A week after the conclusion of the Dartmouth Summit on Sexual Assault, national experts and Dartmouth faculty and students interviewed spoke in generally positive terms about the event. Participants and national leaders in the field praised the College for the wide variety of expert
attendees but also urged a continued focus on the dynamics of sexual assault, not just compliance with federal policies and regulations. From its announcement to its completion last week, the College’s summit caught and held the eye of the national media. Reporting on July 15, Time Magazine quoted several speakers, including Representative Ann Kuster
’78 and Catherine Lhamon of the Department of Education’s office of Civil Rights, and noted that Dartmouth is “certainly talking” about the issue of sexual assault.

More than 300 members of the Co-op food store attended a meeting on the firing of two long-time employees this Wednesday, held at Hanover High. Members of the Lebanon store debated the decision for approximately two hours. A reporter from The Dartmouth was not allowed entry to the meeting. The Board of Directors decided to allow entry to only one reporter, from a non-student publication, Coop director of merchandising Bruce Follett said. Follet declined to comment

Some members voiced dissatisfaction with manner in which the employees, wine section manager Daniel King and cheese counter clerk John Boutin, were fired without notice from the Lebanon store in June, the Valley News reported.
