Haha. I have one D doing exactly that and another D working in the investment banking division of a large bank. But I believe both of them would sympathize with the students.</p>

<p>I’m totally fine with protests taking place on public school campuses; accountability for how tax dollars are spent is a good thing (although this doesn’t apply so much anymore to the UCs). It is different at a tiny elite private school like Dartmouth. Like these poor kids had no other choice but to attend this oppressive school. Boo hoo. </p>

<p>From a PR and political strategic way of thinking…better to let them protest and provoke positive fruitful discussions/allow them to make a spectacle of themselves rather than crack down and be viewed as your stereotypical Dean Wormer or Douglas C. Neidermayer. </p>

<p>I may be giving this Dartmouth administration too much credit…but it seems they’ve probably taken a page out of “The Art of War”, judo, and wrestling…</p>

<p>They also probably don’t want to end up like Neidermayer in this video:</p>
