"I'm not going to comment on that," Director of Residential Life Kim Russell says regarding Fordham Daily's latest article. — Fordham Daily (@FordhamDaily) April 29, 2015 Late one night — as many on campus traveled in packs to nearby bars, reveling in carefree abandon and the fleeting pleasures of alcohol — a first-year resident assistant at Rose Hill was […]

Phil Florio, S.J., a popular campus figure and beloved administrator, said Friday that he has been ordered to leave Fordham in June after spending five years at Rose Hill. “I did not seek this out,” he told The Fordham Ram. “This was a summons that was given to me.” Florio, assistant vice president of Mission […]
A man who was not authorized to be on campus evaded Public Safety checkpoints at Rose Hill late Tuesday night, walking into Queen’s Court, a freshman dorm, and Hughes Hall before finally being apprehended by school officials, sources said.

Improved? Yeah, right! Despite desperate pleas from administrators for good reviews, Fordham was slotted at No. 7 on The Princeton Review’s 2015 ranking for colleges with the worst food. Fordham has been trapped on the list since 2012 — when it ranked No. 1. Following significant developments made to the food service program in 2013, Fordham was bumped to the No. […]
The pro-life and pro-choice groups are battling it out. SAGES, a rogue student coalition that started at Rose Hill last semester to fight for sex and gender equality on campus, says it will protest Respect for Life‘s annual “Memorial of the Innocents” demonstration. The demonstration — which consists of 2,900 small white flags posted on the […]
Daniel Stroie, a sophomore, defeated sitting student government rep Thomas Roemer by nine votes to become USG’s next Vice President of Finance, sources said Friday night.

Fordham Daily endorsed Strazzeri earlier this week. […]
Fordham is doubling down on its defense of the 2012 honorary degree it awarded to CIA Director John Brennan, FCRH ’77, in spite of heavy criticism from students and faculty who say the honor should be rescinded.

Following years of fierce student advocacy and stalled developments blamed on budgetary constraints, school officials said Collins Hall — the home to Rose Hill’s theater groups and Philosophy Department, and one of the few spaces on campus inaccessible to those who are handicapped — will finally be getting an elevator.

A two-alarm fire burned through the roof of 570 East Fordham Road early Wednesday morning, wreaking havoc on Pete’s Cafe — a popular diner among Rose Hill students and alumni — and several apartments above.

School officials said more than 250 alumni, students, family members and friends donned sashes and marched behind the Fordham banner during this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan.

As Fordham families struggle to pay the yearly $45,000+ tuition bill, school officials announced this year’s “Under the Tent” dance at Lincoln Center has been cancelled — due to lack of funding! Dr. Dorothy Wenzel, director of OSL&CD at Lincoln Center, broke the news. “The only way we could afford this event was to have the tent […]
After being coaxed by optimistic officials within Fordham’s Alumni Relations office, four juniors spent weeks this semester tirelessly doing research and coordinating a massive canvassing effort on campus as they planned to help administrators submit Fordham’s name as the possible host of a 2016 presidential debate.

Must have been a rough week. One dog-tired Lincoln Center student turned on the shower in his McMahon apartment Friday night — and then fell asleep, leaving the water running all night, officials said. The water flooded part of the eighth floor hallway, where the apartment was located, and spread all the way down to the lobby […]
The student who was beat up in an off-campus dorm last week was interacting with local drug dealers at the time of the attack, administration sources told Fordham Daily. “This person appears to have opened themselves and the community to some serious risk,” one source said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Hot on a five-year losing streak, Columbia wants to bail on the annual Liberty Cup football game against Fordham — because it’s bad for their record.

Al Jazeera America published a damning report last week that revealed the heartbreaking story of Hailey, a Rose Hill freshman who was allegedly raped on campus — and then was denied the support of administrators.

Malia Obama skipped right over Fordham’s Manhattan campus as she toured New York City colleges on Friday with the First Lady.

The two attracted quite a crowd as they took a midday […]
Clean up! Those long nights at Mugz’s may be costing you a job.

McShane, S.J., president of the university, in one of his mahogany dining rooms on Feb. 24, sources tell Fordham Daily. Nevin Kulangara, USG president at Rose Hill, said the dinner — which happens once a year […]
Their attackers walk free. Fordham administrators investigated and sought to prosecute only three of the seven student-against-student sexual offense cases that were reported at Rose Hill in 2013, according to school data obtained by Fordham Daily. The complainants in the remaining four cases requested that Fordham not punish their attackers and “declined a Title IX student conduct process,” according to Christopher […]
A flurry of excitement and optimism ushered in Nevin Kulangara and the current USG administration last spring. Student government at Fordham was going to hit the refresh button on its soured image by flexing some muscle and opening otherwise-closed doors on behalf of the student body. (Their job, basically.) USG was going to reclaim its role as a […]

Class of 2018, you’re almost there! In a matter of days, you’ll be loading up cars and stuffing bulky bags through airport security, ready to embark on an adventure that everyone says will change your life. They’re right, it will — but only if you let it.
This is it: Fordham Daily’s last post! Breathe a sigh of relief, shed a tear — I’ll be doing both. I’ll always remember what my dad, a proud Fordham grad with a philosophy degree, told me just before we parted ways in front of Queen’s Court — the building he had inhabited some 30 years earlier — on a […]
Better bring an umbrella! A variety of weather reports are predicting rain for Saturday morning and afternoon — just in time for Fordham’s outdoor graduation.

E. John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana, is national […]
Outdoor theater is hard, especially on Keating steps. Planes constantly fly overhead, and conversations from Eddies float through the wind. All of which makes the Theatrical Outreach Program (TOP) alfresco production of Macbeth even more impressive. The cast and creative team is strong as always, but the outdoor setting gives an extra, palpable element to the play. […]

As of this week, only 17% of students at Rose Hill had evaluated their spring courses and professors in a series of school-issued surveys, administrators said.
