StudentLifeInitiative
The Student Life Initiative (SLI) was the result of work by the trustees to ameliorate social life? and residential life of undergraduates at Dartmouth.
The trustees made a statement in February 1999:
"
The Board? has identified the following principles that should characterize the residential and social system at Dartmouth:
- There should be greater choice and continuity in residential living? and improved residential space?;
- There should be additional and improved social spaces? controlled by students;
- The system should be substantially coeducational and provide opportunities for greater interaction among all Dartmouth students;
- The number of students living off campus? should be reduced; and
- The abuse and unsafe use of alcohol? should be eliminated."

In January 2000, the
Committee on the Student Life Initiative? -- appointed to create a plan for effecting the wishes of the Trustees -- announced their report.
The
SLI has been
hotly debated? by the
Greek System? and others on the
Dartmouth campus.
