By Nathaniel Ward | August 26, 2003

The College recently finished one of its largest-ever construction projects in the multimillion-dollar Berry Library and the adjacent Carson Hall.

College to report ski infractions to NCAA

By Kate Lyon | August 22, 2003

A routine audit conducted Spring term has directed scrutiny toward Dartmouth's ski team, revealing the College's possible failure to comply with National Collegiate Athletic Association rules. An internal routine rules compliance audit discovered possible violations of NCAA regulations, including competitions for individuals and teams that exceed NCAA limits and illegal individual benefits for training and competition beyond the Dartmouth ski team's competitive season, as well as infractions of coaching limits and responsibilities. These findings potentially effect both Nordic and Alpine competitors, as the two groups together comprise the Dartmouth Ski Team as a whole. An internal investigation of these infractions carried out by the institution is complete, Dartmouth officials said, though the report may be subject to review by the College's Office of Audit and Advisory Services before it is submitted to the NCAA in the next few weeks. According to Kay Hawes, associate director of media relations for the NCAA, the organization has rules governing numerous aspects of athletic competition that are voted on by the institutions.
