<p>As a member of the class of 2011 at Dartmouth, I absolutely agree with everyone in that this debate has no short-term impact on the quality of education here - it is simply a non-issue. In the longer term, I suspect this will continue to be an issue for concerned alumni (and despite being an undergraduate student here, I don’t entirely agree with OdysseyTiger’s views) - but this group of alumni will most likely include those of us graduating in a few years.</p>
<p>The students who ought to be worried are those thinking about applying to Dartmouth (be it for graduate or undergraduate studies) in a couple of decades (i.e. most of these people are not even born yet, or still infants).</p>
