I first noticed the boom in dark campus thrillers when I was already writing my own. My third novel Bad Habits is set in a competitive graduate program and has many of the key Dark Academia elements: a fish-out-of-water protagonist from a hardscrabble background; a charismatic professor who inspires cultish devotion in her students; a gothic campus with lots of gargoyles; and, of course, as much sex and drinking as studying. (It is, after all, college.) Like many of its contemporaries, it checks the boxes.

I have some theories about why that is. For one thing, the cloistered campus life romanticized by Dark Academia belongs to a vanishing era. With the costs of higher education skyrocketing, the Ivies more competitive and exclusive than ever, and academic departments collapsing under bloated administration and the ever-shrinking tenure track, the sheltered college experience from the brochures looks more and more like an unattainable fantasy. Moreover, this is a largely a Trump-era trend, starting around 2014 but only kicking into high gear in 2017, and accelerating along with the atrocities of the Trump presidency. As of 2021, it shows no sign of slowing.

In her first year at an east Anglian university, Jess Walker, her wealthy roommate, and an unsettlingly handsome post-doc form an uneasy love triangle that gets even more complicated when Jess falls under the sway of a charismatic professor named Lorna. The crime plot in this lushly written debut is ultimately overtaken by relationship drama, but the constant nods to Agatha Christie will delight mystery fans as well as anyone with an interest in the power of stories and storytelling.

A crime novel, an immigration story, and even a bit of a family saga, White Ivy gets at the heart of the American fascination with prep schools and Ivy League colleges: by emulating British customs and fetishizing white Anglo-Protestant history, they produce a caricature of whiteness for anyone who can afford the price tag. In a tale that recalls classic stories of American strivers by Edith Wharton and Theodore Dreiser, Yang shows this caricature as hollow at best, malevolent and corrupting at worst. More than a thriller, White Ivy is an American tragedy.

Everyone has their favorite spots on Drexel's campus! Whether it is an outdoor green space to gather or the best place to get a sweet treat, you will find your favorite parts of campus and the University City neighborhood and learn to love them. I asked my colleagues on the admissions team where the coolest places are to hang out around Drexel's campus and in University City. Here is what they had to say!

Amphitheater
Originally, the amphitheater was a wooden structure built in 1924 for summer school events. In 1935, the structure was expanded and renovated with concrete to seat 1,500 people using both Federal Emergency Relief Administration funding and class gifts.

Aggie Chocolate Factory
Some of the sweetest research opportunities are available to USU food science majors who work at the Aggie Chocolate Factory, which opened in 2018 and specializes in manufacturing single-origin chocolate. It hosts monthly tastings.

The farm expanded from the original six acres to more than 135 acres today featuring fruit and vegetable trials, ornamentals, and grasses, as well as 34 acres of cereal grains for testing strains of drought-resistant wheat and barley. Since its inception, historical records such as soil and air temperatures, precipitation, and irrigation techniques have been meticulously maintained by researchers and serve as a vital resource for scientists today.

Engineering Laboratory Building
Did you know USU hosts a sailing regatta? Well, a miniature one. First-year engineering students design and build tiny radio-controlled sailboats and race them in a shallow, 800-square-foot indoor pool as a test of their design and problem-solving skills.

USU Observatory
In 2009, USU installed a 20-inch reflecting telescope atop the SER building that produces crisp images of the cosmos and enables space research such as searching for asteroids. The observatory is open to the public for free tours of the night sky.

Merrill-Cazier Library
The Merrill-Cazier Library houses about 2 million books and journals and uses the Borrowers Automated Retrieval Network (BARN), a mechanized system of cranes installed in 2005 to retrieve many of them. BARN can carry up to 1,000 lbs. and travels at a speed of 65 feet per minute and visitors can view it in action from the third floor.

Student Nutrition Access Pantry (SNAC)
Food insecurity is a problem for college students nationwide. At USU, the SNAC pantry is a volunteer-run effort that fills shelves with gleaned produce, unsold bread, and extra meals from local restaurants as well as donated foods from across the valley.

It was first hauled onto the USU Eastern campus (then Carbon College) by a group of first-year students in 1939 and painted green with a number 41, marking the year of their graduation. The right to paint Gibby was solved through mud fights.

There are so many small areas and places not many know about that a lot of people (including myself) love. There is only so much time for the campus tour and many places must be left out, so here are some neat places to see on campus OUTSIDE the tour!

First things first, UW is great at implementing technology into learning. One of the biggest examples is at Studio Coe where students can enter Virtual Reality Work Stations among other amenities (like an audio recording/podcast space and access to Mac computers with the full Adobe suite). These workstations meld education and fun together seamlessly. Students can come in and interact with virtual reality on their own schedule as well as complete other multimedia projects. Studio Coe is one of the premier places on campus for everything creative and entertainment.


For students who have a creative flair for movies, the One Button Studio has you covered. The One Button Studio allows you to create video projects, practice thesis and dissertation defenses and just have a ton of fun with green screens. Coe Library has so many fun and helpful resources, make sure this one does not slip your mind.

Lastly in the vein of Studio Coe, is the coolest of cool: Coe Student Innovation Center (CSIC). This innovative space is a 2500 square-foot area that allows students access to state-of-the-art technology and fun. You can even 3D print something! Beyond that, there are spaces for laser engraving, sewing and textiles, vinyl cutting and crafting amongst other neat things. Any student can find something they are passionate about at CSIC.


Beyond the Geological Museum, feel free to come to any of the numerous museums on campus! Some great spots include the University of Wyoming Art Museum, the Anthropology Museum, and the ever-popular American Heritage Center.


Another must-see spot on UW campus is one that should most definitely be on your priority list. Williams Conservatory is a greenhouse on campus. Built in 1994, this space is free to students and members of the general public.

The Williams Conservatory houses hundreds of plants within 76 different plant families and more plants are added to the collection every year! If you are stressed from finals, need a break or just want to experience nature, this is definitely the place to go.

Sprinkled around the campus are time capsules. There are benches and light posts that are dedicated to classes from the early 1910s and beyond. There are also stories and memorials for students and teachers dating all the way back to the early 1900s. Even the oldest buildings from the 1880s are still open. Who knows, you might not care about these things, but once you start to put some of these items in perspective, it opens the door to so much history.


The University of Wyoming houses many in-person amenities that create a well-rounded education for students. Whether you want to explore the past, dive into the future or have a great time in the present, UW offers must-see spots everywhere you look.

Note: the next series of alerts will focus on issues discussed at SPJ's National Convention in Crystal City, Va.

Campus crime could be the best kept secret of university administrators.

Getting access to those reports is now the number one call for help to the Student Press Law Center, said Executive Director Mark Goodman.

In 1990, Congress made it a requirement for schools to report crime statistic--the first ever national standard.

But some schools began to channel crime reports through a secret campus disciplinary process and away from local law enforcement.

"There are still many criminal incidents occurring on campus the public never knows about. As a result, more people do become victims of crime," he said.

"We have had a tendency to vilify those who run these disciplinary proceedings. We're guilty, too, in not being fair in our coverage. Their secrecy breeds our mistrust," said Goodman.

Bill Kibler, immediate past president of the Association for Student Judicial Affairs, said anytime a crime occurs on campus it should be referred for prosecution.

"However, a college or university has the right and obligation to enforce its own standards. There's federal law that protects students, a statutory right to privacy. Disciplinary records are covered by that," Kibler said.

In a complaint of sexual assault, Kibler said colleges have the responsibility to respond immediately with a disciplinary hearing because the criminal justice system moves so slowly.

A student accused of sexual assault could be barred from campus through such an administrative proceeding quicker than the time it takes for a criminal trial, he said.

Kibler said a school's first responsibility should be to guarantee campus safety.

S. Daniel Carter, regional vice president for a victim rights group called Security on Campus, said many schools are under investigation for failing to report crime statistics accurately.

"Without a victim or a survivor coming forward, we would never know. We need a uniform standard," Carter said.

Carolyn Carlson testified before Congress on behalf of the Society of Professional Journalists lobbying in support of a measure to open campus crime logs this year.

Carlson, who founded the Campus Courts Task Force, said the society believes that all campus disciplinary proceedings should be open when tied to criminal activity.

Kibler said he supports the open campus crime logs legislation. But he doesn't feel disciplinary proceedings should be open.

"I'll never trust a system of justice that is secret," said Goodman. "What these (administrators) are asking us to do is trust them."

The Department of Education was also roundly criticized by some panelists for creating additional confusion instead of clarifying requirements of the law.

Kibler said campuses that don't comply are usually held accountable through lawsuits.

Carlson said student journalists aren't waiting on Congress to act. They are filing lawsuits for access.

A successful lawsuit was brought by The Red & Black, the student newspaper at the University of Georgia in Athens. Student journalists who investigated the proceedings said they discovered a two-tiered disciplinary process.

The paper found that discipline administered by peers was harsher than discipline administered by faculty members. After publication of the article, students began asking for faculty-only hearings.

The stories resulted in a change in the process, said Editor-Reporter Crystal J. Paulk. Hearings are now conducted by one faculty member and three student peers.

(The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation, the educational arm of SPJ, has helped fund the updated publication of "Covering Campus Crime: A Handbook for Journalists." Copies are available by writing the Student Press Law Center, 1101 Wilson Blvd., Suite 1910, Arlington, Va., 22209, or calling the organization at 703-807-1904.)(e-mail address: sp...@splc.org)
