DAILY BRIEFING A team of Harvard scientists will collaborate with a Chinese research institute in a five-year effort to study the novel coronavirus, which has infected more than 78 thousand people worldwide, according to a University press release Monday. In other news, multiple student activist organizations held demonstrations throughout Junior Family Weekend, advocating for causes from a contract for Harvardâs graduate student union to the establishment of a formalized ethnic studies program.
White House officials are expected to request emergency funding from Congress to battle the coronavirus, according to two officials familiar with the pending request. New coronavirus cases stemming from US passengers on the luxury cruise ship, Diamond Princess, have prompted this action.
Sotomayer Blasts Republican-Appointed Supreme Court Justices
In response to the Supreme Courtâs recent decision in Illinois to approve the Trump administrationâs âpublic chargeâ rule, which limits visa obtainment by certain non-citizens, Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a scathing rebuke discussing the courtâs behavior of siding with the government when the administration seeks emergency stays of rulings against them.
AROUND THE IVIES YALE According to the Yale Daily News, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Yale held a meeting to discuss the ethics behind Yaleâs investments for the first time last week after several student protests demanded that Yale divest all fossil fuel-related holdings. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences Senate invited student activists and experts on ethical investing to the meeting, where attendees debated the relevance of the Investment Officeâs manual for ethical investing. By the end of the meeting, a consensus on the scope of divestment was not reached and FAS Senate Chair John Geanakoplos said the topic of investment ethics may be reconsidered in future meetings.
DARTMOUTH
A new âequivalent social spaceâ called Bar One debuted at Dartmouth to offer students an alternative space for socializing, according to The Dartmouth. The new campus offering will be open weekly and serve as an âinformal bar spaceâ where students can interact on a regular basis. Nearly 140 students attended the grand opening of Bar One, which was created by the Palaeopitus Senior Society and funded by the Office of the President. One of the organizers of Bar One cited a lack of social spaces on campus as one of the main reasons for creating the space.
CORNELL
A panel at a Cornell Student Assembly Meeting held last Thursday called on the university administration to abolish the student contribution fee, according to the Cornell Daily Sun. The student panel argued that the fee â which can range from $2,700 to $3,700 â poses a significant financial barrier to low-income students. Students from the Peopleâs Organizing Collective backed the resolution arguing for the introduction of a pilot program to waive the fee. The resolution passed unanimously in the Student Assembly.
