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.
