On Feb. 17, members of pro-Palestinian campus groups at Harvard reportedly began circulating a cartoon on social media channels depicting boxer Muhammad Ali and former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser being hung by a golden chain held by a hand displaying a star of David and dollar sign. ...
While it seems that activism on college campuses has been at an all-time high, the death of Alexsei Navalny has not incited the outrage from students that it warrants. Whether this is rooted in an exhaustion of foreign geopolitical care or a disregard for the Russian opposition movement is irrelevant. ...
To the Editor:
I am very disappointed with the latest op-ed written by jonath ’24 and Rosenzweig ’24. The authors are uninformed as to what Jonathan Greenblatt actually said. If they had stuck around for more than four minutes, they would know that he discussed far-right racism and antisemitism at length, giving ...
At the Olympics, each track event starts with nearly 50 competitors in “heats,” where a certain relative time is required to reach the next round. The field is slowly whittled down until about 10 advance to the final.
Friday and Saturday night mark perhaps the most important Brown men’s basketball games in over a decade.
In a hearing before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, then-Presidents Liz Magill of Penn and Claudine Gay of Harvard, as well as President Sally Kornbluth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, were asked if “calling for the genocide of Jews” violates each president’s ...
On Feb. 22, Brown’s Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity hosted Jonathan Greenblatt, the director of the Anti-Defamation League, to give a talk titled “An Evening with Jonathan Greenblatt.” We are the Jewish students who initiated a walkout during Greenblatt’s talk, along with ...
The purpose of the Class Coordinating Board is to plan events. Yet, despite being an organization that is supposed to represent the student body, CCB has a track record of being undemocratic. I find it concerning that members of CCB are now attempting to compensate themselves using University funds. ...
In a fast-paced world, our generation’s obsession with the new is pervasive. From the latest smartphone to fleeting fashion trends, we have grown up in a society caught in an incessant cycle of novelty. This fixation with the new has become deeply ingrained in our culture, shaping our consumer behaviors, ...
This semester, there is a new phrase haunting professors’ syllabi: artificial intelligence. Each course seems to have a different statement on AI: For some classes, the use of AI is defined as plagiarism; for others, it is permitted as long as students cite how the technology was used. Some ...
I first sought to write this column about how competitive classes and tedious waitlists plague the literary arts department. I was ready to argue that Brown must reform the department’s exclusive seminars and complicated registration processes making it the nebulous, untouchable bastion of ‘not ...
In early February, Brown announced that the University would once again raise tuition by 4.5%, bringing annual tuition to $68,612 and total direct charges to $88,856. Since 2013, Brown’s tuition has gone up every year, increasing by over 46% in 10 years. And while Brown gives some of the most generous ...
I’ve just come from the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity’s “Evening with Jonathan Greenblatt.” I admire the ADL and Greenblatt — and I commend OIED for bringing his voice to campus — but I thought the evening represented a huge missed opportunity.
During the 2016 Rio Olympics, American swimmers Ryan Lochte, Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were robbed on their way back from a club. Their taxi was pulled over by individuals posing as police officers who ordered the intoxicated swimmers to the ground and stole their wallets. Lochte had ...

Brown’s Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity recently announced plans to bring Jonathan Greenblatt, Director of the Anti-Defamation League, to speak on campus later today. This invitation shows a disregard for the Brown community and for the safety of its Palestinian and Muslim members, as ...
In bringing Jonathan Greenblatt to speak at Brown, the University’s Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity tells “anyone who might be upset” to understand that the OIED is “bringing in a viewpoint and bringing understanding and awareness.”
Since the #OscarsSoWhite Campaign gained traction on Twitter in 2015, it seems the Oscars have come to represent deep the flaws in our society rather than a celebration of art. While at times they provide memorable pop culture moments and a few inspirational speeches, it seems like the Oscars ...
This year, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) turns seventy-five. In the course of its lifetime, NATO has seen the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War and, more recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Indeed, NATO has played a key role in American and global geopolitics for ...
