“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness,” architect and designer Frank Gehry said. It’s no wonder then that some of the most innovative designs are implemented on college campuses, where students learn from the past and grow from new perspectives. As students from all over reconvene for the school year, these campuses offer different points of view, not only through their curricula, but through their unconventional building styles. From a student center shaped like dim sum steamer baskets in Singapore, to a 36-story skyscraper in Russia, to a shipping center imitation in the Netherlands, here are college buildings around the world that present different angles.

An activist holds up a sign thanking President Joe Biden for providing some student debt relief, during a rally in front of the White House on August 25. A day earlier, Biden announced that the Department of Education will cancel up to $20,000 in outstanding educational debt for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 for other borrowers with federal loans, provided they make less than $125,000 a year or their total household income is under $250,000. The move fulfills one of Biden’s campaign promises and serves as his administration’s attempt to rein in the country’s $1.6 billion federal student loan problem. About one in five Americans have student loans, with 53 percent of borrowers owing less than $20,000.…

Ahead of the season premiere, Harmon and Roiland, along with producer Scott Marder and voice actors Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell and Spencer Grammer, spoke to Newsweek about the loss they suffered during the last season, how Harmon is keeping cool to avoid behind-the-scenes blowups and why the Rick and Morty…

PeriscopeNEWS, OPINION + ANALYSISJUSTICE THIS USED TO BE A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT for law students: Is it possible to seat an impartial jury to pass judgment on a former president of the United States? The question is becoming less and less theoretical these days. From the FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida that yielded troves of possibly mishandled classified material to the intensifying scrutiny into allegations of election fraud in Georgia and financial misdealings in New York, it’s no longer unthinkable that in some court, some day, former President Trump could face a criminal charge. That would present a singular challenge, given that the U.S. Constitution guarantees every defendant the right to be tried by a jury of their peers. “It would be the ultimate stress test for the…
