DAILY BRIEFING Harvard’s police union filed an unfair labor practice complaint against the University with the National Labor Relations Board Thursday, according to the NLRB’s website. In an email sent to members of the Harvard University Police Association on Monday afternoon obtained by The Crimson, union president Michael J. Allen alleged that the Harvard University Police Department’s leadership violated the union’s contract by unilaterally cutting off officers’ access to a “daily roster” — a schedule that posts officers’ shifts. In other news, Harvard Medical School’s faculty council plans to vote Wednesday on a resolution urging the University to divest its endowment from the fossil fuel industry.
AROUND THE IVIES UPENN
The University of Pennsylvania announced that it will purchase carbon offsets on emissions for all University-sponsored air travel as part of its goal to become “carbon-neutral” by 2042, according to the Daily Pennsylvanian. The University subsidizes approximately 300 million miles of flights each year for faculty and staff business trips, per a spokesperson. That generates about 64,000 tons of carbon each year, which accounts for 20 percent of the school’s annual carbon emissions, according to an email from University President Amy Gutmann. That makes it the second-largest source of carbon emissions at University, topped only by energy consumption.
DARTMOUTH
Dartmouth students who said they were voting in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary for the Democratic presidential nomination are closely divided between Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and former mayor of South Bend, Ind., Peter P.M. Buttigieg ’04 as their preferred candidates in the presidential primary, according to a poll conducted by The Dartmouth over the weekend. Buttigieg lead the 300 students surveyed, with 33 percent of students listing him as their first-choice candidate. He was closely followed by Sanders, at 31 percent. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was 13 percent of students’ first-choice.
COLUMBIA
Barnard College administrators recommended that students returning to campus from China self-isolate, offering meal delivery and academic accommodations as support, the Columbia Daily Spectator reported. Students who did not comply received email threats of disciplinary action from Barnard College deputy dean Natalie Friedman. A Barnard spokesperson later clarified that students would face no consequences. In response to the administration’s and anti-Chinese messages on campus, students from Columbia and Barnard reached out to the administration to request better education on the coronavirus.
