The United Labor of Tufts Resident Assistants and the Tufts facility workers’ union, 32BJ Service Employees International Union, have begun bargaining sessions with the university, seeking higher pay and a variety of additional benefits and protections in their new contracts.
In recent faculty meetings, Tufts professors have discussed the purpose of existing general education policies, namely the university’s writing requirement. They have been assessing a proposal that would prevent students from placing out of the requirement.
As summer approaches, many Tufts students look to complete an internship during the break in order to gain professional experience and learn new skills. However, many student internships are often unpaid or underpaid, leaving many students making the difficult choice of either doing work they are passionate about or seeking stability. The Tufts Career Center Summer Internship Grant Program seeks to alleviate this issue by expanding access to unpaid or underpaid summer internships, particularly for students who might otherwise be unable to pursue them due to financial constraints.

Before Boots Riley redefined himself as a full-blown filmmaker with his 2018 film “Sorry To Bother You,” he was the established front man of Oakland-based rap group The Coup. The group is a politically incendiary collective whose most popular records bear titles like “My Favorite Mutiny” and “5 Million Ways To Kill a C.E.O.” The son of a civil rights attorney and a Jewish refugee-turned-activist, Riley spent his teenage years organizing school walkouts and rising through the ranks of the Progressive Labor Party.
Has Gregg Araki ever truly been a provocateur, or is he just a breezy, sex-positive activist stuck in an important filmmaker’s body? The anarchic energy of his early work points to the former, but his latest, despite its provocative title “I Want Your Sex,” suggests he may have evolved into something closer to the latter — if there’s a difference between them at all.
Governor Wes Moore of Maryland visited Tufts on April 16 for an invite-only event with students. The event, preceded by a meeting with University President Sunil Kumar, was moderated by Alan Solomont, former dean of the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life and U.S. ambassador to Spain and Andorra, and featured questions from students.
“The history of medicine is built on a bed of corpses,” journalist Hayley Campbell wrote in her 2022 book “All the Living and the Dead.” These corpses are cadavers, donated or unclaimed human remains used for scientific research. Krista Johansen, a clinical anatomist and assistant professor at the Tufts University School of Medicine in the Department of Medical Education, works with these cadavers every day.
The Tufts Daily’s investigative article on financial aid (“Tufts students face midyear financial aid cuts, miscommunication from administration,” April 23) provides an incomplete and misleading picture of the state of financial aid at Tufts University. While we always want to hear from families when they have concerns about financial aid and while student perspectives are essential to understanding their lived experiences, it is also important that news articles on these topics accurately reflect institutional context and regulatory requirements. In this case, the article omits or does not fully explain the following important information, all of which was provided to the Daily prior to publication.
Well, here we are once again. My final publication of the school year. Wow.
New TCU Senate budget drops roughly $400k from previous year: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
On June 29, 2023, Anthony Monaco, Tufts’ outgoing president, and incoming president Sunil Kumar co-signed a message sent to the entire Tufts community. In this email, the two addressed breaking news coming out of the Supreme Court: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard had been decided in favor of the plaintiff, ending affirmative action at private universities across the United States. Both Monaco and Kumar stressed that Tufts had advocated against this decision, and they stayed true to the Tufts spirit, stating, “we must—and we will—respect the law, but nothing the court said today will change our institutional values and our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.” Now, almost three years later, we as the editorial board want to evaluate whether Tufts has stayed true to its ethos.
The new A24 film “The Drama” (2026), directed by Kristoffer Borgli and starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, looks good on paper: It has a likable cast, great humor, engagement with social issues and a theme that extends beyond the generic plots romantic comedies often embody. All in all, “The Drama” seems to check many of the boxes that would typically appeal to viewers. Yet after watching it, I was left completely unfulfilled.
In less than 50 days, the world’s biggest sporting event will come to American soil. It will arrive with a fair share of complications. The host nation — or rather, one of three — has instigated a vastly unpopular conflict with one of the participants. Haiti qualified for the first time in 50 years, and their fans can’t get into the country to watch. Hotel prices in host cities have dropped by a third. Somewhere within all this, Gianni Infantino is smiling — or trying to stop fecal matter from falling down his leg, or maybe something in between.
The Tufts Community Union Elections Commission hosted a debate on Wednesday night between three candidates running for TCU president: Brendan French, Michael Glueck and Defne Olgun.
