There’s something important going on in Hanover, New Hampshire right now. Dartmouth College may be about to announce that two conservative trustee candidates--Peter Robinson and Todd Zywicki--have successfully petitioned their way onto the College’s board of trustees. As for the establishment omerta that has kept conservative leaders out of the governing bodies of our top schools, this may just be one more battle won in the effort to retake the universities. Stay tuned for the official announcement. For more background on the bureaucratic loophole that has already put one petition candidate (T. J. Rodgers) on the Dartmouth board in the last year, see Roger L. Simon, Powerline, and our own Stefan Beck. 4 P.M UPDATE: The Dartmouth Review is now confirming Robinson/Zywicki victories. 5:45 UPDATE: It’s official! FRIDAY UPDATE: Asute blog reader Paul Nelson wins the prize for noticing that the overhead shot of ’the campus,’ above, "is not Dartmouth or Hanover. I recently saw the same photo in some story about North Korea’s nuclear program (fuel reprocessing site?). Unless of course the new trustees will cause Dartmouth President Wright to ’go nuclear’!"
