Brandeis’ failed response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: ‘Unity week against the War’ is an insulting joke
A week after Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, Brandeis finally decided to respond by holding events regarding the matter.

Wendy’s ‘Hot Honey Biscuit’ is an abomination
A few weeks ago we reviewed Wendy’s new “Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich” and found it questionable at best.

Brandeis’ response to Russian invasion is outrageous
During my four years at Brandeis, I have accepted that Brandeis doesn’t really care about its international students. I am not here to claim that all international students feel like this, but in my experience Brandeis is not the best place in terms of cultural sensitivity. All of this is to say that I do […]
