Faculty Draw the Line: Dartmouth Pushes Back on Federal Compact
It’s not every day that over five hundred professors at Dartmouth speak with one voice. But that’s what happened this October, when more than half the faculty signed a petition asking President Sian Leah Beilock to reject a federal compact tied to the Trump administration. The deal, pitched as a way to boost funding for research and infrastructure, comes with strings attached. Those strings, according to the petition, would cut into Dartmouth’s ability to govern itself and protect academic freedom. That’s a line many here aren’t willing to cross. The petition didn’t mince words. It said the compact would “undermine”
