This morning, a committee of Harvard faculty members recommended that, starting in 2018, the college forbids incoming students from joining “fraternities,…
In 2015, one of Harvard’s elite social clubs admitted nine female members. This week, they were ejected, making the Fox Club all-male once more.
Incoming freshman were directed to find each other on Harvard’s Class of 2021 Facebook group, and in late December about a 100 of them broke off into a meme-sharing messaging chat titled “Harvard memes for horny bourgeois teens.” Can you guess where this is going?
Though I love my job as the overseer of this high and judicious court, I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been considering a career change. I’ve been playing with the idea of swapping out this seat for one in another court. A court with a jurisdiction over, say, a few members of Congress so I can one day have the joy of…
Citing a change of plans, Trump chief strategist and Darth Vader impersonator Steve Bannon will no longer be attending Harvard’s Institute of Politics event for presidential campaign managers on Thursday, Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs reports.

In late October, the Harvard Crimson exposed a tradition amongst the Harvard men’s soccer team that involved rating the women’s soccer team’s perceived hotness in a shared document.

The latest round of negotiations between Harvard University and the school’s 750 striking dining services workers has ended in a “tentative agreement,” university officials said on Tuesday.

Beware the Google listserv, the most searchable and damning collection of group thinking.
On Monday, hundreds of Harvard University students walked out of class for the second time in seven days, demanding that the school settle with the 750 dining hall workers who went on strike earlier this month after negotiations failed over health care and annual income.

Things are probably pretty confusing right now for Jeb! Bush. His ineffective, occasionally hilarious performance as a Republican primary candidate helped boost the fortunes of one Donald Trump, who may yet become the United States’ first emperor-CEO; later, Trump received the endorsement of Jeb!’s very own son George…
In an op-ed for the Harvard Crimson, an anonymous rape survivor writes of her alleged attack on the university’s campus and its subsequent aftermath. “Harvard could have helped me afterwards,” she writes, “and they didn’t.”

Faust announced that members of the school’s single-gender clubs, including final clubs and fraternities and sororities, won’t be allowed to hold leadership positions on campus or be nominated for undergraduate scholarships.

In a move that will prompt a lot of anguished howling among people for whom college was the most important time of their lives, Harvard has announced it will place new restrictions on members of the school’s “final clubs.” Those are chummy, very old single-sex organizations where money sloshes merrily in every…
Harvard has installed a plaque honoring four slaves who worked in the households of two university presidents in the 1700s and, more broadly, recognizing the school’s history with slavery.
Nothing pumps up a crowd like a good marching band interlude, and nothing pumps up a marching band like a surreptitious and possibly accidental statement of virility.
