President Sian Beilock sent a message with students, faculty, staff, and alumni about Standing Up for Higher Education and Our Values. In this message, the president shared that Dartmouth will never relent on its core values of institutional independence and open inquiry and called out threats to Harvard's tax-exempt status as a fundamental violation of academic freedom and free expression.

Vice Provost for Research Dean Madden and Office of Sponsored Projects Director Jill Mortali shared a message with faculty and staff about a judge’s decision to pause the cap on indirect costs for Department of Energy grants. Dartmouth senior leaders and the Office of General Counsel contributed language to that lawsuit, ensuring the court would be made aware of the harm that such an action would have caused.

Provost David Kotz ’86 sent a message to faculty and staff about tracking federal award cancellations and the financial support available for impacted researchers. The message included news that the National Endowment for the Humanities froze Dartmouth’s access to funds for several awards without notice and that the National Institutes of Health would not renew a few active grants past their current funding year.

The Department of Energy announced implementation of a 15% facilities and administrative rate (also known as indirect costs) for all institutions. In response, Dartmouth submitted a declaration under oath outlining the harm this would cause the institution that was included in a lawsuit filed by the American Association of Universities and other plaintiffs in ongoing legal proceedings.

Dartmouth began collaborating with the New Hampshire congressional delegation to address issues related to SEVIS record terminations affecting a few Dartmouth community members.
