Dartmouth Drops Five Programs Over Enrollment, Budget

Brock Fritz Headshot

The hits keep coming for Dartmouth College student-athletes. About 110 of them are without a team, as the Ivy League school in Hanover, N.H., announced Thursday that it “reluctantly concluded that the best path forward” was to immediately cutting the varsity programs for men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, and men’s lightweight rowing.

“I can assure you that these decisions were made with great care and with the long-term interests of the learning experience provided by Dartmouth Athletics front and center,” university president Philip J. Hanlon said, noting he consulted with athletic director Harry Sheehy, the Athletic Advisory Board and the Board of Trustees. “Harry and I realize that on top of what has already been a uniquely challenging year, this is deeply disappointing news. I remain fully committed to Dartmouth Athletics and am confident that the steps outlined here will make it a leaner but stronger program.”
