The Trump Administration placed a 25% tariff on all items imported from Mexico and Canada that are not a part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement List, which includes tequila and other alcohol. While tequila producers look to shift their market outside the US, the tariffs could increase prices in local student bars and affect profits.

UT made unannounced changes to its free speech policies over the summer after pro-Palestine protests in April 2024 drew hundreds of demonstrators on campus and resulted in over 100 arrests. The University implemented a definition of antisemitism required by a Texas executive order, giving University officials more discretion to determine policy violations and leaving students hesitant to discuss their beliefs on campus and with peers.

UT researchers found evidence of a hydrothermal system located near the coast of Mexico, created by the same asteroid event that killed the dinosaurs, which lasted 700,000 years after the impact. Known as the Chicxulub crater and system, researchers from the April 8 international study collected evidence of rocks from the crater to see how marine life reacted to the event and gain more information on how life may have started on Earth.

The city of Austin is working on Project Connect, a decade-long project that would revolutionize The Drag, with a light rail spanning across Austin that connects UT students to popular locations like downtown and South Congress. While The Drag’s portion of the light rail isn’t set to open until 2033, its drastic change highlights how The Drag has evolved from horse-pulled carts to a future light rail.
