IF I RAN …

he latest College investment is a $150,000,000 effort to endow Tten faculty clusters covering various intellectual disciplines. Sounds great, but what about other perhaps more pressing priorities around campus? So if leading Dartmouth College was based on real, more urgent needs, what might some of them be? Save money with fewer non-teaching staff and non- performing administrators? Need-blind admissions for international students? 1 A modern heating system? Refurbishing unhealthy dorms and dated classrooms? $20,961.45/yr2 to attend instead of the second highest tuition in the Ivies? True “diversity” and “inclusivity”: 50/50 liberal AND conservative policies instead of only left leaning? No double standard on disciplinary action? Competitive faculty salaries? Nah. All just pipe dreams. Let’s hear your ideas.
