Over one hundred faculty members and several black students at The Dalton School have collaboratively issued a 24-point anti-racist manifesto calling for a range of institutional reforms to promote racial equity, increased diversity, and re-education initiatives. The demands include measures to adjust academic standards and diversify both staff and student body, reflecting a progressive approach to dismantling entrenched inequalities.

A leaked eight‐page memo from Dalton School staff detailing a comprehensive set of anti‐racist reforms—including changes in curriculum, hiring practices, vendor audits, and operational transparency—has sparked controversy, with some parents expressing opposition to the initiatives.

Faculty at The Dalton School released an anti-racism manifesto proposing sweeping curriculum reforms to integrate courses on Black liberation and challenges to white supremacy. The manifesto, signed by many faculty members, is intended to promote diversity, social justice, and equity. A school spokesperson, however, noted that the document was a set of thought-starters rather than an official policy, emphasizing the institution's commitment to consensus in defining equity and inclusion.
