As the Trump administration intensifies its battle with elite universities, one Ivy League school is lawyering up with a Trump ally.
Dartmouth College announced this week that it has tapped Matt Raymer, the former chief counsel at the Republican National Committee, to serve as the collegeβs top lawyer and senior vice president. Raymer will not only run the general counselβs office, but also serve on Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilockβs leadership team and advise the college on βlegal and strategic matters.β Raymer, who in January publicly backed President Donald Trumpβs push to end birthright citizenship, will also oversee the schoolβs Office of Visa and Immigration Services.
