Background
Welcome to the Economic Equity Initiative and Class Divide resources web
page. These two campus-wide projects aim to address issues of
socio-economic class at Dartmouth College and in the Upper Valley community in
a variety of ways. The Hopkins Center's multi-year Class Divide is the
first substantial cross-campus/community project in the country to examine the
issue of class through the arts. The Economic Equity Initiative is an ongoing
campus project that explores the meanings and workings of socio-economic class
at Dartmouth and is devoted to providing resources, encouraging coordination of
efforts, identifying needs, and recommending new approaches with regard; it is
jointly coordinated by the Office of Institutional Diversity & Equity, the
Office of
Pluralism & Leadership, and the Tucker Foundation.
