Woon resigns as head of pluralism office

By Gus Lûbin | June 27, 2006

Courtesy of Tommy Lee Woon Tommy Lee Woon, the first associate dean of the Office of Pluralism and Leadership, announced Monday that he will leave his current position to become Dean of Multicultural Affairs at Macalester College in Minnesota, citing family considerations. Woon told The Dartmouth that his decision centered on his wife's difficulties in finding a job in the Hanover area, saying that it would be easier for her to find work in an urban setting. College administrators expressed their commitment to replacing Woon, who will depart in mid-August, and to maintaining the once-controversial office, which "aims to universalize diversity and leadership development," according to the OPAL website. "We might not launch the search [for a replacement] right now but there should be absolutely no concern on anyone's part that this work will not continue," Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia said. The creation of OPAL and Woon's deanship during a financial crunch in 2003 was criticized by some alumni and The Dartmouth Review as a waste of resources.

AD search yields no sought-after evidence

Hanover Police returned nearly all materials removed from Alpha Delta fraternity in a June 8 search of the physical plant without having found the sexually explicit video they were looking for. The fraternity's alumni advisor John Engelman said that Hanover Police Captain Frank Moran returned all confiscated materials to him except for a computer that was still being examined, and that Moran told him that police found nothing related to the case. "I suspect that they may have in the intervening week looked at the files on the computer and I'm absolutely confident that they will not find anything that's related to the investigation," Engelman said. Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone would not comment last week on anything related to the ongoing investigation, which began in the fall of 2004, and would not verify whether any police officers spoke with Engelman about the outcome of the search.

Trustees approve $385 million budget

By Phil Salinger | June 22, 2006

The Board of Trustees finalized the College's budget for fiscal year 2007, broadened Dartmouth's nondiscrimination policy and re-elected three of its members at its meeting in Hanover June 8-11, held before the Trustees participated in Commencement exercises on June 12. The Board approved the College's 2007 operating budget of $384.9 million, a figure that does not include the budgets for Dartmouth's professional schools. According to a press release, the priorities set forth in the College budget include expanding the faculty to reduce class size, maintaining competitive faculty compensation, supporting the financial aid program and the various construction projects around campus and expanding information technology resources. Within the budget, the Board allocates hiring funds, but has no say over how those funds are to be split between departments. "It's certainly not the Board's decision to decide where the positions are to be allocated," College President James Wright said.
