Administrative Working Group Report
"[T]here is a general sense that the campus has become increasingly divided into 'silos' with individual offices, departments, and divisions feeling less connected to the mission, values, and priorities of the College."
--January 2007 Report from the Working Group on Administrative Communications and Culture, page 3

Dartmouth Swim Team Parent
"The [swimming] program faces hurdles that no other athletic program at Dartmouth has endured. These include a recent administration attempt to end the program, no college money for the program, arguably the worst facilities that any Dartmouth Division-1 team sport must tolerate and inarguably the worst aquatic facilities in the Ivy League and among the worst in D-1 swimming."

Jacob Baron ‘10
"Demonization of petition candidates has been rampant. Regarding the now-defeated Alumni Constitution, Peter Fahey '68, a former trustee himself, alleged that a "radical minority cabal" (guess who) is trying to "take over the Board of Trustees," which "could well lead the College into a downward spiral" ("Five Reasons to Vote, and Vote 'Yes,'" Sept. 21). President James Wright put it more subtly, but no less clearly, when he addressed the Alumni Council on Dec. 1, 2006. In his speech, he expressed doubt that the College would be able to maintain its stature, or even continue its operations, if any more petition candidates are elected. It is embarrassing that such politically motivated alarmism comes from such powerful offices."
