Economics professor both teaches, befriends students

By Tara Kyle | January 21, 2002

While the recipient of Student Assembly's first Profiles in Excellence teaching award divides much of his time between researching, writing grant proposals and editing journals, Professor of Economics Jonathan Skinner does find room in his schedule for one extra class: teaching third graders to snowboard. "This is why you shouldn't go to the [Dartmouth] Skiway on a Wednesday afternoon," Skinner said. Skinner's casual, friendly manner and accessibility provide part of his appeal to students.

Wright debates athletic issues on NCAA board

By Kay Fukunaga | January 18, 2002

When it comes to intercollegiate athletics, Dartmouth College President James Wright does much more than just sit on the sidelines; he is a member of the 18-member NCAA Division I Board of Directors. Wright attended a meeting of the board this weekend in Indiana. "A lot of issues we discussed are ones that came up this year," Wright said. These include increasing the graduation rates of athletes, commercialism of college sports and the current length of athletic seasons. Another concern discussed at the meeting is that "the cost of intercollegiate athletics continues to climb," Wright said. "One [issue] that might affect Dartmouth is the possibility of some reduction in the length of competitive seasons or some reduction of off-season training." Wright also belongs to a task force made up of eight college presidents who are currently looking into eligibility standards, both at the time of an athlete's initial entrance into college and during his or her college career. "We are hoping to come up with a system that is somewhat more flexible than the current system," Wright said.
