Chancellor Andrew D. Martin defended WashU’s engagement with the federal government — including meeting with the Trump administration and U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon — at a panel on higher education Wednesday morning.
A faculty committee will provide a non-binding recommendation on how WashU should respond to an Aug. 3 letter from the Department of Education (DOE) calling on universities to reform by the end of 2026, the University announced Wednesday.
Chancellor Andrew D. Martin defended WashU’s engagement with the federal government — including meeting with the Trump administration and U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon — at a panel on higher education Wednesday morning.
Six WashU faculty members critiqued a report commissioned by WashU and Vanderbilt on the politicization of the humanities in front of approximately 200 in-person students, faculty, and WashU community members.
The No. 19 WashU football team remains undefeated with a 31-24 road win over Wittenberg University, moving to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC). With this game, the Bears notch their first 3-0 start since 2023, as well as their first NCAC away game victory.
Sophomore Jessy Young saw her ball land close to the hole, but she couldn’t tell where it ended up. She was staring into the sun, and she’d mishit her 9-iron on the 132-yard par-3 eighth hole. Then, her mother, who flew in from Atlanta to watch, started screaming. Young had made her first-ever hole-in-one. Young’s ace on Sept. 15 was the second by a WashU golfer in less than a week.

I chose to study cultural anthropology because of its intense methodological rigor, intellectual depth, and political and intellectual self-scrutiny. I chose it because of its longstanding ethic of questioning social reality and what it means to be human with an unflinchingly honest lens.
Although “Day and Night” is a step down from the quality of Carly Rae Jepsen’s previous albums, the 24 songs are good enough individually. The key word being enough.
Similar to the LaJoy’s matcha lattes (read: milk with matcha essence), beabadoobee’s newest album “Pylon” fell severely short of my expectations. Just as everyone at WashU seems to have the same closet, all the songs in “Pylon” could very well be each other’s doppelgangers.
