Dear members of the Dartmouth community,
Recently several academic associations, including the American Studies
Association, have proposed or endorsed a boycott of
Israeli academic
institutions. I believe that academic boycotts restrict
the free exchange of
ideas that are at the heart of Dartmouth's dual mission to educate
citizen-leaders and advance the frontiers of knowledge. Collaboration,
especially across significant points of tension and difference, is essential to
fostering mutual understanding and solving the world's most complex problems.
As president, I am committed to ensuring that all members of the Dartmouth
community have the opportunity to engage in scholarly work across the globe,
including with academic institutions of Israel.
I respect the right of faculty, students, and staff to express their personal
opinions. While I do not support this boycott,
I hope that together we can work
to expand, rather than limit, engagement with our colleagues.
Sincerely,
Phil Hanlon '77
President
