College baseball teams are in the final stretch of the regular season, with the NCAA Tournament just around the corner. The top spot in most rankings still belongs to UCLA, who’s not only dominating the field but also preparing to kick off the Big Ten Baseball Tournament this weekend. The Bruins fac
Colleges keep finding sneaky ways to keep race-based admission policies alive even after the Supreme Court said they were illegal. The twist? Medical schools now tie funding to reaching certain diversity targets – but studies show those targets don’t actually help patients. Schools push teachers to
Teams that play video‑game sounds when a penalty ends and fans who sing the same pop hit at every game can feel like a joke to outsiders. In hockey, for example, the Penguins and Sabres have been heard blasting a “1‑up” chime from Super Mario whenever a player comes out of the box. The idea is to
Boston is set to experience a typical spring climate this week, with temperatures hovering just below average and intermittent showers. Monday starts off under a blanket of clouds that gradually lifts by mid‑morning, allowing the day to warm into the mid‑60s while nighttime lows dip to the mid‑40s.
Boston has become a surprising hub for women taking charge of artificial intelligence.

Boston is stuck in a wet spell this week, with scattered showers keeping things damp but not exactly solving the drought. The city won’t get much relief today, but every little drop counts. Light rain might hang around into tonight, yet skies should clear by Friday morning. Temperatures today will h
Boston wakes up to bright skies today, with most areas enjoying sunshine and temperatures climbing into the mid-60s inland. Coastal spots stay cooler, stuck in the low 50s thanks to a steady ocean breeze. That mild weather won’t last long, though. Clouds are already building up, and by tomorrow, sho
Colleges today spend a lot of time talking about fairness and social change. For years, many schools pushed programs to hire more diverse teachers and admit more students from different backgrounds. Some even created entire departments focused on social issues. A recent study at one well-known unive
College students spend most of their week in lecture halls, yet they rarely listen. Their eyes drift to screens where they check messages or play quick games while the professor talks. Only when a new slide pops up do they try to write something down, hoping it will help later. Professors o
