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.

On March 19 in the Rapaporte Treasure Hall, Cameron Samuels ’25 gave a talk titled “A Seat at the Table: Storytelling, Policy and Law in a Precarious Higher Education Landscape,” sponsored by Brandeis’ Creativity, the Arts and Social Transformation department. The talk centered on the litany of conservative education policy that has impacted Samuels’ home state of Texas and their organization — Students Engaged in Advancing Texas — which is a student-led movement that has advocated for free speech in schools by opposing book bans and the removal of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives along with policies that target immigrant students.

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.

A new era has begun in college basketball. With teams and players being able to move more freely between teams thanks to the transfer portal and the potential for more eligible years, predicting who will be successful in the National Collegiate Athletics Association’s March Madness tournament has fundamentally changed. Since these changes came to college basketball, they changed what the future of March Madness could look like. The Florida Gators’ 2025 win taught the world the importance of having experienced players when senior guards Walter Clayton Jr. and Will Richard combined for 29 points to complete their comeback in the championship game. The Connecticut Huskies proved dynasties can happen in this new era, winning back-to-back championships in 2023 and 2024. Considering recent history, what should fans pay attention to when filling out their brackets this year?

Last Saturday, the Levin Ballroom transformed into a space for performance, celebration and reflection as the Brandeis Asian American Student Association hosted its annual celebration: Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month Opening Showcase, or APAHM. This year’s event, themed “Wherever the Wind Takes Us,” brought together food, dance, music and community for a night that centered not only on cultural representation, but on the question of what it means to build a home across distance and change.

The “Resident Evil” series has been on an absolute roll since the release of “RE 7: Biohazard” in 2017, which essentially revived the series from its five-year drought after the sixth game’s release in 2012. Since then, we’ve received remakes of RE 2 , 3 and 4 and a new mainline game with “RE: Village,” which again revolutionized what the series could be. While good games make a happy fanbase, they also raised expectations for the ninth game to an all-time high, which left “Resident Evil’s” producer, Capcom, with a huge predicament: How do they make a new game that appeals to new fans and old? Even though that seems like an impossible challenge, somehow they managed to do both.

Regardless of how thoroughly extensive the cruelty of hatred can be, the Hebrew people have done more than just survive: we have thrived. “To thrive,” however, has nothing to do with tangible success; the Hebrew tribes celebrate the mere yet potent joy of being alive. Throughout history, our community has been forced into diaspora where we were chased by the Santa Inquisicíon, decimated by the rise of the Führer, faced the Russian Pogroms, had our practices outlawed by Colonel Mengistu Mariam in Ethiopia, and were once again forced into exodus by several Middle Eastern countries at the latter half of the 20th century. So, it is simple. Every waking moment that a Jew gets to be alive is a reason to rejoice. What is the lesson of our history if not to never take life for granted? Organized by Brandeis’ Hebrew Department and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies, 100 Years of Song and Poetry had this joy precisely as its central goal: to be a marker of our resilience, celebrating the modern revival of the Hebrew language and a unified Hebrew people.

This February, the White House website published “The SAVE America Act: Voter ID is Popular with Everyone,” advocating for the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility America Act. At first glance, that argument works. Americans consistently say they support requiring photo ID to vote. That being said, this widespread support rests on the assumption that obtaining an acceptable photo ID is simple and universal. In reality, the steps behind obtaining a photo ID operate as a barrier that will make millions of eligible Americans effectively ineligible to vote on a scale not seen since Jim Crow.
