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.

Somerset Berkley field hockey heads to the Division 2 Elite 8

SOMERSET — Last season, the Doherty field hockey team was no match for Somerset Berkley in their Sweet 16 match. On Monday, the No. 13 Highlanders decided to implore a different game plan against the No. 4 Raiders — a physical style of play — in their rematch. The only problem was when push came to shove, SBR kicked it into another gear After a scoreless, rough first period, the No. 4 Raiders dominated the rest of the way and came away with a 5-0 victory over Doherty in the Division 2 Sweet 16 game at Somerset Berkley Regional High School. With the victory, the Raiders (17-2-1) move on to the Elite 8 and will face the winner of either No. 5 Hingham or No. 12 Newburyport at a time and date to be determined this week.

Kleinman ’30: A majority-flex meal plan would empower Brown’s youngest snackers

It’s 1 a.m. and students excitedly pour into Josiah’s, chatting after an evening of fun. Laughter bounces off the ivy-patterned walls as some pick up a burger. Others gravitate towards the drink and snack section, where they’ll grab a Vitamin Water or a box of cereal. For me, whether I come in looking for a sandwich and fries or a couple of snacks and a drink, I often end up using a meal swipe to pay, rather than wasting my precious Flex Points.

Work-based learning barriers persist for some students, per report

Massachusetts community college students get more career coaching than those seeking bachelor's degrees, but lag far behind on paid internships and other work-based learning opportunities, a new report states. Why it matters: The less work experience students have under their belt, the less competitive these students are as they enter an increasingly challenging workforce in a high-cost state. These hurdles persist in a state with free community college, though college completion rates remain higher than much of the country, per the report by the Indiana-based nonprofit Strada Education Foundation. Driving the news: Massachusetts community college students have gotten more career coaching than students in other states, and more than bachelor's students here, per Strada's 2026 State Opportunity Index. But it hasn't translated to higher levels of work experience, per the 2026 State of Opportunity Index released Tuesday. By the numbers: 47% of Mass. students seeking an associate's degree reported getting personalized career coaching. That's higher than the national average for two-year college students and nearly twice as high as the share of four-year college students, per the report's survey of nearly 110,000 college U.S. students in 2025 and 2026. Yes, but: In Massachusetts, just 12% of associate students surveyed had

Aedan Borges wills Case football to upset over champ Fairhaven in MIAA playoffs

FAIRHAVEN — After losing a thriller at Alumni Field last month, first-year head coach Mike Cloutier and the No. 11 Joseph Case football team wanted another shot against defending Division 6 Super Bowl champion Fairhaven. What transpired in Thursday's Division 6 Round of 16 playoff game was nearly a replica of the first contest as both teams went blow for blow. This time it was the Cardinals who managed to pull out an upset win over the Blue Devils. Aedan Borges scored six touchdowns, including the eventual game-winner on a fumble recovery for a score midway through the fourth quarter to lift Case to an incredible 42-37 victory over No. 6 Fairhaven. Watch MA high school football on NFHS With the win, the Cardinals (7-2) move on the Elite 8 for the first time in school history and snapped the Blue Devils' 15-game unbeaten win streak that dated back to last season.
