If you have any experiences relating to Greek life harm at NU and would be willing to talk about it, please let me know. @amittal27 and I are looking into sexual misconduct, hazing and discrimination in NU frats and sororities for @thedailynu

A huge thank you to the students, alumni and professors who took the time to speak with me about their experiences. Your stories and insights have impacted me both as a musician and a journalist and I'm grateful to be able to share them with others. (5/5)

THREAD: At Bienen, just seven of the 640 undergraduate and graduate students identify as Black. Students have also expressed frustration at the curriculum's lack of diversity — ranging from the pieces students perform to the concepts covered in class.

The problem stems from barriers to access, poor representation in music education and an absence of research about composers of color. Several Bienen students and alumni are working to change this and are calling for the school to do more. (4/5)
