Over the past year, Northeastern has experienced two defining moments. The first was the April 2024 student encampment calling on Northeastern to divest from American defense contractors that supply weapons to Israel.

Yet, in both cases, they failed.
Clarifying our anonymity policies in an unprecedented time

Since President Donald Trump took office in January, The Huntington News has seen an increased number of sources ask for anonymity, refuse to speak to reporters out of fear and even request to unpublish pieces that expressed positions critical of the United States government. Given that The Huntington News is a campus newspaper at a university with the second-highest population of international students in the nation, many of our sources, writers and editors hail from other countries.

The Boston Marathon is a beloved part of Boston history, holding the title of the world’s oldest annual marathon since its inception in 1897. From only 18 local entrants in its first year, the marathon has grown to nearly 32,000 entrants in the 2025 race — and almost half of them identify as women.

Bradley French is a modern renaissance man.

April 13, 2025 In a recently published op-ed, a columnist makes the claim that “disagree[ing] with the Trump administration [will be enough for them to] come for your visa status.” I disagree.
