DAILY BRIEFING Anthony T. Carvello, a Harvard University police officer who came under scrutiny last month for his use of force in an arrest at the Smith Campus Center, has also received criticism for his use of force in two other recent arrests of homeless black men at the Smith Center. Just two weeks ago, witnesses criticized Carvello for pushing a man to the floor while arresting him for trespassing in the Smith Center. In other news, Associate Applied Physics professor Shmuel M. Rubinstein sued Harvard in Middlesex County Superior Court last week, citing a dispute concerning his employment contract.
Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte announced early Sunday that the country’s northern region, including major cities like Milan and Venice, would be placed under quarantine until April 3. This, along with other measures including event cancellations and guidelines for eateries, are the latest in the country’s attempts to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Gender Violence and Inequality Protests for International Women’s Day Women in Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Chile, and other countries took part in large-scale demonstrations to bring attention to gender inequality, violence, and other injustices on International Women’s Day Sunday.
AROUND THE IVIES YALE The number of Yale students requesting accommodations in the last three years has nearly tripled, according to a Yale Student Accessibility Services email obtained by the Yale Daily News. The message said the school plans to make changes in order to improve exam experiences for students with accomodations, including faculty-proctored tests. Yale SAS Director Sarah Chang pointed to a decrease in the stigma around disabilities as a possible reason for the spike in accommodation requests.
CORNELL
Around 30 activists held a demonstration in protest of Cornell University’s continued investment in fossil fuels and the toll that the industry takes against indigenous women, according to the Cornell Sun. The demonstrators flew an Iroquois flag and held signs that read “No more stolen sisters.” The demonstration was jointly held by Climate Justice Cornell and Native American and Indigenous Students at Cornell. The description for the event on Facebook alleged that “Cornell is complicit in the trauma of murdered and missing indigenous women,” and said that the “university’s abuse of native peoples spans its origins, and divestment from fossil fuels is a necessary step.”
COLUMBIA
Family members and friends of Malika Jones — a Barnard College student who has been charged with murdering her mother — have created a support group called Justice4Malika, according to the Columbia Spectator. The group is aiming to change the portrayal of Jones in the news media. A member of the group told The Spectator that they hoped to “humanize” Jones and “celebrate the positive impact” she had on her community. Jones’ attorney claimed that the stabbing was an act of self-defense.
