Princeton University has increased undergraduate costs by 2.9 percent for next year, according to Bloomberg. The increase will raise the total amount students must pay to $47,020 a year, including tuition, fees and room and board. Princeton's endowment, like Dartmouth's, has decreased and "may be down as much as 25 percent" by next July, Princeton President Shirley Tilghman said, according to Bloomberg. In addition to the increase in costs, the school increased scholarships by 13 percent, to $104 million. Cornell University recently announced a cost increase of 4 percent for its endowed schools and 7.2 percent for all others, while the majority of the Ivy League has yet to announce its cost increases for next year, Bloomberg reported.

Kendra Field, the College's 2008-2009 Charles Eastman Fellow in Native American studies, presented her dissertation, "Intruder of Color: Race, Nation and Thomas Jefferson Brown's Life in Indian Territory," to about 25 attendees in Carson Hall Wednesday evening. Fields, a doctoral candidate at New York University, discussed the life of Thomas Jefferson Brown, a "mixed-race" man who migrated from Arkansas to the Indian Territory in 1870. Brown, who was born to an Irish woman and a black man, was married twice -- both times to members of Native American nations with African heritage. The talk explored several of the issues surrounding Native Americans in Brown's time, including the relationship between settlers and Native Americans in the territory and land allocation as a result of the Dawes Act. The presentation was part of the annual First Nations Week, presented by Native Americans at Dartmouth.
A $2.1 million lawsuit over the 1999 collapse of a bonfire at Texas A&M University that killed 12 students and injured 27 others was settled Tuesday, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. The university will pay $500,000 to the families of bonfire victims who filed the suit in 2003, and the remainder will be covered by the insurance policies of two prosecuted campus administrators, according to The Chronicle. An investigative committee determined in 2000 that the accident resulted from poor construction and administrative failure to address the hazardous building methods."While the university has actively contested the claim that the university employees were legally responsible for the deaths and injuries that occurred as a result of the bonfire collapse, the university deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries that occurred on its campus," university officials said in a written statement on Tuesday.

Four animal-rights activists staged a protest Tuesday against a Dartmouth professor's use of monkeys in his brain research, according to the Valley News. Yale Cohen, an associate professor in the department of psychological and brain sciences, issued a statement to the Valley News via a Dartmouth spokesman saying that animals used in his work "are under constant veterinary care to preserve and foster their health and well-being, and there is also constant veterinary supervision of my work." Cohen said his research could yield results useful to the treatment of autism, schizophrenia and Asperger's syndrome, according to the Valley News. The protesters stood on the southwest corner of the green, near the Hanover Inn. While a small number of passers-by did stop to take literature from the activists' folding table, most did not interact with the group, according to the article. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Dartmouth used more than 900 animals for research in 2007, including 16 primates.
