2026-09-25In last week’s edition of Carleton Today, amidst announcements of grants-only financial aid policies and faculty retirements, Carleton College President Alison Byerly embarked on a small-text series of “strategic moves” that she said “everyone would be thrilled with.” The actions, aptly dubbed “the Carleton Plan,” would change the names of a variety of landmarks around Northfield and beyond.
