<p>Bayrunner, I think the issue is that the student body feels the 12 or so protestors are being given special treatment. The students who planned the Dimensions show put a lot of time and effort into ensuring a successful program, and it was ruined (against the code of conduct). While we all agree that these issues should be addressed, and we are glad to see steps being taken, this whole thing has been grossly mishandled. The administration has lost the confidence of the student body, the alumns, even a lot of the faculty. Everyone is thrilled that the new president will be there soon. On a positive note, my D attended the seminars and breakout sessions today, and she felt they were enlightening and very interesting. Real progress could be made here, but it sure would help if the students believed everyone was being held to the same standard of conduct. From what I heard, the protestors did have a forum during dimensions to relate their experiences. Overall, though, I’m very sad about this whole thing. Dartmouth is a wonderful community, and most of its attendees have very positive experiences there. I’m hoping positive change comes from all of this.</p>
