by Aaron Smargon ‘11 This Veteran’s Day, the Tory hosted a talk by Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser titled “Is Islam the Problem?” Unlike Nonie Darwish, our guest speaker last spring, Dr. Jasser was not here to shun his faith. It would be difficult for him, in fact, since he is a devout Muslim. While Dr. […]
by Aaron Smargon ‘11 For nearly half its history, the University has intermittently issued policy recommendations regarding the independent eating clubs of Prospect Avenue (AKA “The Street”).
