In Naomi Wolf’s famous 2002 work, The Beauty Myth, she asks a startling question—where are women at elite universities going? Women finally make up half of the student population, so why are they choosing to quietly fade into the background? Twelve years later, the same question should be asked. Although women in the developed world today have more say over their reproductive rights, have overtaken men in higher education enrollment and are catching up in the labor force, few women make it to the top in business or politics. Of 197 heads of state, only 22 are women. Of the top 500 companies by revenue, only 21 are headed by women. In politics, women hold just 19 percent of congressional offices.
In 2012, when Eric Haavind-Berman ’15 and James Hayward ’16 arrived on campus, Haavind-Berman as a transfer and Hayward as a first- year, they were disappointed to find that their favorite sport, lacrosse, did not have a club team. Haavind-Berman and Hayward both played lacrosse in high school and wished to continue in college. Hoping to find a few players to join them on the field, they put up flyers around campus.

If you haven’t discovered Canadian indie rockers The New Pornographers, their new album Brill Bruisers is a great place to start.

I first joined Amnesty International as a first-year, newly soaked in the importance of social justice. Now as the president, I still believe that Amnesty International is distinctly Brandeisian, as we try to educate and remedy human rights violations regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender. Nevertheless, the number of my Brandeis peers who oppose the organization consistently surprises me. I have been told by liberals and conservatives alike that the organization is “too political” for them to be involved with. It is not that people do not care about human rights—I do not think I have ever met a Brandeisian who will tell me they do not think that human rights are socially just. It is the organization, the actual process of fighting for the very rights they claim to be so important, that they object to as too political.

Even though the team sputtered to a 10-25 record overall and went just 1-6 against University Athletic Association opponents, the Judges will look to a returning core of seniors and a new coach to bring them back to winning ways.
This July, many Brandeisians may have been surprised to see a fellow classmate, Daniel Mael ’15, publishing the contents of a long-running faculty listserv on Breitbart.com—the springboard for an outpouring of media attention from online publications such as the Washington Free Beacon, the Daily Caller and TruthRevolt. Selections from the “Concerned” faculty listserv, in which professors commented on subjects ranging from Israel to Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s potential commencement appearance, contained some offensive and inflammatory remarks. In a letter to faculty in response to these remarks, University President Frederick Lawrence characterized the remarks as “anti-Semitic epithets, personal attacks, denigration of the Catholic faith, and the use of crude and vulgar terms in discussions about Israel.” Over the summer, students, alumni and parents proceeded to mull the question: To what level of respectful discourse must we hold faculty?
