In the wake of a presidential election, the atmosphere on a college campus can feel charged. Regardless of the elected candidate or what policies prevail, each election cycle impacts students uniquely. This time can feel complicated and isolating for many, as a period of emotional processing and reflection. Now, more than ever, our collective well-being depends on offering support and understanding to one another, and taking care of ourselves is essential.

Where We Go From Here
(11/12/24 11:00am)
In our time, we are urged to attend university for the so-called “college experience.” A concept so nebulous, abstract and utterly drenched in middle-class euphemisms that it lulls budding students into accepting the ridiculous notion that it is perfectly reasonable to drop a sum equivalent to that of a new car every year on an “experience.”

After a lengthy search to replace Brandeis’ former Director of Sustainability, Mary Fischer, Brandeis’ administration decided not to proceed with hiring a successor and shuttered the Office of Sustainability over the summer of 2024. The administration justified its decision by stating that it was a necessary cost-saving measure, considering Brandeis’ financial difficulties. However, in the context of severe flooding, hurricanes, droughts and natural disasters increasing in frequency due to the climate crisis, the administration’s decision couldn’t have come at a worse time.

What’s stopping us from achieving our highest fashion potential? I’ll cut straight to the chase: it’s because we’re not willing to be weird or look weird.

As what was possibly the longest Halloween of all time comes to a close, energy levels are low and many students may feel stretched thin. As we know, the holiday coincided with not only the beginning of the nebulous block of the semester over which midterms are scheduled but also the 2024 presidential election. This editorial board encourages those of us in the community who may be feeling drained or burnt out to set a few extra measures to relax, self-preserve and enjoy the season’s peak foliage.

Today anti Zionist Jews and other liberal Jews wrap themselves in “ tikkun olam” (“ repair the world”) credulously believing that they have wrapped themselves in historic Judaism. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dismissing Jewish law and replacing it with a universalist “ social justice” agenda, many of these “repair the world” Jews are even able to contort themselves into supporting Hamas whose unrevoked charter in Article 7 requires every supporter of Hamas to murder every Jew on earth.

Vine, the ultra-short form video-sharing platform launched in 2013, produced many unlikely cultural fixations among its mostly Generation Z and late-millennial user base. Among these was the video created by user Josh Kennedy, who, for reasons still mysterious to many, uploaded a video in which he uttered “waddup, I’m Jared, I’m 19, and I never fucking learned how to read.” The rest is internet history, and many of us still drop the phrase on occasions we deem appropriate.

The cutting of the Lydian String Quartet came as a surprise to the Brandeis community as it marked the end of its 40-year tradition. The quartet has been a prominent feature in the University’s artistic endeavors since its inception in 1980, having studied with Robert Koff, a member of Julliard’s string quartet.

Introduction:

As I sit down to write my first piece for The Justice, I can’t help but think about how to best introduce myself to you all — Brandeis students, my peers, who know a thing or two about dissecting the nuances of power, language and politics. This isn’t just my introduction to the student body; it’s also a preview of how I’ll approach political coverage as we roll toward the 2024 presidential election. Let’s face it — voting in this election will be more than just ticking boxes. It’ll be about power, language and who gets to claim both.

In the aftermath of President Ronald Liebowitz’s resignation, announced in an email on Sept. 26, the Brandeis community continues to adjust to the prospect of so much change at the University.

Researchers have explored the impact of news coverage of the civil rights movement and its influence on public and social opinion. A researcher from Princeton University’s political science department, Omar Wasow, suggested that the media covered civil rights protests in the 1960s in different ways, depending on whether protests were peaceful or violent. He argued that when protestors remained peaceful, particularly in the face of aggression and violence, the resulting images shocked a complacent nation into action. But when the protestors themselves turned violent, even in self-defense, the media message shifted from a framing around civil rights to one around the need for control.

Letter to the editor regarding the Campus Sustainability Fund
(09/24/24 10:00am)
The University’s recent decision to lay off approximately 60 staff positions has left many students to unwillingly take on some of the responsibilities left behind,without compensation. This year, the Office of Sustainability and Brandeis Arts Engagement are defunct. With no staff to spearhead them, the initiatives that these programs facilitated risk fading into memory without student intervention. This board intends to recognize students’ hard work in the face of diminished support from the University.
