The event brought together faculty and students from different fields of study, featuring Prof. Gowri Vijayakumar (SOC/WGS), Prof. Sarah Curi (LGS/HSSP), Prof. lan Roy (ENGR/BUS) and Prof. William Chalmus (CAST/THA).

Misguided marketing: The case for student involvement in University decisions
(03/24/26 10:00am)
The Brandeis administration hosts monthly faculty meetings in the Rapaporte Treasure Hall, where faculty discuss and vote on various changes to the University. Recently, these changes have included the addition of undergraduate majors and minors as well as changes to the Core curriculum. Additionally, they are a forum for understanding and discussing aspects of running a university that are not as apparent to many students such as marketing, university legislation and available resources for faculty members to revise their curricula. In short, they are one of the integral elements of how major changes are made to the University.
Brandeis Consulting Club: Coming this spring
(03/24/26 10:00am)
Starting in fall 2026, the Brandeis Consulting Club is planning to offer alumni-led workshops, opportunities for pro-bono consulting and case competition events for undergraduate students interested in honing their consulting skills. In a March 20 interview with The Justice, the club’s co-presidents, Gianna Crisha Saludo ’28 and Malake Loukili ’28, outlined the origins of the club concept, their objectives for its programming and where its logistical planning currently stands.
Senate Log
(03/10/26 10:00am)
On Sunday, March 8, the Union Senate convened in Shapiro Campus Center 313 for their weekly meeting. The agenda included the presentation of a Senate Money Resolution, review of Union Senate expectations, Committee reports and an open forum for representatives to voice their concerns. The meeting was called to order by Student Union Vice President Daniel Shin ’27, while attendance was taken by Sarah Jafary ’28, an executive senator. Shin acknowledged that the group had no club charters or recognitions to review, so the group promptly moved to communications issues. The Union Senate took a moment to individually review both the Executive Board and finance reports, and no concerns were raised. Luke Farberman ’27, chair of the Club Support Committee, asked if Shin could provide any information about a planned “Move-Out Market,” for the end of the semester. Shin clarified that this was a sustainability initiative and did not have much information to share.

Brandeis is far too harsh on its STEM students.

It's time to abolish ICE
(02/03/26 11:00am)
Back in November 2024, I wrote in The Justice’s forum on the topic of immigration for its special 2024 presidential election issue. At the time, I laid out the case for Kamala Harris implementing a more compassionate immigration policy than the one she was campaigning on, should she be elected president. I described Donald Trump’s proposed immigration policies as “horrifying” and “fascistic in nature,” concluding that, “immigrants are not pawns to advance political agendas, they’re real people whose lives are affected by policy.” I will be the first to admit, the piece was optimistic, maybe even naively so, but I saw a real opportunity for progress if Harris won.

Many people like Artificial Intelligence, some people love it
(10/21/25 10:00am)
By now everyone has heard of Artificial Intelligence, but not of the unprecedented ways in which it’s being used. I’m not talking about AI being used to make art, businesses or to assist students with school work; I’m talking about misled people falling in love with AI chatbots. On the social media platform Reddit there is an online community of individuals that have romantic relationships with AI chatbots called r/MyBoyfriendIsAI, with approximately 28,000 members. It was founded on Aug. 1, 2024, and the community description reads as follows:
Policing our press: in support of The Stanford Daily
(10/21/25 10:00am)
As of August 2025, Stanford University’s student newspaper, The Stanford Daily, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its campaign of censorship and retaliation against student journalists, particularly noncitizens, who share their truth. In Stanford Daily Publishing Corp. et al. v. Rubio et al. the plaintiff accused Secretary Marco Rubio and the administration of abusing two provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act to censor lawfully-present noncitizens in the United States. Represented by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, the Daily’s case underscores a broader, more disturbing reality: for student journalists, the cost of free expression may now include surveillance, detention and deportation.
Brandeis receives overall F in college free speech
(09/30/25 10:00am)
Brandeis University earned an overall F in the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s 2026 free speech rankings, placing 149th of 257 U.S. colleges and universities. The school’s rules received a “yellow light” designation, meaning Brandeis has chosen policies that may be applied in a way that violates rights to free speech. “That means that there’s one or more speech code policies in a student handbook, faculty handbook, somewhere … that they’re worded in a way that they could be applied unconstitutionally. It’s vague or arbitrary wording,” said Sean Stevens, chief research advisor at FIRE, in a Sep. 26 interview with The Justice.

Thank you to our seniors!
(05/19/25 10:00am)
This editorial board wants to take this opportunity to recognize the incredible contributions made by our ten graduating seniors over the past four years. Despite being a club, the ample amount of work and dedication that goes into maintaining The Justice can often feel like a full-time commitment, but these graduates have taken these challenges in stride. Although we will miss sharing our late nights in the office with them, we are more than excited to see what their bright futures have in store for them!

Baquet formerly served as the executive editor for the Los Angeles Times and made history as the first African American Executive Editor of the New York Times. He spoke about the interplay between the media and polarization in a discussion moderated by Associate Professor of the Practice of Journalism Ann Silvio (JOUR) and adjunct lecturer Adriana Lacy (JOUR), as well as Professor Paul Anskat (SOC).
Centre Georges Pompidou shutters its doors
(03/11/25 10:00am)
In March of this year, the permanent collection of the Musée National d’art Moderne — the National Modern Art Museum — of Paris closed its doors for five years. Consecrated as the Centre Georges Pompidou, this modern art museum has housed a large collection of avant-garde art from the early 20th century since 1977. The Pompidou center represents the history of the avant-garde in Paris and the promulgation of modern art as a national art form. Such a closing of a historic collection has been disheartening to say the least. Despite the varied personal opinions of modern art, there is no denying the historical impact of this art style as a social movement.
