To the Dartmouth community
We have begun the process of reviewing Dartmouth's financial situation and the goal to identify $100 million in expense reductions or new revenues for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. These numbers entail serious downsizing. Our planning efforts will be intensive and fast-paced, and will include all of Dartmouth - each division, department, and school.
We are committed to working with colleagues across this institution to ensure our operations are as effective and efficient as possible. We will seek input from faculty, students, and staff about strategic cuts and investments, and ideas for new revenues and innovative opportunities.
As you navigate this website, you will find updates on Dartmouth’s priorities, budget, and endowment; lists of suggestions made and actions already taken to address the budget gap; and other information. We also encourage you to submit your questions and suggestions, which we will review on a regular basis.
We are grateful for the contributions you make to Dartmouth each day, and we appreciate your involvement in the process.
