This week is our Education Issue, including: the centrality of activism to life at Howard, a NIMBY fight against a new AU dorm (featuring a demand that the new building’s windows not be able to open), and the fallout from a law school’s rankings plunge.

The design for this week’s cover, by Carey Jordan, was made out of actual hops and malts. It’s the 2014 Beer Issue.
