Brandeis sports: setting the record straight

(04/28/26 10:45am)

Brandeis sports. It seems to be common knowledge, or rather, public perception, that saying these two words next to each other are oxymoronic. Our University has typically been known for the quality of their academics over their sports, and the student body tends to enforce that notion. That being said, The Justice Editorial Board believes that Brandeis sports are currently undergoing a renaissance, and we want to encourage the student body to recognize the work our athletes and coaches put in to compete with other schools.


Student Union Marathon allocations decline as demand outpaces budget again

(04/28/26 10:00am)

Student Union’s annual Marathon report revealed an overall decrease in funds for student organizations in 2026-2027 from the previous cycle. According to an April 22 email from the Allocations Board, “The total requested amount exceeded the available budget, making allocations limited.”



Class confusion: A comprehensive guide

(04/21/26 2:39pm)

Class registration can be a tumultuous if not frightening time for the Brandeis student body. Deciding on a semester schedule while balancing major and minor requirements can be a challenge for anyone interacting with the registrar, prepared or not. Given the mounting stress prior to class registration day, The Justice’s Editorial Board wishes to recommend some classes we have taken that may fly under the radar come fall registration.


Brandeis basketball: a celebrated history

(04/21/26 2:14pm)

The National Basketball Association playoffs officially kicked off this year on April 18, marking the most exciting time to be a basketball fan. Given Brandeis’ proximity to Boston, it’s hard not to get swept up in the excitement of the NBA postseason, especially when it’s with a historic franchise like the Boston Celtics. It’s not often that the whirlwind of Boston sports culture makes its way to our university, which is why The Justice Editorial Board would like to thank Brandeis University for bringing Celtics star and reigning Sixth Man of the Year, Payton Pritchard, to campus. 



A warmer campus

(04/21/26 5:23pm)

After months of cold weather, a short stretch of warm, sunny days brought Brandeis students outside in large numbers. People gathered on the grass, studied on benches and lingered in places that had sat empty during the winter. Campus immediately felt happier and more alive.

Road to the Oscars: “Marty Supreme” and “F1”

(03/19/26 10:29pm)

In the lead-up to the 2026 Academy Awards, many people try to watch all 10 Best Picture nominees to see which movies should be considered the best of the year. However, with how long it takes to find and watch all of the films, it can be easy to miss one and then have no idea why it was nominated for Best Picture. But now, you do not have to worry about missing a nominee: the Road to the Oscars series has arrived! Over the past several weeks, I have been watching and writing reviews for all 10 Best Picture nominees so that you, faithful Justice readers, can hear my opinions about the films and gain some insight into why each movie was nominated.


Former Washington Post editor discusses current state of journalism

(03/17/26 10:00am)

On Feb. 4, 2026, The Washington Post laid off over 300 of its roughly 800-person newsroom. The layoffs resulted in both the sports and books departments being removed, a significantly smaller metro section and cuts to international correspondents and editors, many of whom were based in the Middle East. These layoffs came after several years of failing profits, decreasing numbers of subscribers and changes to leadership that further sank the paper. 


"Clue: On Stage": A board game brought to life

(03/17/26 10:00am)

The Undergraduate Theater Collective is Brandeis University’s number-one destination for student theater. Giving opportunities for a more unfiltered and hands-on stage experience, UTC is a great outlet for all members of the undergraduate student body who may want to dabble in a theater environment. Their first show of this semester was “Clue: On Stage” — a reimagining of the classic board game as a full theatrical production. There’s a lot to unpack about the play, so I will start with the negatives, since for me, there weren’t many. One slight problem I had was with the script. This play is basically only comedy and they won’t let you forget it. The jokes fly at you at the quick pace of about eight to ten a minute, and most of them are hit or miss. However, this never manifested into a real annoyance to me and although some jokes left a bad taste in my mouth, they were soon followed by a new bit that got a big laugh out of me. After about 30 minutes, I fully settled into the style of the play. While plot may be secondary in this production, it’s important to remember that fun is the primary goal. Once I realized that, I thoroughly enjoyed the shenanigans. 




A sea of green

Each March, the South Boston St. Patrick’s Day Parade draws large crowds of local residents, tourists and college students to one of the city’s most well-known celebrations. The parade, held this year on March 16, is a cultural tradition, neighborhood event and citywide social gathering.
