Northwestern Suspends Frats While Investigating Druggings

Northwestern University has temporarily suspended all fraternity-related activities, following reports that students were drugged without their consent at frat house gatherings.

Officials are investigating one instance of nonconsensual drugging on the Evanston campus Sept. 25 as well as similar incidents that allegedly occurred the previous day, according to a campus crime alert issued Saturday. Initial reports gave only the addresses of the alleged crime sites, but The Daily Northwestern identified them as the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternities, which -- like all on-campus Greek houses -- are officially designated as “alcohol-free spaces.”

Thousands of students gathered outside the frat houses over the weekend, calling for an end to the Greek system. They held signs that read, “Say bye bye to AEPi and all frats” and “IFC enables rapists,” and chanted slogans such as “Silence is violence” and “How do you spell rapist? SAE,” The Daily Northwestern reported. Some threw eggs.

The university banned all fraternity social events, and chapter-sponsored recruitment activities are banned until at least Oct. 17, ABC reported.

Tweenhood, which starts around age 9 , is horrifying for a few reasons. For one, the body morphs in weird and scary ways. Certain parts expand faster than others, sometimes so fast that they cause literal growing pains; hair grows in awkward locations, often accompanied by awkward smells. And many kids face new schools and a new set of rules for how to act, both socially and academically. But middle school doesn’t have to be like this. It could be okay. It could be good , even. After all, middle schoolers are “kind of the best people on Earth,” says Mayra Cruz, the principal of Oyster-Adams Bilingual School, a public middle school in Washington, D.C. The notion that middle school deserves its own educational ecosystem at all dates back to the 1960s , with a campaign to better accommodate the specific learning ne...

West Virginia State’s Cabinet Asks for President’s Removal

Most members of the cabinet of West Virginia State University president Nicole Pride, in office less than a year, have called for her to be removed, The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported. “Condescending and abusive dialogue are common in exchanges with Dr. Pride,” the cabinet members wrote to the university's board. “Her harassing dialogue and bullying behavior have contributed to a ‘hostile work environment.’ Her executive leadership team has continued to dwindle as a result of a psychologically unsafe and chaotic work environment.” Pride did not return calls seeking a comment.
