Summary

Dartmouth, an organization facing significant challenges in higher education, is actively addressing issues such as the eroding business model, declining public trust, and the impact of student loan debt. President Sian Beilock has emphasized the need for improved viewpoint diversity, arguing that DEI and merit are not mutually exclusive and highlighting the importance of institutional neutrality and free expression, with the University of Chicago cited as a model. Dartmouth has also taken steps to reinstate the SAT and foster bipartisan student political unions to encourage civil discourse. These efforts come amidst broader concerns within the Ivy League and higher education, including the effects of Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action, a decline in K-12 education preparedness, and the potential disruption of AI, while also defending the university's role in preparing students for the future of work and the crucial role of university endowments funded by philanthropy.
