With several English Department faculty on leave, on associate status or recently retired, the department is facing staffing concerns, and no replacement positions have been approved by the Educational Affairs Committee (EAC). According to Professor of American Literature Brett Millier, who retired last spring, the department’s proposal for her replacement was denied.

In August of 2021, the Taliban’s violent takeover of Afghanistan halted the education of millions of women. In 2023, Taniya Noori ’25.5 made it possible for a few of them to continue.

As a super senior graduating this coming February, my college experience has spanned two distinct eras: before artificial intelligence (AI) and after AI. My introduction to AI came over Christmas break in 2022, when my tech-obsessed father showed me ChatGPT. My family crowded around my laptop, collectively testing its responses with wide-eyed curiosity. Back then, I felt ahead of the curve, part of a small group witnessing the dawn of something that might change the world. Three years later, as I prepare to graduate, I feel the opposite.

At the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN) Food Hub on Oct. 3, a crowd gathered to celebrate the signing of an agreement between Vermont Way Foods, a local farm, and Migrant Justice’s Milk with Dignity. There was cheese tasting, music, Mexican food, and a Vermont staple, Ben & Jerry’s, which signed a similar deal with the organization back in 2017.

In September, the Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life relocated from its temporary location at 46 South Street to its original space in the Hathaway House at 135 South Main Street. In 2021, the center was displaced to make room for student quarantine rooms due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Approximately 50 students filled Twilight Auditorium last Thursday afternoon to hear economist Gary Hoover argue that America's promise of economic mobility may be more of a lottery than a ladder. The talk, part of the D.K. Smith Economic Lecture Series, featured Hoover promoting his book “Ladder or Lottery: Economic Promises and the Reality of Who Gets Ahead.” With his baritone voice carrying a hint of a southern accent, the Executive Director of the Murphy Institute at Tulane University held the audience's attention for an hour. College President Ian Baucom was among those in attendance.

If the professoriate is your true calling, reality dictates that you go where the openings are, rather than where you wish to be. My experience of the job market was a continental compass tour: As a graduate student, the process landed me at campus visits in Virginia and Texas, and later, as a postdoctoral fellow, in Utah and Vermont. I was quite happy in my postdoctoral position, researching and teaching in New Jersey, and I did not have to leave. I, however, had the rare opportunity to go somewhere I wanted to be. When the offer came from Middlebury College, I did not hesitate.

When someone places a shot glass filled with beet soup in front of you, you take a sip. When you remember the beets were grown less than a mile away, you take another.

The design and construction of New Battell came with yet another upgrade this fall: a composting system. Bins designated for food waste were placed in lounge kitchens and garbage rooms, giving New Battell residents the opportunity to dispose of their scraps sustainably. Facilities hope to use the new composting options as a test to gauge students’ engagement with the system.

The Chateau marked its 100th birthday on Saturday, welcoming French Department alumni, students and professors for a celebration of its legacy. The dorm was the first of its kind in the U.S., a maison française or “french house” conceived and built with the purpose of speaking only French inside in mind. With its iconic dormers and peaked towers, the building has long stood out among the campus’s predominantly gray-stone Georgian architecture.

This letter to the editor from the Middlebury College Republicans is a response to the Editorial Board’s (E.B.) piece titled “To Maintain Free Speech, Start Listening,” published in the Sept. 18 issue of The Campus. I am leading the writing of this letter with the consultation of club members, including Dylan Carroll and Erin Faith Fuller, among others. In their piece, the E.B. has characterized their position as being supportive of free speech. However, a close reading of their argument reveals that they paradoxically take a position leaning in favor of censorship and intolerance rather than any legitimate form of free speech.

When the Center for Health and Wellness (CHW) recently announced the termination of the MiddSafe Hotline and Mental Health Peer Educators (MPHE) program, it cited a lack of student use as the reason. They pointed to the increase in mental health resources in the CHW as having supplemented the need for the hotline. They announced that their new program, Peers Educating for Affirming Relations (PEAR), will absorb the responsibilities of both MiddSafe and MPHE.

When I last wrote an op-ed about artificial intelligence (AI) in 2024, submissions created with the technology had sneakily won several art and photography contests. Now, it is consistently deceiving hundreds of thousands of internet users every day. Its content creation capabilities have improved so drastically that AI has officially breached into mainstream media with its use in postproduction effects for Netflix’s show “The Eternaut.” It is safe to say that, up to this point, at least, AI progress has been exponential.

With the decision to shut down several programs at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS) within two years finalized, Monterey-based faculty, staff and students are mourning the future of their school. On the other side of the country, the Vermont community has commended the choice, but is left wondering what the pivot will really change in the short term considering the college’s persisting budget deficit. Administrators have decisions to make about what is to come for two campuses that, though thousands of miles apart, have been intertwined for 20 years.

I am a first year at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey pursuing a degree in Environmental Policy and Management (EPM). I may not be a student here for much longer.

The college decided to close its graduate campus, the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS), leaving us surprised at the speed of this decision and cautiously optimistic about what it will mean for Middlebury’s future. After facing large budget cuts and changes to workplace benefits, students and staff at Middlebury have recently campaigned for the closure of the Institute, building on an idea that has been on the minds of some faculty members for several years due to MIIS’ financial strain. Last spring's walkout, various op-eds from faculty and students in The Campus, and our own Editorial Board’s call for the closure of MIIS crystallized the desire for change. We commend President Baucom’s quick decision to heed the voices of our most forthright faculty, staff, and students. It is one that will shape his legacy and our perception of him as a decisive leader. But we will not waste a moment before asking what this will mean for the college going forward besides a partially salvaged budget and an unsettled definition of what our school really is.

For many college students at institutions like ours, “finance”, “consulting” and “big law” have become catch-all terms that describe the failures and inequalities of the American economy. It comes as no surprise, then, that the announcement of Chuck Davis as our commencement speaker was met with widespread consternation. We are glad that the school’s choice has inspired such debate and would like to contribute our own small piece to address some of the concerns that have been raised in The Campus and elsewhere.

All good things must come to an end — even for Middlebury women’s lacrosse.
