Speaking as an Ivy alumn (Princeton), I am NOT surprised by Dartmouth's absence, they've always been the most conservative douchebaggy of the Ivies, it's their brand. Columbia has now signed (as of 3:00), which may count for Barnard.

Of my family universities, Princeton (me & Dirk) & Wesleyan (Beth) have been out in front on this--Michael Roth, President of Wes, was writing op-eds & making statements *months* before the other universities got in gear. Penn (my grad school) is a signatory. U. Wisconsin-Madison, where my parents met & got their grad degrees, has signed, as has Colby (my brother).

Univ. Connecticut, where Dad taught for the last 20 years of his career, has *not*. Neither has University of Chicago (Mom's Master's) or Georgetown (Dad's Master's), nor Brandeis (kid #2).
