Protests echo across campuses nationwide - VICTORIA NELSEN AND MARINA SHKURATOV, The Dartmouth Staff
In recent months, colleges across the country have seen a spate of demonstrations regarding issues of identity, with students demanding greater inclusivity on their campuses. Many resemble Dartmouth’s April “Freedom Budget” protests, when over a dozen students occupied College President Phil Hanlon’s office for two days, demanding a point-by-point response to a list of over 70 demands regarding issues of diversity. In the last year, students at Princeton University, Harvard University, Oberlin College, Mills College, University of Michigan, City University of New York, Mount Holyoke College and University of California at Los Angeles, among others, have initiated protests concerning similar issues.
