By Rini Ghosh | May 12, 1995

Linda Fowler, the new director of the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences, seems to fit right into the Dartmouth community: her husband went to Dartmouth, her son goes to Dartmouth and she loves the outdoors. Fowler, who was in Hanover visiting the College on Wednesday and Thursday, said in an interview with The Dartmouth that she has specific plans she hopes to implement at the College, but said she will wait until July to outline a more detailed proposal. "One of the things I need to do first is to figure out what needs the students and faculty have in terms of teaching and research that the [Rockefeller] Center could be addressing," she said. Fowler said she will meet with the Rockefeller Student Council and members of the faculty of the social sciences to hear their ideas when she officially takes over on July 1.

The mechanics of litigation at Dartmouth

By Jeffrey Beyer | May 11, 1995

When a person or a group brings a lawsuit against Dartmouth, the College has a set procedure but no set strategy for handling the case. The three top officials of the Legal Affairs Office -- Assistant College Counsel Alegra Biggs, College Counsel Cary Clark and Associate College Counsel Sean Gorman -- meet to discuss the College's strategy, Clark said. The three discuss defense strategies, which sometimes involve "engaging an outside lawyer to participate in the defense litigation," Clark said. According to Clark, the method of defending the litigation depends on the nature of the lawsuit, and there is no stated strategy the College employs to defend the litigation. "There is a whole range of types of litigation and each type requires a different way of preparing a defense," Clark said. Clark said where the suit is filed and the type of lawsuit are major issues in preparing a defense. The Legal Affairs Office can act independently, and is under no obligation to contact the College President's Office or other administrators. But Clark said the College Counsel often contacts administrators depending on the nature of a specific case. "If there are significant decisions to be made regarding the handling of the litigation then obviously I and the others on the legal staff would consult with the appropriate administrator," Clark said. Gorman said the money used to defend the College against lawsuits comes from the yearly operating budget, and no money is set aside in a special legal defense fund. Clark added that an additional budget is set aside for the payment of legal fees for outside counsel. "There is no real way of anticipating what's going to happen from one year to the next," Gorman said.

Faculty utilize D-Plan to facilitate research interests

By Amy Semet | May 11, 1995

Just like everybody else on campus, Dartmouth faculty members have very divided and strong opinions on the Dartmouth-Plan, the College's unique enrollment system that allows it to operate year-round. While many Dartmouth professors laud the Dartmouth Plan for the extended research opportunities and flexibility it offers to them, some faculty members say they feel the D-Plan is a threat to the College's intellectual community. According to Deputy Provost Bruce Pipes, faculty members largely support the D-Plan because it allows them to teach in the summer and take a term or two off during the year to do research. Taking terms off during the "regular" school year to do research is particularly attractive to faculty because they do not have to compete with professors from all around the country for library space, Pipes said. On the other side of the issue, perhaps the biggest complaint faculty members have about the D-Plan is that it severely disrupts educational continuity.
