Their color combination is just weird. They gave my son a t-shirt as an admitted student taking the visit...but he also asked for a hoodie from the campus store (I knew when he asked for that he sort of had made his decision). They had these light "carolina" blue hoodies with brown lettering. The one he got was a navy blue with Tufts in a block TUFTS in the lighter blue color.

Universities have been barring speech from their campuses for years. Well speech with which they disagree. That said, they have every right to limit the protest areas to spots on campus which guarantees the targets of those protests (Jewish students) aren’t affected. Universities for years have championed “safe spaces” for students. Especially minority students. I’m not sure anyone would disagree they are failing in that regard here. As I said prior, if these protests and calls for voilence were directed at any other minority group I believe you would see a much different response. I do agree that many of the protestors aren’t students btw. However, the universities haven’t shown much of a desire to kick those individuals off campuses.

Plenty of articles of Jewish students being trapped in buildings, prevented from going to class, having items thrown at them and even attacked.

These are private campuses that are being protested on. I personally think that those that are in the main protest areas should have to show their student ID on request. They should kick the non students off of the campus that are only there to protest. They are allowing a protest on private grounds. It becomes much easier to police when it is on public grounds, not in an area where students are going to class. The students can then decide if they want to go to the public protest, or stay on campus grounds for the student protest.

College campuses have been anything but champions of free speech over the last 20 years. Label speech as “hateful” or “inciteful” (basically speech with which the college leaderships disagrees) and ban the same. It’s been a disgrace how they’ve allowed intimidation and at time violence against Jewish students at some of the universities. Actions which would never be tolerated against any other minority group.

That is true, and not a good aspect of these protests. But you have to honor freedom of speech.

The story behind how they are the Jumbos is interesting. Almost as interesting as how WPI is the Goats (named Gompei). But not quite as interesting as how TU became the Golden Hurricane

I think they are hoping for Putin and the political regime to collapse. It isn't going to happen.

The only realistic way to end this is for NATO to start bombing Russian positions in Ukraine. It is how we ended the Kosovo war in 1999. This would be on a scale we have never seen since WW2. Yeah, we are going to lose planes and pilots. They have serious air defences. Your little A10s that every cowboy gets their dick hard on Youtube about are worthless.



Everyone wants this big badass military but never wants to use it for anything. Since Vietnam, Ukraine has been the biggest testing ground for weaponry against a real power!

This conflict has proven a lot of good things for us: the power of drone tech. Tanks aren't dead. Cesar's artillery is really badass. We need to be able to produce lots more 122MM shells on a grand scale. That is why we are expanding our capacity to three times what it is now.

A huge percentage of this bill is getting spent right here in the US of A building stuff. People need to stop crying. They just don't like it because the big orange man doesn't get to act like a badass killing Russians.

Well, if anyone could explain how I drop a JPEG in here that'd be ****ing great. I haven't been able to figure out how to get a picture in here in the 10 years I've been on the site. @Chris Harmon maybe you could talk to the folks at Rivals and they could figure out a better way for us to drop media in here

So as someone who works in college administration, I cannot tell you the anxiety it gives me that parents/students have a direct line to the President of any university. As we all know, when things come down from the top they are usually over reactionary and they fall hard on the person below and so forth until it lands where it finally needs to be at to work on a solution, but by this time it's a ****ing avalanche of misinformation and incorrect understandings of what was actually told to the student. ORU operated on this idea that this was the best way to get things done. And everything was an overreaction, many times the individuals who could actually help the student with their situation had never been approached but Wilson automatically assumed that the reason the parents/students were calling him was because they didn't find satisfaction elsewhere when the fact is, they just figured they would start at the top. I can't help you with your housing situation if you don't come and tell me so don't go and tell the head guy that no one has helped you. You haven't asked. Lawless used to call and ask if this person had come to talk with us about the situation and if we said no, he'd say, I'm sending them to you, if you can help them now, great, if not, give them some options and the policy. He'd then ask us what we could do and when so he'd be in the loop and he could say housing will help you when it's the appropriate time (most frequently they wanted a room change into a room that didn't have any space in it b/c someone was assigned to the room but hadn't arrived yet....at ORU I was asked on numerous occasions by the president's office to just reassign that person to another space and accommodate the student complaining about it). Sorry...rant over. I'm all for customer service but let the people who can actually help the student be the first line.

I liked Michigan a lot too. I don't think he could have gone wrong with any of his final 3 to be honest, although Michigan was going to cost us a pretty penny (more than Tufts after aid was figured). I think he felt Michigan was a bit too big. Tufts I think is going to be a great size and I know he has fallen in love with the Boston area and the idea of being able to find internships and jobs at the big EE/CE companies in the area. Plus, the schools he was most excited about on his list were in large city settings. He didn't get accepted into any of the Ivy's but I think only Columbia disappointed him. I think Tufts gives him the right sized school and community and just a 10 minute T-ride into Boston and apparently the Red Sox still do student tickets at $9 to be a center field bleacher creature. He should have a chance to play soccer at Tufts as well whether it's varsity (3 National championships since 2016) or one of their 2 competitive club teams that travel and play inter collegiately and who are quite good according to the web articles we've read. Engineering school is good and a tier 1 research institution. And another school with a really weird story on how it got its mascot and nickname...so weird PT Barnum had a hand in it.

I was familiar with Tufts being from MA and I had quite a few friends from HS who went to Tufts as well. Many of them still live in the area so I'll be calling on them for support since my son will be a long way from us.

Congrats. Was quietly hoping for Michigan but Tufts is an elite academic institution. All his hard work paid off. #eliteeducation.
