Federal lawsuits filed last week against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill allege improper race-based admissions practices at both universities. 

The suits contend race-based affirmative action policies disproportionately discriminate against high-achieving white and Asian-American students. The Harvard lawsuit specifically asserts that the Ivy League university limits the number of Asian-American students it admits every year.

Students might soon have to give up their cherished snow days thanks to the ubiquitousness of something else they love—technology.

Sitting in a darkened room, staring at a computer screen for hours is now on par with two-a-days and free-throw drills, at least at some colleges.

“My mom is very proud of me, that I'm standing up for what I believe,” 16-year-old Vanessa Ridge said.

An anti-debt organization is playing fairy godmother to Americans drowning in debt, swooping in and paying off bills randomly to protest “unjust” expenses.

Rolling Jubilee claims it is fighting against the oppression used by the 1 percent to control the 99 percent. But critics say its system of selecting debt to cancel fails to consider which bills are “unjust” and which might be well-earned. The unexpected payoff also could net borrowers more debt, in the form of a tax bill.

The most enthusiastic fans at college football games are often the students themselves, sporting colorful team apparel, painted faces, and uninhibited school spirit.
