Will Ehrenfeld | Stuff Tufts People Like

March 2

Recently, TCU President Duncan Pickard wrote a really interesting letter to the editor, attempting to bring up issues of class on campus and encouraging conversations about the subject at Tufts. I wholeheartedly agree with his idea in this case and am grateful that the topic has been raised.

Starting today, the News and Features sections will combine every Friday to allow for more flexibility and interaction between the two. We hope that the Friday version will help improve the way in which we cover issues important to the Tufts community.
