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.”

    "A pattern is emerging, and it ought to be a disturbing one for people who believe that -- shock of shocks! -- educating students ought to be the College's top priority. Through their actions, Dartmouth's administrators have made it clear that, when it comes to their list of priorities, education is not at the top. Not by a long shot."
