Occupy Stanford members joined more than 1,500 protestors in Occupy Wall Street West's Friday march on the San Francisco financial district, according to The Stanford Daily. The Stanford University group's participation is part of an expansion of the Occupy movement involving new on-campus initiatives and collaboration with other universities on a new nationwide Occupy Education movement. The movement will take the form of a week-long protest beginning March 1 and will include a student walk-out and a joint student and faculty march from the University of California, Berkeley to Sacramento, according to The Daily. Occupy Education has gained popularity in Northern California due to tuition increases throughout the University of California system, a development that Occupy Stanford students see as an opportunity to strengthen the movement across multiple schools, The Daily reported.

Digital reforms to the Common Application, used by high school students to submit applications to 456 colleges and universities, will make the process simpler, faster and more intuitive beginning in 2013, The New York Times reported on Thursday. Improvements to the system, known to its creators as the Common App 4.0, will include the display of only a few questions at a time, and the system's ability to tailor the application based on a student's information. The cost of improving the system which was last updated six years ago is estimated to be between $7 million and $8 million, according to The Times. The improvements adapt to changes in technology that have taken place in recent years, as well as the sheer number of applications submitted through the Common Application system, which has increased by about 25 percent in the last year alone, The Times reported. The number of applications submitted through the Common Application system is projected to exceed 10 million by the end of this decade, according to The Times.

Julian Sarkar '13 and approximately 20 other students filed a breach of contract notice with the Office of Residential Life on Thursday, Sarkar said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The students, who met in the basement of North Massachusetts Residence at noon on Thursday, allege that the College violated the legal rights of undergraduates who signed a housing contract this past spring by "secretly" changing the terms of the contract during the summer, Sarkar said. While the original contract stipulated that students living in College housing purchase at least the $1,225 Mini Green plan, the modified contract replaced that option with three more expensive SmartChoice meal options starting at $1,440 per term, Sarkar said. The breach of contract notification is an attempt to halt the administration's "exploitation" of students, Sarkar said. Sarkar who said that living on campus became financially impossible due to the altered terms of the contract plans to file a class action lawsuit if the College fails to respond. Dartmouth's legal counsel is currently reviewing the matter, according to Director of Media Relations for the College Justin Anderson, who declined to comment further. Sarkar is a member of The Dartmouth Opinion Staff.

Fifteen law schools will face legal charges for misrepresenting their post-graduation employment figures to applicants, Inside Higher Ed reported. The prosecution which has not yet filed formal charges alleged that law schools have significantly inflated their reported employment rates by including part-time employment, employment in temporary positions and employment in jobs not requiring a JD in their statistics. The pending charges signal an ongoing attempt to highlight the difficult job market faced by young lawyers, according to Inside Higher Ed. Although law schools have become more transparent regarding employment data, such a shift has highlighted previous misleading reports, attorney David Anziska said in an interview with Inside Higher Ed. Executive Director of the Association of American Law Schools Susan Prager expressed concern that the recent allegations rely on the false assumption that law school graduates must be employed full-time in the legal field in order to be considered successful, Inside Higher Ed reported.
