Task force will determine future of Dartmouth College Press

By Elizabeth Janowski | May 30, 2018

Following last month’s vote by the University Press of New England board of governors to close down the 48-year-old publishing consortium, interim provost David Kotz ’86 and dean of libraries Susanne Mehrerhave called for the assembly of a task force to determine the future of the Dartmouth College Press. According to a statement issued by Kotz and Mehrer, the task force — which held two meetings open to Dartmouth faculty and staff last week — will decide “whether Dartmouth, and its faculty, are best served by operating a press, or by directing funding toward direct support of faculty scholarship.” In an interview with The Dartmouth, Kotz expressed interest in evaluating the merits of retaining the College Press in the wake of the UPNE’s closure.

Sununu calls on New Hampshire Supreme Court to review HB 1264

By Wally Joe Cook | May 24, 2018

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has called on the New Hampshire Supreme Court to review House Bill 1264 before he decides to approve or veto the bill. On May 10, New Hampshire General Court passed HB 1264, which modifies the definitions of “resident” and “residency” and has drawn concern that the language will restrict out-of-state students’ abilities to vote. Sununu has stated that he does not support the bill in its current form. “I remain concerned about the bill’s constitutionality, and as such, I am asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on this issue to put this matter to rest once and for all,” he stated in a May 15 press release from his office. According to Hanover director of administrative services and town clerk Betsy McClain, students in New Hampshire can currently vote in the state without taking on the full responsibilities of residency, but this bill would likely change that status quo.
