...with this process by doing something that’s both remarkably easy and enormously helpful: posting the syllabi of spring semester courses online during reading period. Students can shop only so many courses during shopping period, and the rapid pace and short duration of this week are not ideal for thoughtful consideration of academic options.

Half a century after the Southeast Asian nation broke free from British rule and formed a multiethnic state, national unity is being cleaved by race politics. The divisive mood was on display at the November party conference of Malaysia's biggest political party, the Malay-dominated UMNO, during which one delegate spoke of his willingness to ?bathe in blood? to defend the Malay ethnicity. Another held aloft a keris ceremonial dagger. The targets of this...
