Throughout its history, "The Dartmouth Review" has met opposition for its controversial use of the College's name. Many critics of the paper have claimed that because it does not have any institutional affiliation with Dartmouth and because its social stances are perceived to be inimical to the values of the school, the paper should be forced to change its name. For its part, "The Review" has resisted such charges by reminding opponents that many of Hanover's independent shops and businesses have adopted the college's name. As a result, requiring a political organization to strike “Dartmouth” from its title would be seen as a selective infringement on free speech and would set a dangerous precedent for future abuse.
