I had two weeks of heavy restrictions in a row: first, a Jain diet, second, no more than 100 words used per day.

At least seven former or current college housing staffers, including four house deans, say they have spoken to Human Resources about Redman. The portrait they describe is of an administrative unit beset with frustration over a leader many regard as sexist at worst and woefully insensitive at best.

After a cool and wet weekend, a sunny forecast lies ahead this week.

Pennsylvania is a key swing state for the 2016 election season and throughout Penn’s campus numerous advocacy groups have been registering students to vote in the Keystone State.

The twelfth annual Pennsylvania Conference for Women took place on Oct. 6 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. With over 9,000 people in attendance, this year’s sold-out conference boasted the best turnout in its history.

Last week, Penn hosted the Third Annual Learning with MOOCs conference, bringing together leaders in the mass learning system.

Students who received only grants performed significantly better in college — with GPAs between 0.8 and 0.15 points higher.

Horizons School of Technology, a startup founded by Penn alumni, ran its first coding bootcamp course this summer right next to Penn’s campus.

Two weeks ago, a tropical disturbance formed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Many forecasters were aware of its formation, but few put much thought into what it may become in just a week’s time.

“When someone participates in private conversations where they talk about groping women, they are normalizing the idea that women are sexual objects” College junior Amanda Silberling said.

Trying to score against the Quakers this week? Good luck. Penn field hockey defeated Dartmouth and Temple, both in shutouts, this weekend.

This was a rough one. Fresh off an impressive 5-0 drubbing of Cornell a week ago, Penn men’s soccer was dealt a crushing double-overtime loss in their second Ivy contest Saturday, falling 2-1 to Columbia.

Within twenty-four hours, Penn volleyball played ten grueling sets in New York. But it was to no avail, as the Quakers fell in two tight matches against rivals Cornell and Columbia. “We played both matches really tough,” Coach Kerry Carr said “When it gets to the overtime set, and you’re on the road, it just gets a lot tougher.” The Quaker’s campaign began at the Newman Arena against the Big Red.

Two weeks ago I promised a disparaging NSO column. I’m lucky world events lined up so well. Like most of you, I was shocked to read about the drama in the wake of Canada’s carbon summit last week: In response to a proposed universal $10 CAD tax per ton in 2018, Nova Scotia’s minister left the building.

The University of Pennsylvania men’s soccer team started off Ivy League play with a bang yesterday, defeating rival Cornell on the road in a back-and-forth overtime affair. Right from the opening whistle, the intensity and importance of the match was on display with fouls and cards being assessed evenly to both sides.
