Dartmouth at a Critical Inflection Point
Dartmouth should acknowledge its shared goals with the Trump administration while maintaining independence and collaboration with peer institutions.
A recent White House "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education" was sent to Dartmouth, along with eight other universities, including Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
- Admissions
- Hiring
- Tuition
- Endowment use
The compact offers preferential access to federal grants if universities adopt a 10-point framework governing nearly every aspect of academic life.
Some proposed measures seem reasonable when taken in isolation, including equality, affordability, and accountability.
Author's summary: Dartmouth faces a critical decision regarding the Compact.
