William F. Tate IV shared his vision for Rutgers University as an institution driving opportunity for students, New Jersey and the world as he addressed an audience gathered at Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hall at Rutgers-Newark today for his inauguration ceremony.
The 22nd president said Rutgers is committed to investing in opportunity, foremost for its students. He announced The Edge Fund for scholarships to celebrate and support the next generation of thinkers and creators who achieve innovations in the arts, sports, science and technology.
“In an era defined by speed, spectacle and performative acts, we have a moment to demonstrate our commitment to opportunity. It exists in every ZIP code and income bracket in New Jersey. It is limited only by our collective focus and imagination,” Tate said. “When it comes to students, excellence can be found everywhere. Finding it — and letting it flourish — drives our state, our university, our communities forward.”
Many of our Native American tribes call this month the “hunger moon,” and for good reason. The early fall hunting is generally over, the late season hunts in the snow aren’t happening yet, and the fishing? Well … let’s just say the salmon are all spawned out and dead, the trout? (Well, who can really figure out a trout’s thought processes) and the burbot is delicious and isn’t too hard to catch, but they are one of Nature’s ugliest creatures, giving even the mole rat a run for his money.
But most of us go to the store in November and buy grub the way we do the rest of the year. The hunger moon shouldn’t affect us, really.
But it does.
Our daylight has pinched off to about zilch, It’s cold enough in the living room to hang meat, and the kids are bringing home report cards that look as though they’ve been put together by gnomes.

The political calculus could not be more straightforward, yet the Democratic leadership in the Senate seems determined to ignore it.
The American electorate is not confused; they see a Republican monopoly on power in Washington, and they are holding the GOP solely responsible for this manufactured crisis.
This isn’t mere speculation—it is the unequivocal verdict delivered by every major poll and, more importantly, by the recent electoral rebellions from coast to coast, where voters rejected Trumpism and its savage assault on health care, but spineless Senate Democrats may appear eager to snatch defeat from the jaws of a certain victory.
