refusing to cool. I walk to class through heat that smells faintly like sunscreen and pavement, and I can’t help feeling like the season has overstayed its welcome. The world seems confused about what it’s supposed to be.
