<p>I think it’s important to recognize the truly limited scope of this “protest”. It is not as if the entire campus is in turmoil. Yes, they did occupy the President’s office, and some marched outside from time to time. Yes, some of their demands are naïve, maybe even silly, but some are genuinely important. Yes, this adds more to Dartmouth’s recent bad press. But according to my two daughters at Dartmouth, this had no real impact on the process of education. Except for occasionally seeing the outside demonstrators when walking across campus, it was otherwise a mild event for most students, if not for the administration. </p>
