In the heyday of sophomore summer, the hot air clung to campus like a sweaty bed sheet, a strained bubble threatening to burst, saturated with a tantalizing blend of feverish heat and fervent youth. The Connecticut River sparkled, beckoning the glare of the rising sun creeping from the east. Down Tuck Drive, she was sitting alone on a bench. It was uncharacteristically early, and campus had only just begun to stir. In the stillness of the morning, she was numb.

Following the April 19 Dimensions show protest by Real Talk Dartmouth, a female protester tried to file an assault charge against a custodian who attempted to physically block her from entering the building, Hanover Police captain and interim chief Frank Moran said. The Dimensions show was held in the Class of 1953 Commons, and the building had already reached its maximum capacity. Although the protester said the custodian used physical force against her, the use of force in defense of property is justified under New Hampshire law RSA 627:8. Given the level and purpose of the force, Hanover Police determined that there is insufficient evidence of assault, Moran said. The protesters violated fire codes by putting the building over capacity, he said.

The Education Department fined Yale University $165,000 for failing to report four incidents of sexual assault in 2001 and 2002, the Yale Daily News reported. Yale will pay $27,500 for each incident, plus additional fines for not including certain policy statements and information from the Yale-New Haven Hospital in its crime data. Omitting such information violates both the Clery Act and the Campus Crime Statistics Act. The department began its investigation in 2004 after an article in the Yale Alumni Magazine raised concerns about Yale's compliance with the Clery Act and found the university guilty of noncompliance in 2010. University spokesperson Tom Conroy said Yale asked the department to reconsider the fine.

In effort to promote academic integrity, student councils from all four of Columbia University's undergraduate schools have passed or are expected to pass a resolution to establish an honor pledge and honor code at the university, the Columbia Daily Spectator reported. The university-wide resolution would require new students, including transfer students, to recite an honor pledge during convocation and again during an inter-school orientation event, where they would sign the pledge. An honor code may also be printed on Columbia blue books. The Columbia College Student Council and Engineering Student Council have passed independent resolutions, and the General Studies Student Council and Barnard's Student Government Association are expected to pass similar versions this week. The resolution was crafted by the Academic Integrity Task force, which will be responsible for implementing the honor code by fall 2013. Current students will not be required to recite the pledge.
