Senior outside hitter Campbell Paris achieved her career best in kills and the first 20-kill showing of any Northwestern player this season, yet it still wasn’t enough to overcome Green Bay on Sunday. The Wildcats (5-4, 0-0 Big Ten) couldn’t hold on after a blowout first-set victory, falling to the Phoenix (5-4, 0-0 Horizon League)...

Northwestern University moved up dramatically in a new college free speech ranking.
But placing 90th out of 261 schools in a survey of students conducted by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression — up from 120th last year — still gave the school an overall grade of D.
At the beginning of this school year, I shared a simple idea: the best way to predict the future is to create it. Serving various school systems as a superintendent over nearly four decades, I have come to believe deeply in this idea. I believe this is one of those moments for District 65.
On Monday evening, we shared with the School Board and our community a proposed path toward a more financially sustainable future for our district. It is a path that will require difficult decisions, including approximately $20 million in FY28 reductions and the closure of two additional schools, as we better align our staffing, programs, operations, and facilities with the students we serve and the revenues available to support them.
Interim District 65 Superintendent Eric Witherspoon says he will propose a comprehensive series of budget reductions “which will affect every single aspect of our school district.”
Witherspoon said those cuts will mean the closing of two more schools, as part of slicing the district’s annual spending by about 10% in Fiscal Year 2028 (July ’27 – June ’28), or roughly $20 million.
Just weeks away from kickoff at Ryan Field, the Evanston City Council preliminarily agreed Monday night to change the liquor license for the new stadium to stop alcohol sales at the end of the 3rd quarter during football games and 30 minutes before the end of other events.
The push to change the law came after questions were raised last month about the N-3 liquor license, created specifically for Ryan Field, which set a 30-minute deadline for all events.
Former 7th Ward Ald. Eleanor Revelle and former ETHS principal and assistant superintendent Denise R. Martin will soon have honorary street signs in Evanston, after the Evanston City Council approved both applications Monday night.
Revelle, who served on the Evanston City Council between 2015 and 2025, will be honored on Sheridan Road, between Lakeside Court and Euclid Park Place.
