Since 2000, the paper has continued to play an important, albeit more moderate, role in the College's political discourse. Between 2001 and 2005, it became a critical force behind a series of governance fights in which the school's alumni attempted to reassert their influence over the trustee selection process. In what came to be known as the “Lone Pine Revolution,” a plurality of alums succeeded in independently nominating and electing four trustees who were critical of the College's stance on issues concerning free speech, athletics, alumni rights, and the curriculum. Among them were Peter Robinson, a member of the Class of 1979 and an early contributor to "The Dartmouth Review", and Todd Zywicki, a member of the class of 1988 and a vocal critic of the Freedman administration. The two would later observe that their campaigns were aided immensely by "The Dartmouth Review" and its favorable coverage of them.
