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.
Ending Legacy Admissions Nationwide as a Moral Imperative
With the 2024 presidential election drawing near, several groups on the Brandeis campus have increased efforts to both register and go out and vote on election day. These groups include The VoteDeis Campus Coalition, The Educational Network for Active Civic Transformation and BRANDEIS VOTES events hosted and run by Brandeis library staff and faculty.
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
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.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD A BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY HILLEL HOUSE ON CAMPUS: “IF NOT NOW, WHEN?”

Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
On my tour of Brandeis in April of 2021, one of the most notable points my tour guide shared was that double majors - even triple - are not uncommon amongst Brandeis students. This quickly proved to be true, as many of my friends and peers picked up two majors and multiple minors, seemingly raising the major:student ratio far beyond 1:1. After my first summer, updates of successful internship endeavors flooded my LinkedIn feed and many of my peers would — and still do — share their academic accolades on social media. In our goal-centric world as students, we commonly thrive on the pursuit and accomplishment of success, yet how often does one acknowledge that these traditional markers of academic and professional victory only amount to so much success?
Back in March, the University sent an email outlining its financial struggles and the steps that would be taken to reduce the projected $2 million in debt. Among these are staffing cuts, drawing more money from the endowment and pausing progress on Science 2A — the plan to build the new science building.
RE: MEDIA MALPRACTICE: He should express concerns about all the media malpractice supporting all the legal malpractice and judicial chaos right here in his own backyard, during many elections and presidency. He is old enough to know better than to blame all the sins of the world on one political party or one presidency. We have governing officials and politicians in power for decades in the New England Region supporting all types of fraudulent and illegal conduct affecting children and families hardships, due to no fault of their own. He should have focused on the reasons why he has resided in a state that is offered immunity and protection of any media coverage if Violations of laws becomes involved in how they govern in New Hampshire. Politics becomes more relevant than common sense and civil decency under many campaigns,elections and presidency. in the hands of both political parties. Sincerely, Elizabeth Rawnsley
