President Jim Yong Kim has said “everything is on the table” – but in the past, some areas were not considered for reductions. What are Dartmouth’s budget priorities?
“Our priorities are clear,” said President Kim in a message to the Dartmouth community on Oct. 9, 2009. “To enable the best students to attend Dartmouth, regardless of their financial means; to continue to attract superb faculty who are both great scholars and great teachers; and to build on our reputation as an exceptional place that offers a personalized educational experience for leaders who will shape the future.” That said, the College is re-examining all activities to determine what is core to its mission, in view of the serious financial challenges faced by Dartmouth as well as nearly every institution of higher education.
