Dartmouth College, led by President Sian Beilock, remains intact amidst funding threats against other Ivy League institutions from the Trump administration. While about 600 college leaders, including those from most Ivy schools, signed a letter opposing the administration's interference, Beilock chose to write a personal letter emphasizing the importance of higher education's integrity. Her stance has allowed Dartmouth to avoid the scrutiny and funding issues affecting its peers, even as several schools face investigations for antisemitism and other challenges. Supporters view Beilock as a champion of free expression, contributing to an atmosphere of diverse viewpoints on campus.
Sian Beilock's unique approach as Dartmouth's president, focusing on a commitment to knowledge and criticism, has kept the college off the Trump administration's radar.
Beilock's refusal to sign a collective statement against the Trump administration has been interpreted as an act of independence, helping to maintain Dartmouth's funding stability.
