The U.S. and the militant Islamist group signed a deal one year in the making on Saturday in Qatar that calls for the full withdrawal of American troops and personnel, as well as the release of 5,000 prisoners by the Afghan government slated for March 10th.

AROUND THE IVIES BROWN Brown University cancelled its study abroad program in Bologna, Italy, due to increasing concerns about the spread of the coronavirus, the Brown Daily Herald reported Saturday. The notice from the Office of International Programs follows the cancellation of all classes at the University of Bologna since Feb. 24, as well as warnings from both the Department of State and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding travel to Italy. The seven Brown students who are part of the program were given the choice to either formally withdraw from the program or take online courses with the University of Bologna remotely. The University is covering flights out of Italy until March 7 and providing full refunds for both the program fee and housing for students who choose to withdraw.
UPENN
Fossil Free Penn (FFP), a student organization focused on fossil fuel divestment, protested outside Penn’s Board of Trustees’ office Friday, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported Friday. The group aimed not to shut down the meeting, as they had done in November, but instead to create a partial blockade that would elicit the attention of the trustees. The group brought protest signs fashioned into gravestones with epitaphs containing statistics about the effects of climate change.
YALE
The Students Unite Now organization gathered Thursday to march from Old Campus to the Undergraduate Admissions Office to protest the student income contribution fee, the Yale Daily News reported Thursday. SUN strives to create a more equitable financial aid policy at Yale, arguing that the university does not fully meet the financial need of low-income students. Currently, students receiving full financial aid are still required to pay $4,450 their first year and $4,950 in subsequent years to cover the student income contribution fee. Yale administration recently announced a decrease in the student income contribution from $4,450$4,950 to $3,700, which will be implemented starting in the 2020-2021 school year.
