DAILY BRIEFING

Harvard Law School professors Laurence H. Tribe ’62 and Alan M. Dershowitz have spent the past several weeks engaging in a public, personal feud unlike perhaps any other at the University, sparked by Dershowitz’s decision to defend President Donald J. Trump in his Senate impeachment trial. Dershowitz formally joined Trump’s defense team on Jan. 17. In other news, roughly 30 Winthrop House affiliates called on College administrators to keep interim faculty deans Mark D. Gearan ’78 and Mary Herlihy-Gearan in their roles at a house forum Thursday.

IN THE REAL WORLD

Who Won and Who Lost the Iowa Caucus? As the candidates have moved on to New Hampshire without all of the Iowa caucus results yet, some candidates, including United States Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg ’04, may be in a better position than others.

The Chinese Government Tightens Measures During Coronavirus Outbreak Chinas has implemented house searches to collect individuals sick with coronavirus in an attempt to stem the spread of the disease. More than 31,000 people around the world, including China and more than 20 other countries have been infected with coronavirus.

Eight-Year-Old Girl Takes a Stand on Climate Change Eight-year-old Licypriya Kangujam has been campaigning to take on climate change in India for the past two years. She has been pushing for new laws to decrease India’s high pollution and said she is motivated by the horrible events she has witnessed around the world, such as the loss of homes due to climate disasters.

AROUND THE IVIES

COLUMBIA An anti-Chinese message was found on a blackboard in Columbia University’s Butler Library, the Columbia Daily Spectator reported Thursday. The message comes in the wake of growing concerns about the coronavirus and rising numbers of racist incidents nationwide. Images of the blackboard, which read “Wuhan virus isolation area” in Chinese, were shared across Columbia students’ social media accounts. After the discovery of the blackboard message, Columbia and Barnard sent messages to their student bodies condemning anti-Chinese sentiments and providing medical contact information.

YALE According to the Yale Daily News, the District Court of Connecticut dismissed eight of nine counts involving alleged gender discrimination against the University and nine on-campus fraternities. Engender, an equality and social inclusion student group, brought the suit. The dismissal comes after Engender failed to prove the University willfully ignored cases of alleged harassment by members of the fraternities. The singular count that was not dismissed involves a female student who reported an alleged assault to a Yale counselor who may have been indifferent to her allegation.

CORNELL The Cornell Daily Sun reported that Cornell’s Student Activities Funding Commission is attempting to “boost club funding” following a 40 percent increase in the student activity fee. The fee — which is paid by undergraduates to support campus student groups — was raised from $234 to $321 in December. According to the Sun, clubs are having difficulty with the SAFC’s “strict rules when receiving funding from the organization.” The majority of the fee increase is intended to address a mismatch between club funding requests and the commission’s ability to fulfill them.
