I got a C- on my last Shakespeare test. For the past week or so, I tried to think of ways to write this article without mentioning my grade.

On Sept. 22, the University Board of Trustees announced that Penn would not be divesting from fossil fuels.
It was a rough year for the American social fabric. The existing political order was under deep strain.

Communications are limited in the Monk class now: 100 spoken words per day, no social media, no contact beyond what is necessary for school or employment. It started out innocuously.
Early last week, the University of Florida circulated a memo to its undergraduates, cautioning them not to wear offensive costumes on Halloween. The issuance of such statements has become something of an October tradition on many campuses, and kerfuffle of some kind nearly always attends.
