Updates to career section

Hello, I work for Sian Beilock, and I have some suggestions of things that can be added to the Dartmouth College president subsection of the Career section:

In 2023, Beilock introduced a time away policy geared toward students who need to take a leave of absence during their studies.^[1]

In April 2024, she announced the creation of the Dartmouth Climate Collaboration, pledging $500 million towards the goal of eliminating carbon emissions on campus by 2050. The plan includes the installation of high-capacity heat pumps and a geoexchange system.^[2]^[3]

In October 2024, Beilock pledged that she would add 1,000 beds to campus within 10 years. The initiative kicked off with a $30 million donation from two alumni.^[4]^[5]

Thanks for your help, Ems1769 (talk) 00:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ems1769These seem like reasonable Neutral Point of View additions to me, so I'm going to add them. I think one of the general challenges with college president pages is that they can often seem kind of 'thin' unless there is some sort of campus controversy, so I think this info gives a broader sense of where the university is headed in the 5 to 15 year range. Of course others may have their own thoughts, but that's where I stand on them. Jjazz76 (talk) 18:40, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help, Jjazz76. I am working on some suggestions for the Palestinian protests subsection, I will hopefully post them here soon. I really appreciate your help. Ems1769 (talk) 14:09, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Palestinian protests subsection.

Hello, I am suggesting a rewrite for the second paragraph of the Palestinian protests subsection in order to make it more encyclopedic and concise. In this draft, I provide a more balanced account of events based on the sources, removing excess detail and including information that had been omitted:

In May 2024, approximately 90 students, faculty and community members who were protesting the Israel-Hamas War were taken into custody by the New Hampshire State Police.^[1]^[2]^[3] In an email following the arrests, Beilock stated that taking over the University’s shared spaces for ideological reasons is exclusionary and could lead to the intimidation of Jewish students as seen on other campuses.^[3] A week later, Beilock wrote in the student paper, The Dartmouth that she stood by her decision and noted she was "sorry for the harm this impossible decision has caused."^[4] On May 15, 2024, Dartmouth's undergraduate student body voted no confidence in Beilock.^[5] On May 20, 2024, Beilock was censured by a vote of 183 to 163 by the Dartmouth Faculty of Arts and Sciences over her response to the May 1 campus protest.^[6]^[7] The Dartmouth board unequivocally supported Beilock’s actions.^[3]

I hope you will consider updating the page. I am happy to discuss the specific changes if anyone would like.

I'm pinging Jjazz76, who was helpful with my last request.

Thank you, Ems1769 (talk) Ems1769 (talk) 14:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I re-wrote it based on your suggestions. I believe I was able to include most of them. Happy to discuss further as needed @Ems1769.

You might also want to post to: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Higher education if you want further voices. This of course has potential benefits, but also potential drawbacks. The situation with Claudine Gay, for example, had many, many editors weighing in, while Minouche Shafik at Columbia had only a few, as far as I recall for last year. Jjazz76 (talk) 03:42, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jjazz76. I appreciate your input and I think this section looks great! I do think it would be appropriate to add that the student journalists who were arrested at the protest were released, using the same source that's already cited in the article. Perhaps we could have the text read: Two student journalists from The Dartmouth reporting on the protest were among the arrested. They were released without charges.

Thanks again, Ems1769 (talk) 17:08, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added the quick dropping of charges against the two journalists. Jjazz76 (talk) 17:18, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
