...news was sobering University-wide. For the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the University’s largest school, which comprises about a third of the union’s membership, the news was particularly bleak—FAS relies on endowment funding for over half of its annual budget, third-most among the University’s 11 schools. “A bad day,” Jaeger calls the date when the payout decision was announced.

Cuban President Raúl Castro and his brother, former President Fidel Castro, insist they won't accept any conditions. "We do not wish to be part of" the OAS, Fidel wrote this month, calling its criticism of Cuba's human-rights record "pure garbage." What the OAS should decide in San Pedro Sula, he added, "is to expel the U.S. and start from scratch with a new organization that will defend the interests...
