Election Day is less than a month away, and Washington has been sending mixed signals about whether the threat of having armed federal immigration agents showing up at the polls still stands.

A landscape people had feelings for is being replaced with a ticker that refreshes every few seconds. Make of that what you will.

Students called him the King of the Grill. Then, he disappeared. Students who had built their routine around stopping by his line were asking each other the same question: what happened to Kenny?

Athletes have games, team connections, school pride and access to many things other students do not have. People don’t see what happens after practice - when athletes go back to their rooms, exhausted, open their laptops to start homework due by midnight, and then set an early morning lift alarm. Being a college athlete is

I wouldn’t know where to start showing someone my watch-later playlist. I have every chapter of Lenin’s Revolutionary Theory of Organization in a desk drawer, and the speech-to-text versions for each. My household drawers were stockpiles for filing papers, mail, tax forms, and IRS documenta

Art by Azam Hostetler It is no secret that Bridgeport, Conn., is subject to local feelings of polarizing scrutiny, as well as avoidance and fear from those unfamiliar with the region. Bridgeport’s rates of violent crime are extremely high, and it has consistently held the highest population of any CT city. In 2019, law enforcement reported that Hartford had the most murders and New Haven had the most burglaries, with both cities ranking highest in violent crime for the sta

SATIRE West Haven, April 1 2026 - The University of New Haven announced the appointment of two new support staff in the early afternoon, Wednesday. President Frederiksen says the role will improve communication between students and faculty in executive leadership. Students can expect to meet these eager faculty in Fall 2026.

(UPI)” Revolution seems ever more daunting as I learn the language of politics. My head feels heavy on my shoulders, with migraines spurred on by the latest newscycle. I think about my place in this world and feel small. I feel scared. So many of us are. Some of us are immediately threatened by state violence, and many of us feel pow

Photo Credit - University of New Haven International student enrollment has plummeted at the University of New Haven. The university experienced a 17% loss in revenue between 2024 and 2025. After a year of contentious financial restructuring, the university is going ‘all in’ on Artificial Intelligence, looking to regain student enrollment. Admission data at the university show a dramatic enrollment decline from 9,000 to 6,000. International students were often attracted by th

Watching the news has become infuriating. I have yet to find a proper way to describe the tension between a brick, my television screen and my good throwing-arm. Our reality is not being reported on with accuracy or respect. Especially the communities of people who’ve been marginalized the most. It is impossible for me to remain stoic while faced with intentional erasure of Black and Latino lives in the national immigration narrative. Even further, as a student set to enter

In a bid to balance a multi-million dollar loss in revenue from international students, the University of New Haven has fired or merged the responsibilities of some 46 faculty and staff members since June 2025. Jens Frederiksen, UNH president, and other cabinet leaders confirmed growing student concerns about missing staff during a public assembly with the undergraduate student government association in October. Included in that figure are staff members under the umbrella of
