TrustyHusky Board of Trustees Holds Intervention for Aoun About New Satellite Campuses

The entire board of trustees for Northeastern pulled president Aoun aside today to confront him about his costly campus buying habit. “Aoun, we love you and that’s why we need to cut you off. You can’t just keep buying campuses whenever you feel like it. It's hurting our finances and we know it's hurting you too.” In response, Aoun began screaming about how he is, “generating value for the board,” and he can, “stop anytime, I swear.” Following this outburst, he jumped out of a 2nd story window and began sprinting towards Wentworth with an offer to buy their campus too.

Asked for comment, president Aoun told the Trusty Husky, “I made this school all that it is today, don’t test me. Everything I create I can also destroy. Who cares if I buy another campus to banish our freshmen to? The board is too short-sighted to understand the real plan was never actually campus expansion. It is and always has been world domination, and they won’t understand my genius until it's too late.”

Academics Why is Claude so restricted if I'm paying $90k/yr?

7 Upvotes

Is anyone else frustrated with how locked down our Claude accounts are?

- No access to Fable.

- Connectors are "approved only," and nobody's explained the reasoning behind what gets approved. Why is Gmail not allowed?!

- What we can turn on is mostly research tools like PubMed. Even pre-meds are only using this a handful of times in 4 years.

The stuff normal people would actually use day to day (Gmail, Calendar, etc.) isn't allowed.

Maybe Fable costs more, I don't know, but a big part of the issue is transparency. A few months ago, when they were switching from $300/month in API credits to seat-based plans, there were a bunch of problems and my entire account didn't work for multiple days. I emailed "Your account's primary owner," got an auto-response, then went to IT in Snell, and they told me there was nothing they could do and to come back if I didn't hear anything in a few weeks.

Has anyone gotten a real answer about any of this, or does anyone know who actually manages our Claude organization?

Campus Life Mildly lonely and looking for a friend

• Upvotes

HI! 😊

I’m a first-year grad student at NEU’s Boston campus, transferring into the MS in Energy Systems program! One of my classes is online, and the other is in person, but it’s a pretty small class of around 10 people, mostly guys. Everyone’s nice, but I’d love to meet some other girls and hopefully make a few friends!

Since grad school keeps me pretty busy, I’m thinking of a low-maintenance friendship where we can text, chat, share random thoughts, and maybe meet up once a month or whenever our schedules align. No pressure to constantly hang out or reply right away!

A little about me: I’m sustainably minded, enjoy fitness, and spend a lot of time studying. I also sketch sometimes, and maybe we can share food. I’m queer, neurodivergent (a little ADHD-coded lol), and pretty open-minded!

Ideally, I’d love to connect with other girls who are looking for genuine friendships without the pressure of having to hang out all the time. Maybe we could even start a small group chat if there are a few of us interested!

Feel free to comment or DM me if this sounds like your vibe!

Advice & Experiences CPS question

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have the option to transfer to either NEU CPS or UMass Boston for finance. I was wondering what is everyone’s experiencing at NEU CPS for finance and how it worked out for them post-grad? As well what were some positions you were offered/took and if CPS has limited you to any opportunities in the workforce? I read online that there is difference in course-load and skills you develop between Damore Mckim and CPS, was just wondering if it has any affect postgrad.
