Columbia University had its class reunion this weekend. And along with alumni like me trying to relive their college years, pro-Palestinian protesters came back to campus. While some students picketed outside, urging alumni not to donate to the university, another group inside the campus gates set up an "encampment-style installation" titled "Revolt for Rafah: Installation I." Protesters unfurled a banner that stated "we're back, bitches." Later, they erected a scale model of a Mark 84 bomb, an American-made 2,000-pound weapon used by the Israeli military, next to a map of upper Manhattan show...

In April, Texas state police tangled with University of Texas at Austin student protesters, pushing them off the campus and sending some into the streets. The protest began when students walked out of class with demands that the university divest from manufacturers supplying weapons to Israel in the ongoing war in Gaza. Gov. Greg Abbott posted on X, "Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period," teeing up challenges about whether the move complied with the First Amendment. The post ...

A gray-haired Dartmouth professor was tackled, zip-tied, and detained on May 1 along with about 90 other protesters. "I've been teaching here for 34 years," Annelise Orleck told The New York Times after video of the arrest went viral. "There have been many protests, but I've never, ever seen riot police called to the green." Much of the debate about the campus protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war has centered—quite reasonably—on questions around free speech, civil disobedience, and violence. When do chants become threats? When does blocking access to a building become the use of force? Les...

Mega-Talent Caitlin Clark hat das letzte Basketballspiel ihrer College-Karriere verloren und mit den Iowa Hawkeyes im Finale gegen die South Carolina Gamecocks die Meisterschaft verpasst. In Cleveland verlor ihr Team 75:87. Die 22-Jährige, die dank Werbedeals schon jetzt mehrere Millionen US-Dollar verdient hat und auch von Stars aus der NBA für ihre Fähigkeiten gepriesen wird, wechselt zur kommenden Saison in den Profisport - und landet aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach bei den Indiana Fever aus der WNBA. «Es ist schwierig, sowas zu gewinnen. Wenige wissen das besser als ich. Zweimal so nah dran ...

Harvard University recently announced that it has removed human skin from a book that was available in its library. The skin, from an anonymous woman, was used to make the binding for the book Des destinées de l’âme, and a Harvard panel decided that it no longer had a place in its collections, Knewz.com has learned. The book had been in Harvard's library since 1934. It was first published in 1879 by French author Arsène Houssaye. "We apologize on behalf of Harvard Library for past failures in our stewardship of the book that further objectified and compromised the dignity of the human being at...

Washington (AFP) - Men's basketball players at Dartmouth College voted 13-2 to join a union Tuesday, an unprecedented move that could signal major changes in the multi-billion-dollar world of American college sports. The National Labor Relations Board supervised the vote, which saw the players join Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 560, which represents other Dartmouth workers. An NLRB regional director ruled last month that players were school employees, although Dartmouth officials said they filed an appeal of that decision Tuesday. The vote represents their first action as ...
