In an email statement to The Dartmouth, co-presidents of the Jewish Alumni Group Joie Jager-Hyman ’00 and Brian Taylor ’06
condemned the attack. “There is no symbol more abhorrent to the Jewish community — and to all who stand against hate — than the swastika,” they wrote. “Its reappearance on Dartmouth’s campus, for the second time in just two weeks, strikes at the heart of our community.”

Founders of the Dartmouth Jewish Alumni Group Joie Jager Hyman ’00 and Brian Taylor ’06 expressed their gratitude to President Beilock in an email statement to The Dartmouth. “As alumni, we are committed to working alongside Dartmouth to strengthen a community where Jewish students — and all students — can flourish without fear,” they wrote. “We urge continued accountability, education and vigilance, and we pledge to remain engaged in building a campus climate grounded in dignity and respect.”

Unlike so many college administrators who failed to act when confronted with mobs of students and professors who created unproductive and unsafe environments, Beilock — with great clarity of purpose and moral conviction — warned protesters that their actions would have consequences.

“The public is aware how seriously Dartmouth is addressing these claims of sexual misconduct by the professors,” Taylor said. 

Taylor said that this effort falls in line with Dartmouth’s admissions strategy in general. “Students who seek a better world are precisely the kind of students that the College on the Hill seeks in its incoming class,” she said.

Bev Taylor said this year’s numbers represent the biggest spike in total applications received since 2015.
