‘A long time coming’: Brown football defeats Yale for the first time since 2016
For the Brown football team (5-3, 3-2 Ivy), the Yale Bowl has been a house of horrors for the last 15 years. Heading into this past Saturday’s matchup in New Haven, Bruno had not defeated Yale (4-4, 2-3 Ivy) on the road since 2011. In that span, Brown had been outscored 270-105 at the Bowl. The last time the Bears beat Yale at all was in 2016, before Head Coach James Perry ’00 took the reins. But on Saturday, Brown reset the record with a 24-20 win that propelled them up the Ivy League rankings.

Tao ’27: Providence’s divestment initiative shows that the left at Brown should build movements outside College Hill
Last Tuesday, Providence voters approved Ballot Question 7, divesting city funds from foreign countries conducting severe violations of human rights and companies that enable those violations, by a wide majority: 74.45% for and 25.55% against. Its wide margin of success was the result of months of campaigning by the Providence for Palestine coalition. Despite not mentioning Israel or Palestine by name, both the question’s proponents and opponents understood that Israel was the primary focus. Today, I’m not interested in relitigating the merits of divestment from Israel — I’ve written in favor of a divestment proposal for Brown in the past, and there’s been plenty of robust discourse in this section both for and against it in Providence. Rather, I want to draw from it a lesson for student activists at Brown: Progressive victories are better achieved through local democracy than by appealing to unaccountable university committees.
