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?”

Powerhouse LA high school football coach mired in controversy fires back at peeved parents: ‘I will not apologize’

The California high school football coach mired in controversy over potential recruiting violations said bluntly this week he has no intentions of apologizing for the way he’s running his program. Just after Westlake head coach Rick Clausen was called out by several of his own players’ parents in a scathing letter to the school, the 44-year-old told the California Post on Thursday he’s not fretting about the complaints one bit. Westlake head coach Rick Clausen instructs the offense during football practice at Westlake High School, Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026. USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect “It’s comical, to be honest with you,” Clausen said. “But with what goes on in today’s society, nothing shocks me in any way, shape or form.” Clausen took over a floundering Westlake program in 2025 and immediately turned the team around, going 10-1 in his first year and 7-3 so far in Year Two. The team was 0-10 in 2024. California school district bosses face probe over $70K credit card binge on wine and treats just days before $205M bond vote However, last week, a group of parents sent a memo to Westlake High School stating they’ve enlisted the help of a private investigation company

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.
