Mush! Paws for a Cause 5k raises over $1000 for local shelter

On an unseasonably pleasant and sunny autumn Saturday morning, dog owners across Pullman laced up their running shoes, donned their puffer jackets and prepared their pups for the Paws for a Cause 5k. Organized by a team of fourth-year Sports Management students for their capstone class, all proceeds of the event were donated to the Whitman County Humane Society. Carsyn LeBlanc, fourth-year sports management student was one of the event organizers. When tasked with organizing this event, LeBlanc said her group’s choice of charitable organization was simple. “We had to put on an event benefiting a philanthropic organization of our choice. One of our group members came up with the idea of doing a Paws for a Cause,” LeBlanc said. “We thought that was a really good idea, who better to benefit than the Whitman County Society?” Rory Minty, fourth-year sports management major, was the group’s finance manager.

Workday (WDAY) asks judge to block AI hiring bias class action and drop 15,000-plus age bias plaintiffs

Key points Workday asked a judge to deny class status to potentially millions of job applicants Workday also wants the age bias group of 15,000-plus applicants in the case thrown out Workday says its customers, not its AI tools, made the hiring decisions Workday (WDAY) asked a federal judge on Nov. 10 to block job applicants from suing the company as a group over its AI screening software, Reuters reported. The applicants allege the software discriminated against them by race, sex, age, and disability. Workday made the request in two filings in San Francisco federal court. One opposes the applicants' bid for class certification. The other asks the judge to decertify a group of more than 15,000 people who joined the case to claim age discrimination. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin is set to hear both on March 9, 2027. The case, Mobley v. Workday, is the first lawsuit to broadly target the AI screening software that large employers now commonly use, according to Reuters.

The other blue wave: diving into the 5Cs’ blue-haired population

This semester, I noticed that blue-haired students kept spawning. Intrigued, I approached nine of these students to find out how this trend came out of the blue. Though there were shared sentiments among students — being blue helped them stand out, pushed back against stereotypes or brought them closer to themselves and others — everyone had a different story to share. My first exposure to a blue-haired person at the Claremont Colleges was my first-year fall, when Phoebe Fogel SC ’28 and I took “Introductory Ancient Greek.” Fogel, a Classics and English major from Massachusetts, dyed her hair blue the summer before her senior year of high school. Her explanation: “I just think it looked cool.” I soon found out that many of my blue-haired subjects are new to the 5Cs, including Miriam Allen SC ’30 and Walker Lewis PO ’30. Allen and Lewis, who both hail from Berkeley, California, felt that changing their hair solidified their sense of selves in moments of instability.
