Dartmouth Student Accused of ‘Endangering Lives

After Criticizing Campus Program that Rarely Hires Men
< >
A male student at Dartmouth College is facing a significant backlash to an op-ed he wrote in a student newspaper criticizing a campus program that hires mostly female students.
Dartmouth College Student Ryan Spector wrote a column in the Dartmouth College student newspaper, criticizing the college’s “Trips” program — which helps incoming students adjust to college life — for its nearly 5 to 1 hiring imbalance in favor of women.
“This year, the Trips directors’ obsession with diversity verges on the inane. Described as ‘majority female’ in The Dartmouth, this year’s directorate, excluding Pierson and Rodriguez-Caspeta, is nearly 80 percent female,” Spector wrote. “Yes — of the 19-person Trips directorate, there are merely four males on the staff.”
Spector provided a quote from the “Trips” program directors who claimed that all hiring decisions were made based on “merit” alone.
