Nothing is more exciting than watching, laughing and screaming at over-the-top horror movie scenes, from Samara crawling out of a well in "The Ring" (2002) to twins appearing ominously in "The Shining" (1980). But one thing may be even better (and more satisfying): forcing helpless friends to watch ...

I agree with much of the Daily’s editorial, “Greek Life transparency a vital change of pace.” It is necessary and important that the University is straightforward with its student body, that it explains what is happening and what actions it is taking to combat toxic and violent behaviors and histories.However, ...
I’ve been watching the unfolding drama on Pro Row during my undergrad career at Tufts, and I think it’s almost as good as Games of Thrones (2011–). You have the Establishment vs the Rebel, engaging in a lengthy attritional war. Since last year, the Rebel launched a massive attack that devastated the Establishment. It’s unclear whether the latter is defeated or now plotting a counterattack. What an epic story; it makes my walk along the Row on a Friday night even better than a Broadway show.
In the nearly eight months since Donald Trump assumed the presidency, America has faced the most serious threat to its political system in recent history. Trump became president partly because he spoke for voters who felt that the government is working against them. He pledged to fix our politics by ...
The white supremacist rally that took place in Charlottesville is not hard to condemn. Torch-bearing individuals, as seen in VICE's documentary, paraded through the streets yelling "Jews will not replace us." Neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan supporters spewed veiled (and not-so veiled) threats ...

As another summer comes to a close and students return to our home away from home on the Hill, we, the Managing Board of The Tufts Daily, would like to introduce our plan of action for the upcoming semester. Central to this plan is our continual aim to increase outreach in crafting accurate and comprehensive ...
The Tufts Part-time Faculty Union met with the university several times this past spring and summer to negotiate a follow-up to our first contract, signed in 2014. The union had hoped to reach an agreement before our contract expired on June 30, 2017. We felt that a new understanding would reflect a ...
The full cost of a Tufts education has finally exceeded $70,000 per year. This incredibly high tuition price is more than just intimidating — it undermines the culture of diversity and accessibility that Tufts strives to promote. Campus movements like #HaltTheHike have highlighted the difficulties ...
When it rains a year's worth in 48 hours, you don't mop the floors, drain the streets, put on rubber boots and get on with your life.If you're unlucky, you spend a week ripping out damp carpet, prying up rotten wood floors and tearing off musty drywall. You toss away furniture, memorabilia ...
