Phi Delt, Admissions settle on Dimensions weekend incident

By Matthew Abbott | May 25, 2006

At a May 11 hearing with a College dean, Phi Delta Alpha fraternity was found responsible for providing alcohol to persons under the legal drinking age and given one week of social probation which ended at midnight last Thursday. The charges stem from an incident over Dimensions weekend late on the night of April 19 when prospective students, who were in the presence of two admissions officers, were able to gain entry to the house and obtain alcohol.

By Matt Hill | May 25, 2006

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings this week, Dartmouth students will be able to witness the best work of their theatrically-inclined peers.

SA considers COS reforms

By Dane Schlossberg | May 24, 2006

The outgoing leadership of the Student Assembly convened Tuesday night for its final meeting of the academic year to discuss the preliminary findings of the Committee on Standards Task Force and debate several other important resolutions and proposals. Michael Herman '07, a member of the COS Task Force, said that other elite undergraduate institutions' judicial systems, including Harvard University, Princeton University and Stanford University, currently employ more onerous burdens of proof than that of Dartmouth's, which depends on "the preponderance of evidence" argument. "We think it would be a horrible travesty for someone innocent to be found guilty, and we need to weigh this social cost of erroneous decisions in determining the appropriate burden," Herman said. Other members of the task force advocated examining additional ways to increase the transparency of the COS process.
