It seems like every few days, a fire alarm goes off somewhere on the Brandeis campus. Everyone leaves their rooms: the first-years rush out with an urgency that makes the firefighters proud, the seniors take their time. Perhaps this is your first time seeing all of your neighbors in the same place, or perhaps you live in Skyline Residence Hall and this is your third alarm of the week. It’s an inconvenience, to be sure, but the event of standing outside, partially dressed, with your neighbors all complaining in unison is perhaps one of the greatest experiences that living in a dorm has to offer.

As of August 2025, Stanford University’s student newspaper, The Stanford Daily, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its campaign of censorship and retaliation against student journalists, particularly noncitizens, who share their truth. In Stanford Daily Publishing Corp. et al. v. Rubio et al. the plaintiff accused Secretary Marco Rubio and the administration of abusing two provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act to censor lawfully-present noncitizens in the United States. Represented by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, the Daily’s case underscores a broader, more disturbing reality: for student journalists, the cost of free expression may now include surveillance, detention and deportation.

This article addresses the question: How should caregivers ethically respond when a person with dementia expresses present preferences that conflict with their past values? In this article, I argue the claim that when caring for people with dementia, one should balance considerations from the past with more weight than considerations from the present. This view draws from the works of Ronald Dworkin and Agnieszka Jaworska. I side more with Dworkin. I claim that even if there is a possibility that people with dementia can form new values, the ability to have an integrated view of one’s life as a whole gives past values more weight than present. My argument for ethically caring for people with dementia follows three guidelines: uphold advance directives, maintain past valued commitments, and allow compromise when past values conflict with current comfort.

At what point does an influencer become more than just an influencer? The word itself suggests persuasion through visibility — someone who can guide taste, spark conversations or capture attention. But in the political arena, “influencer” can take on a different weight. A political influencer is not simply shaping trends but helping frame how people see power, identity and society itself.

For several generations when the name Hannah Arendt is broached, academics and journalists sing hosannas for two reasons: her expertise concerning totalitarianism and her creation of the curious phrase “ the banality of evil”. In fact recent analysis makes clear that she has clay feet on both points.

Welcome back, Brandesians, to the second edition of The Opinion. In the previous edition, I discussed the intensity of University clubs — with many clubs mirroring today’s politics and stressors, which many students prefer to avoid. I argued that clubs should be taken less seriously not only for the betterment of students’ mental health, but also to improve campus culture as a whole. Today’s opinion will tackle a topic that I have heard discussed in the library numerous times.

During Brandeis’ 2025 Fall Involvement Fair, which showcased 201 varied clubs and organizations to the student body, one organization found itself facing major intervention from other students and the Department of Student Engagement. The Brandeis Jewish Bund, an anti-Zionist, anti-imperialist group, has been operating on campus for the past year, hosting vigils, sit-ins, protests and Jewish culture events. As I was walking around the Involvement Fair, I witnessed Bund members “tabling” on a blanket near the Shapiro Campus Center, facing verbal aggression and intimidation from students holding “Brandeis Students Support Israel” signs. Five anonymous students gave statements of what they witnessed happening between the Bund and other students at the fair.

I’ve recently set about collecting data that might give me a peek into the general personality of Brandeis students. For this study, I used the “Big Five personality traits” framework because it’s one of the most frequently used models of measuring personality. It observes all personalities as having varying levels of the same five traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. These traits are defined by Mark Dziak in his article, “Big Five personality traits.” Openness is defined as “a person’s willingness to engage with novel ideas and experiences.” Extraversion is “marked by sociability and assertiveness.” Conscientiousness is one’s tendency to be “organized and goal-oriented.” Agreeableness is one’s tendency to be “kind and empathetic” towards others. Finally, neuroticism is “associated with emotional instability and anxiety.”

To the Editor:

Let us call a spade a spade. The Jewish Bund is a Pro-Palestine group first and a Jewish group second. They have held far more Pro-Palestine events than they have Jewish ones, and at their events there are always more keffiyehs than kippahs. There is nothing wrong with this, nor is this statement meant as criticism, it is simply a fact. However, it is also the case that they are not interested in any form of dialogue in good faith, else they would not have protested the Hillel Israel fest. Celebration of Israeli culture is in no way an endorsement of Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank. In fact the event had a memorial explicitly for civilians tragically killed in Gaza. The Bund may hold up their name and their Jewish identities as a paper shield, but there is a word for the belief that the only good Jew is an anti-Zionist Jew, and the rest are culpable for genocide: antisemitism.
