Ted Cruz Was the College Debate Prick's College Debate Prick
Adam Weinstein · 04/22/15 11:18AMImagine a drama kid—without good looks, singing or dancing ability, who wants to be president, is pretty sure your opinions suck, and thinks you’re an idiot. You just imagined a college parliamentary debater. And who do college parliamentary debaters think are irritating, pitiful jagoffs? In the 1990s, it was Ted Cruz.

Andy Cush · 04/07/15 12:53PMWho among us is truly innocent? Who among us hasn't pasted a link into an email's compose field, only to realize that it doesn't refer to the really interesting article we'd intended to send, but to an extremely graphic Pornhub video entitled "SHE LOVES HER ANAL BEADS?" Last week, Lisa McElroy, a professor at Drexel University's law school, made a mistake that any of us could have made—a mistake for which she's now being punished.

Hudson Hongo · 04/04/15 03:30PMDon't Pay for Drugs With Venmo You Big Dumbass
Sam Biddle · 04/03/15 02:55PMCapital New York reports that "Columbia University students are bugging out" after their favorite, smartphone-compatible drug dealer was busted by the cops. You'd think a bunch of Ivy Leaguers wouldn't need to be reminded, but paying for drugs with an app that logs the exact details of a transaction is a bad idea.

Undergraduate tuition, room, and board is currently estimated at $65,000 per year. What if a student wants to attend, but doesn't have the money? Who will pay? I don't know—the teachers, maybe?
Why Am I Always Defending My HBCU Education to Other Black People?
Julian Kimble · 03/27/15 10:30AMI was destined to attend a historically black college or university (HBCU) once my parents met at Delaware State decades ago. Fate resulted in a childhood characterized by religious viewings of A Different World. Aside from sending me on an early quest for my real-life Denise Huxtable, the Cosby Show spinoff helped frame the black college experience that my parents and their friends had long told me about. This made the decision to attend an HBCU simple, especially after dealing with the "too black, not black enough" paradox of growing up in an all-black neighborhood, attending a predominantly white high school, and not fitting perfectly into either environment.
Report: Dartmouth Frat Suspended Over Frat Brother’s Infected Ass
J.K. Trotter · 03/24/15 05:30PMDartmouth College, an Ivy League school famous for its bizarrely powerful Greek system, is having a pretty tough year. Today it gets even worse. Dartmouth has confirmed to Gawker that it extended the suspension of one of its most notorious fraternities, Alpha Delta, over allegations of branding—that is, pressing a piece of hot metal into a fraternity pledge’s skin. If that sounds unpleasant, you might want to prepare yourself for the rumored details of what exactly transpired.

Sam Biddle · 02/17/15 12:10PMCarnegie Mellon University is one of the country's preeminent geek schools; think Stanford, without all the nonsense preening, bullshit self-aggrandizement, lustful VCs and palm trees. This year, more than 1,200 students applied for its M.A. program in computer science; yesterday an untold number of them received a computerized fuck-you in return.
