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.

When medievalist Mary Rambaran-Olm wrote about having her book review “torpedoed” for not being “more generous” to the book’s authors, no one could have expected that this would send shock waves across the academic community in what became an online maelstrom revealing the extent of white academic gatekeeping, ally performativity and blatant racism. For those of us who work on decentering whiteness in premodern fields such as classics, medieval/early modern studies, archaeology and in or on the Global South, this latest attack targeting a scholar of color exposed what many of us have been trying to draw attention to for years—that racism is deep and pernicious in the so-called liberal and woke academy. Rambaran-Olm was commissioned to review The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe ( HarperCollins ) for the Los Angeles Review of Books because of her expertise in early English medieval literature and history, and because she is one of the leading scholars challenging the

Consdierations for Another Uncertain Semester

Blog:  Just Visiting There are going to be a lot of sick people on college campuses in the fall. This is a pretty easy prediction because there are always a lot of sick people on college campuses given the very nature of the activities that happen on college campuses. I know I am not the only instructor to look out over a classroom and see lots of empty seats as students are felled by one virus or another.  I remember a particularly bad bout of mono that caught five students out of twenty in a single class and would’ve resulted in a passel of incompletes if I gave incompletes. (More on this in a moment.) While indications are that the coronavirus vaccines are holding up well against the Delta variant in preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even vaccinated people are getting sick. It is beyond frustrating that a virus that could’ve been isolated and marginalized continues to thrive, but for now, as measured by the worst outcomes, we are collectively in a di
