Peer institutions also respond to losses with cuts

By PAULINA KARPIS | November 8, 2009

After making significant cuts to operating budgets last winter, Dartmouth's peer institutions have again embarked on cost cutting this fall in light of endowment returns that continue to drop, while attempting to maintain financial aid programs and protect the quality of the student experience. "Colleges are trying as much as possible to preserve faculty and support services for students, and are looking for inefficiencies in the way they deliver non-academic services," Cornell Higher Education Research Institute director Ronald Ehrenberg said in an interview with The Dartmouth.

Relatively few students become nat'l scholars

By Brendan Woods | November 5, 2009

Adam Levine '08, a Rhodes scholar currently studying for a Ph.D at the University of Oxford, has noticed something about the composition of his current group of peers. "Being on the ground at Oxford, I'm aware that there are very few Rhodes Scholars from Dartmouth," Levine told The Dartmouth this week. Levine's observation belies a larger numerical trend at the College: In recent years, fewer Dartmouth students have been awarded Marshall, Mitchell or Rhodes scholarships than students at many of the College's peer institutions. The 84 students from institutions across the United States who will receive the three scholarships will be announced in late November. Dartmouth currently has one finalist for the Marshall Scholarship, which funds students to study for at least two years at any university in the United Kingdom, and two finalists for the Mitchell Scholarship, which gives students a grant to study for one year in Ireland, according to assistant dean for scholarship advising Kristin O'Rourke.

Students face visa complications

By Emily Fletcher | November 5, 2009

Dartmouth frequently warns international students to avoid College disciplinary action or legal troubles in order to maintain a legal residency status, but the specific consequences of "breaking the rules" are not well explained, according to International Student Association co-president Mela Omeri '12. "If you are caught drinking by [Hanover Police], your visa gets suspended and you go home, and your Dartmouth career is over," Omeri said, referring to the general perception among international students. In fact, Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone said the consequences of arrests for minor offenses are similar for international students and citizens. Because of international agreements, though, Hanover Police must notify certain countries when one of their citizens is arrested. "I think it's more or less so the embassy knows that one of their citizens has been arrested if there are complications," Giaccone said. One international student has been arrested since the start of Fall term, and his home country's embassy did not require notification, Giaccone said. The U.S.

College expands presence in town

By Elise Quinones | November 4, 2009

JOANNE NURSE / The Dartmouth Many Hanover residents, accustomed to the town's colorful storefronts and busy streets, likely would not wax nostalgic for the town as it was just 20 years ago, when the downtown area was populated with "tired, broken-down houses," Sonya Campbell, owner of Hanover True Value hardware store, told The Dartmouth this week. Much of the town's recent development has come at the hands of Dartmouth itself, Campbell, who has worked in Hanover for 33 years, said, recalling how various downtown Hanover properties were purchased and revitalized by the College. Dartmouth's planned Visual Arts Center, which is expected to be completed in fall 2011, will be the next step in the College's recent expansion into Hanover's downtown area. The College has owned property in Hanover since 1884, when it purchased the Hanover Inn.
