Brandeis is currently in the process of re-accreditation. In order to assess each institution based on its own progress and in comparison to other institutes of higher education, assure the public of quality and give institutions a chance to self assess and improve, re-accreditation is conducted by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) every ten years.
This weekend Hassenfeld Hall in East Quad was affected by several acts of vandalism. Many Hassenfeld residentsparticularly those on the fourth and sixth floors, where the vandalism took placeare distraught by the vandalism. Some of the more dramatic acts of vandalism included the writing of vulgarities on a Community Advisors (CA) dry erase board, and the theft of a computer from an unlocked room on Hassenfeld 4.
When a man goes to sit on the toilet to do number two (I am not willing to admit that women defecate like men do), it is inherently assumed that this will be a time of solitude, contemplation, and complete and utter quiet. Yes he is here because nature has issued it inevitable call, but the real reason he is here is to ponder the true meaning of life. He is here to sift and sort through the depths of existance.
