"FAKE! This is NOT an Israeli soldier!" If you were on Facebook last Wednesday and have a significant number of Jewish "friends," then you may have seen those red words glossed on a photo of a soldier-type individual pointing a gun at a child.
When emails have to be sent repeatedly in order to encourage students to do something, it's usually because the students aren't already doing the something in question.

Correction appended Contract negotiations between Aramark and Dining Services workers have stalled due to a disagreement over health insurance coverage, according to Dana Simon, the organizing director of Unite HERE Local 26, the union that represents the roughly 125 unionized Dining Services workers.

Last May, Aramark and Dining Services workers began formal negotiations to establish a new 5-year contract before the old one expired on June 30.

Recent legal responses to student suicide suggest a rather inconsistent way of thinking about the issue, especially concerning universities.
I recently had a rather remarkable experience-at least a relatively remarkable one-at this year's room selection.
I love Brandeis Fridays; I really do. That last class of the week, Sherman chicken wings, catching up on those shows you missed on Thursday night after your 12:10 to 1:30 p.m.
I doubt that the proverbial "they" ever said that an impeachment trial is a bad way to start a semester, but maybe they should have.
