Students hold candles at an interfaith prayer vigil Wednesday night in the Duquesne University Chapel for victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
Several Duquesne University faculty members disagree with recent controversial adminstrative decisions and want more say in the process, the Faculty Senate president said in an email last Wednesday to University employees.
Last month, Duquesne University announced that it plans to end a 15-year partnership with the local college preparatory school Vincentian Academy on June 30, 2010.
Few students find themselves working toward a master's degree at a school they did not choose, especially if that school is more than 5,000 miles away from home. But for Svetlana Doni, a fellow in Duquesne University's Graduate Center for Social and Public Policy, the move to Pittsburgh from her home in Moldova was a smooth one.
A recent national survey of 13,859 students at 125 higher education institutions found that one in 29 college students have some type of criminal record.
This week, Uncle PB brings you the good, the bad and the ugly. What was the bad? General theft. One victim lost two books to thievery, and another lost an iPod at the Palumbo Center. The ugly? Slapping. One confrontation resulted in students pushing and slapping unauthorized visitors who entered their room.
