Who knew Yale Law students could fantasize? Takes the cross-examination to a whole new level.
Drug test coming up? Not to fret: The Weekly has published three students’ stories on how they successfully faked their way through their drug test to land jobs. Most creative use for a condom? Filling it with…well, maybe we don’t have to go there. [The Weekly]
Gentleman, don’t count yourself out just yet. A study just released by Postsecondary Education Opportunity claims that for every 100 women enrolled in a university, there are 77 men. At this week’s College Board Forum in New York, educators (which included the NU Admissions Department) tried to explain this widening gender gap. One of their explanations: “the media portrayal of smart young men generally is of socially awkward boys who don’t get dates to the prom.” We’re confused. Are they saying that the gender gap in education can be blamed on “The Breakfast Club?” [NYT/The Choice]
Two recent grads at Yale University’s Law School just settled out of court after they made harassing comments on an anonymous, gossip website. The website, called AutoAdmit, describes itself as “the most prestigious law-school discussion board in the world.” Two women filed the suit anonymously after they found the comments in which the two male students made sexual remarks and included fantasies about the two women. Who knew that Yale Law girls were so lusted after? [The Chronicle]
And pot again! This time NBN tells you to cancel “that flight from Chicago to Amsterdam this winter” because medical marijuana is on its way! Well, almost. More accurately, medical marijuana is very, very close to coming to Illinois, as The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act passed through the upper House of the Illinois legislature last week. Once the bill is fully approved and signed by the governor, therapeutic weed will be coming to the Land of Lincoln. [NBN]
