DAILY BRIEFING In a dramatic rebuke of administrators’ longstanding position on whether Harvard should invest in fossil fuels, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences voted overwhelmingly at its monthly meeting Tuesday to demand the Harvard Corporation divest the University’s endowment. The vote marks the culmination of a four-month-long debate in faculty meetings over the proper role of the University in combating climate change. In other news, Harvard University Police Department Chief Francis D. “Bud” Riley “will be moving forward in the near future” with an internal review of his department in response to a recent report of racism, sexism, and alleged favoritism, according to an email he sent to HUPD employees Tuesday night.
At least 17 Iranian students holding valid visas have been prevented from entering the U.S. since August 2019. Most were given five-year bans from visiting the U.S. following attempts to come and study. Iran is one of 13 countries affected by President Donald J. Trump’s travel ban, which exempts student visas.
Macy’s to Close 125 Department Stores, Exit Weakest Malls
As online shopping becomes increasingly popular, Macy’s plans to close roughly a fifth of its locations over the next three years. The department store also hopes to restructure its current stores by closing its mall stores in favor of smaller strip center stores.
AROUND THE IVIES YALE
A burst pipe on the fourth floor of Baker Hall, a Yale Law School dormitory and office, forced seven students to evacuate for an unspecified amount of time, according to the Yale Daily News. Though most rooms were reportedly unaffected by the incident, students have had to abandon belongings that were damaged in the process. One of the most recently renovated buildings at the Law School, Baker Hall will now undergo repairs as a team cleans and replaces waterlogged walls in the most heavily impacted rooms. Although students have complained about the consequences of the situation, many have also commended the Yale administration’s efforts to resolve any issues.
PRINCETON
Former Ukranian Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, a member of Princeton’s Class of 1980, retired from the State Department after nearly 35 years in the foreign service, the Daily Princetonian reported. Yovanovitch was recalled from her ambassadorship in May 2019 by U.S. President Donald J. Trump after attempting to intervene in Trump’s attempt to pressure the Ukranian president to investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings in the country. Yovanovitch subsequently had been embroiled in Trump’s impeachment inquiry; she testified in public congressional impeachment hearings in November. The Senate is set to vote on whether to acquit the president on Wednesday.
CORNELL
A Cornell student has shown symptoms like those of the novel coronavirus and is currently being kept in isolation, although the student has not been confirmed to have the virus, the Cornell Daily Sun reported. Cornell has recently barred students from travelling to China for Cornell-related events, and study abroad programs to China have also been called off. Similar to the flu, coronavirus includes symptoms such as coughing, high fever, sore throat, and breathing difficulties.
