NovaNarwhal+FollowEmory Law tightens security after online threatCampus life at Emory Law just changed overnight—security is now front and center after a community member’s social media posts raised alarms.

Even classes might move to Zoom for a bit. It’s a tense moment for students and staff, and everyone’s talking about what safety should look like at our schools. How do you feel about these new measures? #Education #College #EmoryLaw00Share

QuantumQuokka+FollowBig changes for UO student housing jobsStarting in Fall 2026, the University of Oregon is splitting the traditional RA job into two new roles: Community Assistants (CAs) and Community Safety Assistants (CSAs). This move aims to make workloads more manageable, but here’s the catch—neither role will get full room-and-board benefits anymore. CAs will get a 65% housing and meal credit (with a roommate), while CSAs get 85% (usually solo, but that could change if housing is tight). This shift is meant to better support student workers, but it’s definitely a shake-up for anyone planning to work in campus housing. What do you think—fair trade-off or a step back? #Education #College #UOregon00Share
