At its core, Brown is a diverse community of creators. Plays, experiments, computer code — everyone here makes something. Though most of us create out of passion, it’s not selfish to expect recognition for work every once in a while. I’m sure Hollywood’s denizens feel similarly. The Academy ...
To the Editor: The Brown University Greek Council supports the University’s efforts to promote a safer environment on Brown’s campus, and we acknowledge that, as we move forward, the Greek community must continue to evolve to further this goal. Throughout the past semester our new Greek Sexual ...
In May, President Christina Paxson P’19 formed the Task Force on Sexual Assault to confront the issue of sexual assault on campus.

Today’s paper marks our 121st and final issue as The Herald’s 124th Editorial Board. For the six of us, this issue signifies the end of three and a half years spent working on the paper alongside a dedicated editorial and business staff, to whom we owe an endless debt of gratitude. But we are not ...
As one of the union negotiators, I’d like to respond to Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Beppie Huidekoper’s Dec. 2 commentary on the current contract negotiations between library staff and the University. The union is not, as she states, asking Brown “to commit to having ...
Elizabeth “Beppie” Huidekoper is the executive vice president for finance and administration at the University. From what I can tell, she is very powerful. If Brown were an ATM machine, the pin number would probably be Huidekoper’s initials. I am very scared of her. I heard she once outsourced ...
On Sunday, the body of missing Ohio State University football player Kosta Karageorge was found in a dumpster. Officials believe the cause of death is suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot. Shortly before his disappearance a few days prior, he texted his mother, “I am sorry if I am an embarrassment ...
To the Editor: The Nov. 10 Herald article confirming that a Brown student was given a “date-rape” drug at a fraternity party and the subsequent Janus Forum debate and Professor Lindsay Orchowski presentation on rape culture research create an unprecedented opportunity for the University to act ...
Brown boasts a reputation as one of the happiest colleges in the country. This perception stigmatizes students navigating mental health concerns and minimizes healthy conversation around such topics. National trends in mental health reflect this concern. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill reports ...
In their first jobs and internships, students realize that the real world operates on a vastly different schedule than college. Work is done at the same time every day, and one cannot simply pull an all-nighter and then sleep through the next day’s lectures. Success is decided not by one all-encompassing ...
Through the long-standing arrangement between Brown and the Rhode Island School of Design, students have the opportunity to take courses at either of the Providence schools. This option opens RISD’s creative prowess to Brown and Brown’s range of departments to RISD. Unfortunately, the difficulty ...
As a Brown student, odds are you’re going to make a lot of money. You’re probably going to translate your Ivy League education into a lucrative and successful career. You’ll go into tech or consulting or finance, and you’ll make bank, partly because you’re good at what you do and partly because ...
Earlier this semester, The Herald conducted a poll of undergraduates to determine their views regarding athletes and athletics on campus. The results were hardly a surprise. Fifty-nine percent of the non-athlete portion of the student body expressed negative views regarding the reservation of admission ...
The new and improved Sex Week is slated for mid-March — you should get involved. The Sexual Health Education Empowerment Council and its co-chairs — Anna Hendrickson ’16, Alexandra Sepolen ’16 and Lytisha Wyatt ’15 — have been working hard to plan and promote 2015’s Sex Week. SHEEC, ...
President Paxson, I am writing to you on behalf of young alums. I am not speaking for all young alums, but for the many recent graduates from the classes of 2012, 2013 and 2014 whom I know well and speak to frequently. We are angry. We take the issue of campus sexual assault seriously. Lena Sclove’s ...
Updated Sunday, Dec. 7 at 8:53 p.m. The Brown community of students, faculty members and staff members is unique in its commitment to advancing fair, supportive and just treatment for all. It is this quality that has inspired interest in the current negotiations taking place between the University ...
The movement surrounding Ferguson and Michael Brown’s death is not merely a controversial issue, it is a civil rights issue. According to data from ProPublica, young black men are “21 times as likely as their white peers to be killed by police.” Furthermore, “blacks, age 15 to 19, were killed ...
We all carry the memory of special people in our soul. We grow with these individuals, age with them. As we develop our own senses, we watch what were once the mighty oaks of our childhood dwindle and dwarf before us. It is far too often that our rosy memories of these titans of our youth transform ...
Nov. 24 at 9:37 p.m., aboard a Southwest Airlines flight from New York City to Atlanta.
