DAILY BRIEFING
The United States added new charges to a lawsuit it has filed against Huawei, a large Chinese telecommunications company. The U.S. has accused the company of stealing trade secrets and violating American sanctions. Its CFO, Meng Wanzhou, is currently in custody in Canada, fighting extradition to the U.S.
Protesters from Divest Harvard occupied University Hall Thursday afternoon as part of a rally held on the National Day of Divestment. In a closing statement, Divest Harvard member Joseph Winters announced that the University has a deadline of Earth Day — April 22 — to divest from the fossil fuel industry. In other news, Harvard Medical School professors overwhelmingly passed a resolution Wednesday urging the University to divest its endowment from the fossil fuel industry.
AROUND THE IVIES CORNELL Fossil fuel divestment protestors from Climate Justice Cornell blocked an intersection on campus for over two hours Thursday afternoon, demanding that Cornell divest its endowment from the fossil fuel industry, the Cornell Daily Sun reported. Before they blocked the intersection, the protestors occupied a public plaza to stage a “wedding” between a puppet representing Cornell and a puppet labeled “big oil.” The wedding included a dance party in the intersection that featured music including “Gold Digger” by Kanye West and “Toxic” by Britney Spears.
PRINCETON
The Princeton Police Department launched a body camera pilot program with six police officers in early February, the Daily Princetonian reported. The program — which has been planned for four years — aims to increase transparency at the department. In 2015, the Princeton Police Department received a $15,000 grant to purchase body cameras. Student leaders of the group Students for Prison Education and Reform criticized the program and suggested that cameras be turned on at all times.
YALE
The Yale College Dean’s Office announced that rising seniors will now have the choice to live in mixed residential college housing, the Yale Daily News reported. Yale College Dean Marvin Chun previously suggested the change as part of an effort to keep students on campus their senior year. Yale’s residential colleges, like Harvard’s houses, are dormitory complexes where students are assigned to live. Forty percent of seniors live off campus, according to a Yale College Council Fall Survey.
