Students express dismay over eight-foot tall Vassar champion

Trasgore Xanthas, an eight-foot tall magic-wielding warrior from the far off kingdom of Oetamushĩ has been raising eyebrows ever since his first blood-hunt across Vassar’s campus. In recent weeks, he has left quite the impact, subduing local hell beasts and closing a portal to the dark dimension that had recently opened near Central Receiving. Xanthas, a “Keeper of the Eternal Sky Flame,” was outsourced by the Campus Response Center (CRC) as a way to manage both external and internal threats, such as bicycle thefts, assaults and demon hordes. However, as more and more threats from the dark dimension emerge, a large group of Vassar students have begun to ask the question: “Is Trasgore Xanthas more trouble than he is worth?”

Stranded in Poughkeepsie: Navigating Marist Without a Car

For the 2026-27 school year, Marist University has changed its parking policy, resulting in fewer students being eligible to have a car on campus. The previous policy stated that a student could have their car on campus after completing at least 50 credits. Due to recent construction and congestion, resident students must have completed four semesters to park their car on campus; transfer students are exempt.

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.

Daycare abuse spikes in NYC — and equity-driven ‘reform’ is to blame

For years, New York state and local officials have made it harder to investigate child abuse, and harder to keep abusers on the registry that educational and child-care employers check before they hire. Now it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost: City daycare facilities are seeing skyrocketing cases of child abuse by employees. Anyone wondering how this happened hasn’t been paying attention. When Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law last year forbidding hotline callers from accepting anonymous reports of child abuse, it sealed the deal on a hands-off stance that was long in the making. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services has made a concerted effort to tamp down calls about child maltreatment, actively discouraging teachers, for instance, from reporting child neglect. When calls are accepted, more and more of them are deemed “low risk,” meaning families are offered services but the cases are never actually investigated. Many such “low risk” cases are nothing of the sort: For instance, a case that ACS chalks up to poverty — such as a teacher’s report that a child showed up to school hungry, having not been fed all weekend — may actually be the result of substance abuse or
