“[T]he bureaucrats themselves seem unclear on how many professors we have.  Elsewhere on Dartmouth’s website — on the ‘Facts’ page under ‘Ask Dartmouth’ — the current number of tenure-track Arts and Sciences faculty is listed as 363, nine less than the number listed in ‘Ask Dartmouth.’”

  • Noam Chomsky

    "If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."

  • Anonymous Dartmouth Professor

    "When I look into the future, I don't see signals that the balance [between teaching and research] will be maintained. And I think research will win out. This institution thinks that because in the past it has cared about teaching, it can take it for granted. And I don't think you can do that."

  • Jacob Baron ‘10

    "Dartmouth talks a great list.  Its promotional materials inevitably convey the image that small classes and close student-faculty interaction are top priorities.  But Dartmouth . . . is never particularly candid about how it spends its money.  And there is reason to believe that to the people who control how the dollars get spent, ensuring small classes is not a priority at all."
