- "Founded in 1769, Dartmouth is a member of the Ivy League and consistently ranks among the world’s greatest academic institutions. Home to a celebrated liberal arts curriculum and pioneering professional schools, Dartmouth has shaped the education landscape and prepared leaders through its inspirational learning experience. "Dartmouth is home to about 4,200 undergraduates in the liberal arts and 1,900 graduate students in more than 25 advanced degree programs in the Arts & Sciences and at Dartmouth’s professional schools: the Geisel School of Medicine, the nation’s fourth-oldest medical school; Thayer School of Engineering, one of the nation’s first professional schools of engineering; and the Tuck School of Business, the world’s first graduate school of management."

- General Information
- Dartmouth College has taken two steps to placate advocates of critical race theory and anti-racism. First, it took down the Indian from Baker Library Weather Vane, since students advocates believed it was offensive. Additionally, the president and trustees made anti-bias training mandatory for all students, staff, and faculty. See developments below:
