As the Trump administration intensifies its battle with elite universities, one Ivy League school is lawyering up with a Trump ally.

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 college’s top lawyer and senior vice president. Raymer will not only run the general counsel’s office, but also serve on Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock’s leadership team and advise the college on “legal and strategic matters.” Raymer, who in January publicly backed President Donald Trump’s push to end birthright citizenship, will also oversee the school’s Office of Visa and Immigration Services.
