BAGHDAD (AP) — A U.S Navy SEAL was killed Tuesday by fire from the Islamic State group outside the IS-held city of Mosul, and Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged it as a "combat death" as the U.S. expands its role in the northern part of Iraq.
The SEAL, who has not been further identified, is the third U.S. serviceman to die while fighting in Iraq since the U.S.-led coalition launched its campaign against the Islamic State in the summer of 2014. In October, a special operations soldier was killed in a raid on an IS prison in northern Iraq. In March, an American Marine was killed in an IS attack at a newly established U.S. base outside Mosul.
CAMBRIDGE – Harvard College's Final Clubs, the exclusive social institutions unaffiliated with the Ivy League university but targeted by administrators over sexual assault data, are fighting back.
In March, a school task force on campus assault released a report that ripped the undergraduate school's six all-male clubs, blaming them for sexual assault on campus and asserting that "female Harvard College students participating in Final Club activities are more likely to be sexually assaulted than participants in any other of the student organizations we polled." The report relied heavily on an anonymous survey conducted for the school by Association of American Universities and released last fall. The AAU survey claimed that 1-in-5 Harvard women were sexually assaulted in some way during their four years on campus. While the report says the survey indicates "that the vast majority of sexual assaults in the College occur in the Houses and freshman dormitories," the task force pinned the Final Clubs as a guilty party.
