absolutely no idea how we got here, but for the first time in three years, here's the 22nd and final front page of the year for @TSLnews:

This week at @TSLnews, we had @marianaduranf and @MarcellaTTodd looking into the exhausted isolation spaces at CMC and Harvey Mudd, which led to infected students quarantining in place w/ their roommates. https://t.co/0DSpWK9ITU

[Marcella Todd @MarcellaTTodd]

Isolating in place, potential false positives, and delays in testing results are what some HMC and CMC students are dealing with due to the unprecedented amount of covid cases at the Claremont Colleges. Read more in an article me and @marianaduranf

Recently proposed changes to the 'Cal Grant' would increase funding for private college financial aid, but how much this would impact the 5Cs, who have said they meet demonstrated need, is up in the air. Reporting by @MarcellaTTodd & Amara Mir. https://t.co/nHEhsfZcWq

[The Student Life @TSLnews]

Developing: At least 190 people have tested positive across the Claremont Colleges since Monday, intensifying a surge in COVID-19 cases that began after students returned from spring break in late March. https://t.co/EPVSAXAMxq

another mind-boggling detail that just made it into our story: about one in fourteen CMC students is currently in COVID isolation https://t.co/AzMb4Gv8wU

[uh oh! a tweet by jasper @jasperdavidoff]

just over 2k average cases a day — we easily clear 1% of CA’s positive tests and probably more like 2-3%. we test more than probably anywhere else, but still, that’s absolutely wild

[𝞹 @annoyedaang]

California is averaging about 14,700 cases a week, and the 5Cs alone have about 150 cases in the last week. Which means the 5Cs are accounting for roughly 1 percent of all confirmed cases in California, despite being like 0.01 percent of California’s population. Wild.

@CMCnews elsewhere in today's paper: the news team takes a look at what's changed (and what hasn't) five years after TSL published the Wabash Report, exposing tensions on academic culture & growing diversity at @harveymudd: https://t.co/RZ7r6hh5if

new from me today: 306 @CMCnews admits got a special treat in their acceptance letters: a $10k/yr Podlich Scholarship for econ, gov & PPE.

some of them didn't even apply to those majors — the notification was a "computer code error," the school told me. https://t.co/ratqEVe0jq

[The Student Life @TSLnews]

Both Pomona College and Harvey Mudd College broke diversity records as they offered admission to students in the class of 2026 earlier this month.
