The suicide of Bradley Ginsburg, a member of Cornell University's class of 2013, prompted Ginsberg's father to sue Cornell, several university administrators and the city of Ithaca, N.Y., The Cornell Daily Sun reported Friday. Although the bridge where the suicide occurred is owned by the city, the student's father, Howard Ginsburg, said the university could have done more to prevent his son's death. Ginsburg's death and similar incidents could have been prevented if the university had made mental health a larger priority and raised more awareness of the three student suicides that occurred in 2009, Howard Ginsburg said in the lawsuit he filed on Nov. 21. Since Ginsburg's death, Cornell has installed fences and 24-hour guards at the site of the bridge. The university expects that the case will be dismissed, a Cornell spokesperson said in an interview with the Ithaca Journal.

The University of Pennsylvania's Undergraduate Assembly is under investigation for allegations that the organization hazed its new members, according to The Daily Pennsylvanian. The assembly turned itself into Penn's Office of Student Conduct two weeks ago, in response to a guest column in The Daily Pennsylvanian written by assembly associate member Mo Shahin, a member of Penn's Class of 2012. The column accused the assembly of breaking hazing policies, quoting emails sent by executive board members including Undergraduate Assembly President Tyler Ernst admitting to initiation rituals such as heavy drinking. The column also called on members involved in these hazing incidents to step down from the assembly's alcohol policy review board, which is set to present its proposed changes to campus alcohol policy at the end of the month, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported.

Student Assembly members discussed a proposed amendment to change Student Body president and vice president election procedures from approval voting to preferential voting during Tuesday's General Assembly meeting. Student Body President Max Yoeli '12 outlined an amendment proposed by Will Hix '12 who failed to pass a similar amendment last year to elect the president and vice president by preferential voting, or ranking candidates in order of preference. The amendment also aims to remove all candidate eligibility restrictions other than one requiring candidates to be in residence near the College during the following Fall, Winter and Spring terms, Yoeli said. During the meeting, Assembly members debated whether the removal of eligibility restrictions based on disciplinary and academic history would underemphasize the importance of Student Assembly leaders' character. "You should have those requirements because you're assuring that someone with good character is getting that position," Patrick Campbell '15 said. Others argued that disciplinary history is private and has no place in the voting arena. Assembly members also disagreed on the role of the Elections Planning and Advisory Committee, which has been responsible for administering all elections and deciding election procedure in the past. While some stated that the Assembly should have control over its own procedures, others emphasized the importance of giving EPAC sovereignty. "EPAC's goal and function is to be removed from the politics of it all," Rohail Premjee '14 said. "All these decisions we're making should be left to EPAC." Student Assembly members will vote on the amendment at the Assembly's meeting next week.

As the cost of attending college continues to increase across the nation, Dartmouth was ranked the 13th most expensive college in the nation up from 42nd last year making it one of the most expensive schools in the Ivy League, second only to Columbia University, according to rankings released by Campus Grotto on Oct. 6. The recent "tuition explosion" reveals a recent trend in all higher education institutions, and is partially caused by the lack of an effective business model for traditional colleges to follow, Director of The Center for College Affordability and Productivity Richard Vedder said in a Monday lecture for students, faculty members and community members interested in how economics contributes to the changing education landscape.

Students hoping to pick up packages have encountered longer wait times at the Hinman Mail Center this term, as the mail center is facing difficulties sorting through an increased number of packages and sending emails to students notifying them that packages have arrived, according to Hinman Mail Center Postmaster Karen Hautaniemi. These obstacles have largely been caused by the relocation of some students' Hinman boxes due to ongoing construction at the Hanover Inn and the BlitzMail-to-Microsoft Outlook Services transition that muddled some of the mail center's current computer programs, Hautaniemi said.
