After Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed “An Act Relative to Salary Range Transparency” into law, Tufts University launched a faculty range transparency initiative and completed a university-wide faculty market analysis — efforts that have drawn mixed reactions from faculty members.
President Donald Trump’s enforcement of anti-environmentalist policies is nothing new. He started his second term by removing almost all mentions of climate change from the Environmental Protection Agency’s website, reversing a key ruling on greenhouse gases and most recently, ordering the Department of Defense to purchase electricity from coal plants. There have also been a number of quieter, less flashy actions enacted under this current administration that have flown under the radar. It’s easy to shake our heads when Trump says “drill, baby, drill,” but the actual legislative impacts of this administrative goal can often go ignored.
Kate Burnett has passed. (Well, I only recently found out, and it was five years ago when she departed this world.) She had reached the ripe old age of 94.
I, like at least 128 million others, spent Feb. 8 watching Bad Bunny perform in the Super Bowl halftime show. And like most of those 128 million, I loved the performance; it was rich with cultural references, amazing visuals and a message of love. What Bad Bunny did was celebrate Puerto Rico, with all of its beauty and struggles. He also showcased an important cultural legacy: the Indigenous Taíno peoples and their survival, which is part of the broader story of Puerto Rican culture.
Welcome back, fellow soup enthusiasts — we missed you. What a whirlwind of emotions this week has been! From a balmy 50-degree Saturday to unexpected snow on Tuesday, it is amazing how quickly things can change. But whatever the temperature, one thing stays constant: the comfort produced by a good bowl of soup.
The survival rate in infants with severe combined immunodeficiency, a rare hereditary disease that prevents the body from producing immune cells, is 96% when they receive a bone marrow transplant in their first 3½ months of life. If transplantation is delayed, that number drops to 70%. Without treatment, most children die before their first birthday. This condition is rarely visible at birth and only becomes apparent after a major infection, often outside of the window of opportunity for treatment.
Q: How do you actually take the high road when you genuinely hate someone? And I mean genuinely HATE. I know I’m supposed to ‘be the bigger person,’ but what does that actually mean when being the smaller, pettier person feels so much more natural?
Editor’s note: Several sources chose to only provide their first names out of fear of retaliation.
Two new Torah scrolls were completed and dedicated at Tufts University on Sunday, Mar. 1. The completion of the scrolls was marked by the sacred writing of the last letter, followed by dancing, singing and speeches.

We’re back, and this time with a bookstore that is only a stone’s throw away from campus. Sharing a name with its neighborhood, our store for this week is Porter Square Books. No matter if you walk, bike, bus or MBTA, the store is less than 30 minutes away.
“What a lovely home I found myself plummeting toward, acquiring, as I fell, arms, hands, legs, feet, all of which, as usual, became more substantial with each passing second.” So begins “Vigil.” Just as we are abruptly dropped into the surreal world of George Saunders’ latest novel, our principal character, Jill Blaine, is dropped onto Earth and into her signature black pumps.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Friday that the Department of Defense would end attendance for active-duty military personnel at 13 universities, including Tufts, due to what he called “wokeness” and “indoctrination.”

Welcome back to “Serve & Survey.” In honor of midterms season, when Tisch Library is at its fullest and everyone suddenly becomes best friends with their Google Calendar, I wanted to ask about something related to our drive throughout all of this: our futures. Given that Tufts is a very academically rigorous institution, we’re all working hard to pass our classes. But why is there so much pressure?
