in The Real World How Coronavirus Has Affected China
Although the death toll of the coronavirus has already exceeded that of the SARS outbreak back in 2002 and 2003 in mainland China, there has been an increase in the number of recoveries recently. A new hospital, promised to be built in 10 days, has been built specifically for those infected with the virus.
Join Ambassador Samantha Power for a talk on China, the UN, and the future of human rights in the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.

Daily Briefing Lawyers representing Reihana Emami Arandi — an Iranian citizen deported from Logan International Airport last fall while trying to attend Harvard Divinity School — filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Homeland Security’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Office on Thursday. Arandi’s lawyers have also filed a mandamus petition in the U.S. District Court in the District of Massachusetts requesting the Court require CBP to quickly adjudicate her case. In other news, a panel of women who accused former Government professor Jorge I. Dominguez of sexual misconduct spoke to more than 100 audience members. In other news, experts say the recent federal crackdown on academic espionage — particularly connected to the Chinese government — could have negative effects on collaboration between universities.
Efforts at “quality control” delayed the results of the 2020 Iowa Caucus, where seven Democratic candidates have mounted competitive campaigns. Strategists have pointed to high turnout numbers as a potential boon to candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.)
Big Tech Companies Continue to Grow, Despite Regulations
Despite the regulations in place, companies such as Apple and Google continue to grow at rapid speeds, leaving smaller companies unable to keep up. One of the implications of this effect is the increasing gap between the “haves” and “have nots.”
Around the Ivies Princeton
Princeton University is requiring all mediumrisk and high-risk students, faculty, and staff who have traveled to mainland China within the last two weeks self-isolate for at least 14 days due to coronavirus, the Daily Princetonian reported on Sunday. As of Sunday, a total of 108 students — 94 graduate students and 14 undergraduates — had entered into self isolation, in addition to a “smaller number” of faculty, postdocs, and staff. Princeton also banned all students, faculty, and staff from travelling to mainland on sponsored programs or business trips.
COLUMBIA
Columbia University announced that it will not provide funding or credit opportunities abroad in China until coronavirus has “run its course,” the Columbia Spectator reported on Sunday. Columbia will also not grant student group permission to visit China. Columbia, which has almost 6,000 Chinese students, advised those who have traveled in mainland China within the last two weeks to reach out for assistance and recommendations.
yale
The Yale College Council has joined the Endowment Justice Coalition in support of transparent and ethical investment practices, the Yale Daily News reported on Sunday. The Endowment Justice Coalition has two central demands: that Yale divest from fossil fuels and cancel its holdings in Puerto Rican debt. The resolution to join the coalition unanimously passed the Yale College Council Senate on Jan. 25. Yale’s council announced that it will act as “formal partners” with the coalition to “[tackle] the climate crisis through divestment-related activism.”
