Israel’s decision saddening but not surprising

Last week, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) accepted Palestine as a legitimate member, causing something of a political storm.

Pondering the purpose of The Pulse

We applaud the Student Union for its initiative, The Pulse, to capture student input through a series of online surveys that will take place this coming week. Student input is certainly a good thing, especially in helping Union leaders justify their initiatives to administrators. But at the same time, The Pulse assumes that the answers […]


Rose media coverage rebounds after reopening

What a difference two years makes. This was the common sentiment among not just Brandeis University students and faculty last week, but for the media and art aficionados as well. The Rose Art Museum reopened its doors to the public Thursday, Oct. 27, more than two years after it nearly closed permanently due to financial […]


Search for director indicates health of AAAS

The African and Afro-American Studies (AAAS) department began looking for a new chair this year despite the university’s plans to turn the department into a program and reduce resources under the 2008 Curriculum and Academic Restructuring (CARS) Plan.


Waltham authorities helpless in Sept murder investigation

Nearly two months after police officers rushed to 12 Harding Ave. on a September afternoon and found three men dead in a triple homicide; nearly two months after reporters from every Boston TV station stood behind the yellow crime scene tape, surrounded by flashing red and blue lights, demanding updates from Middlesex District Attorney Gerard […]
