Graduate students at the University of Colorado Boulder kicked-off a week of protest against mandatory fees that they say are taking advantage of their right to work. Led by the Committee on Rights and Compensation (CRC), students held a sit-in Monday in the Regent Administrative Center which are set to continue from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. throughout the week, culminating in a walk-out Friday at noon on Farrand Field.

“Integrity, integration, inclusivity, impact and innovation” are the watchwords of Drexel’s new 10-year strategic plan, which was released Dec. 17.
The two-year undertaking is summarized in a brief framework, called “Drexel 2030: Designing the Future,” that outlines the initiatives, values and goals that will guide Drexel through the anticipated challenges of the coming decade.
The plan was drafted against a backdrop of changing trends in higher education, specifically demographic declines in high school graduates and international students, and it was made more urgent over the past year by the closure of Hahnemann Hospital and the acquisition of St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, the pivot to remote instruction, and nationwide calls for racial equity.
