Sian Beilock, president of Dartmouth, has identified key issues plaguing higher education and proposed solutions to address them. The article, written by Eric Kelderman for the Chronicle of Higher Education, highlights her approach. However, her own campus community remains sharply divided on both her diagnosis and the proposed cures.
