The Dartmouth Club of New York erroneously invited applicants who were waitlisted or denied admission this year to its spring admitted students reception, according to an email sent by admissions officer Isabel Casariego Bober to New York interviewers. The invitation list, which also included admitted students, was incorrectly drawn from Dartmouth's New York applicant database. In the email, Bober said the admissions office would follow up directly with the students who were incorrectly contacted. Bober encouraged interviewers to refer applicants who may have inquired about the error to Admissions.
More than 1,000 people signed a petition protesting Harvard University's choice of the rapper Tyga to headline its annual Yardfest concert, The Harvard Crimson reported. The petition cited Tyga's "explicitly and violently misogynistic lyrics" as cause for concern and urged administrators to cancel the performance. Petition signers included current students and alumni in Cambridge, Mass. and across the country. The petition's organizers said they were optimistic that the university would respond to their efforts. University of Pennsylvania's choice of Tyga for its Spring Fling concert also drew student criticism. Penn students placed posters around campus, which exhibited lyrics they perceived as especially misogynistic, and started a Google group titled "We Can Do Better" to centralize student opposition.
Authorities have identified surveillance camera footage believed to show missing Brown University student Sunil Tripathi several hours after he was last seen, The Brown Daily Herald reported. The footage shows a man presumed to be Tripathi, who went missing two weeks ago, walking near his apartment in Providence, R.I. The footage was taken at 1:33 a.m. on March 16, and is considered to be the most substantial lead in the case, according to The Herald. The camera does not show Tripathi returning to the apartment. Family members have reached out to Providence businesses for more surveillance videos that could indicate Tripathi's whereabouts. Family members have created a Facebook page, which has garnered over 4,700 likes since its launch last week. Tripathi's family members have been searching for him since he disappeared and appeared on many major news networks asking people to remain vigilant.
