Distinguished Alums at UVA
If I am a little late with this post, I will submit my three midterms over the past two days as a possible excuse. Despite being a bit late I thought the Dartmouth connections in this story interesting enough to submit for your consideration.
Last week, the University of Virginia Law School announced, in nicer terms than the following, that they had stolen constitutional law professor Frederick Schauer from Harvard Law School. Schauer, Dartmouth class of ’67 and Tuck School of Business ’68, has written widely on topics of free speech and press, legal theory and reasoning, political philosophy, and constitutional law.
Said one of his former colleagues at Harvard, “Fred Schauer is a genuine superstar. He has written on a dizzying array of subjects, and his work is at the forefront of every field that he addresses.” Schauer will join another distinguished Dartmouth alumnus at UVA law, Trustee Stephen Smith ’88!

Fare Thee Well, Tom Crady
And now Dean Tom Crady has precipitously announced his departure from the College after only 20 months on the job. How to read this? By way of background, prior to coming to Dartmouth, Crady had… -

Kangaroo Court, Indeed
In an interview with The Dartmouth, alumni-elected trustee T.J. Rodgers ‘70 explained his reasons for declining to participate in future evaluations of trustees up for “re-election,” namely the “kangaroo court” nature of such discussion in…
