Accessibility is still a concern

|

Sarah Irving / The Dartmouth Staff Almost five months after the release of a student report arguing that the College's Accessibility Services Office fails to provide students with disabilities the accommodations they need, several students with physical disabilities, in interviews with The Dartmouth, said the College has made progress addressing their difficulties, while students with learning disabilities were critical of the quality of services they receive. Dean of Faculty Carol Folt, who now also serves as interim provost, and acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears sent a letter to faculty at the beginning of Fall term reminding professors that they must comply with authorized accommodations for students.

Greek leaders work to improve public image

While the role of Dartmouth's Greek system has been the subject of perennial debate at the College, leaders in the College's Greek system told The Dartmouth this week that, in recent months, they have sought to step up efforts to address the public image of Greek organizations, attempting to expand outreach efforts and combat stereotypes. In a September interview with The Dartmouth, College President Jim Yong Kim said that the College's Greek organizations have a "public relations problem." While the Dartmouth Greek system is an important aspect of the College's social system, prospective students more often view Greek life neutrally or negatively than positively, Kim said in an interview with The Dartmouth at that time. "I don't think that the current image of Dartmouth College out there reflects in any way what Dartmouth College is, and I think it's on the negative side," Kim said.
