It's been a heck of a year in higher education. Yet no school is feeling the pressure as much as Harvard.

Awful news. Olena Hubanova and Yevhen Karmazin, Ukrainian journalists working for TV channel Freedom, were killed in a Russian Lancet drone attack in Kramatorsk, according to the city’s mayor and local media reports.

This makes three deaths of journalists in eastern Ukraine just this month.
