World Bank President and former College President Jim Yong Kim joined other financial leaders on Sunday to tell Congress to reopen the U.S. government and raise the debt ceiling to avoid major economic issues, The New York Times reported on Sunday. Kim and other leaders originally went to Washington, D.C. to discuss the international economic recovery, but the topic transformed into the United States' fiscal problems, including the increasing likelihood that the Treasury Department will run out of the money needed to pay its bills in the coming weeks. Kim said hitting the debt ceiling would be "a very dangerous moment," especially for developing countries.
Krimsky went to Russia in 1974 after he refused to believe the Western media's descriptions of the country. Shortly after arriving, however, Krimsky said he noticed how tightly monitored journalists were.

Evelynn Hammonds, Harvard University's undergraduate dean, will step down on July 1 after a controversial five-year tenure, The New York Times reported. Hammonds came under fire this spring for authorizing searches of faculty emails. In March, the university revealed that Hammonds, Harvard's first African-American and female dean, approved the search of 16 resident deans' email accounts in an attempt to find who had leaked information about students suspected of cheating. Hammonds said that the controversy surrounding the email searches, which many faculty members protested, was not a factor in her decision to step down as dean and that she had planned to return to academia for several years. Hammonds will remain at Harvard, where she will lead a new program exploring the intersection of gender and race in science.
A Princeton University student was hospitalized with symptoms of bacterial meningitis on Monday, the fourth case linked to the university in two months, The Daily Princetonian reported. The New Jersey State Department of Health officially designated the four cases as an outbreak. Princeton notified students of the recent hospitalization through campus email and text message alerts on Monday. The student developed symptoms while traveling home, Princeton spokesman Martin Mbunga said. Princeton is not planning to alter its response to the outbreak and will continue to post information about meningitis in bathrooms and dining halls. Visitors at next week's reunions events will receive hygiene information about the disease. While Princeton students are required to be vaccinated for meningitis, the mandatory inoculation does not protect against the strain of meningitis contracted by the students. The three previous cases have all made full recoveries.
