Before D.C.-area colleges welcome back their undergraduates from summer vacation, let's give the schools a little test of our own. Campus Pride's LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index rates four-year colleges and universities around the country based on their "LGBT-Friendly policies, programs and practices." The index surveys schools on eight subject areas (click through for survey [...]
Last year, the Sexist launched Man Madness, a tournament that rated the manliness of 64 local workplaces based on the gender make-up of upper-management. How did a workplace prove manliness? Employ the most men in top jobs (and the fewest women higher-ups). It was, shall we say, a dubious honor.
Anyway, Georgetown University proved itself almost [...]
Fall From Glory: George Washington University's Corcoran Hall
Anonymous public sex ain't as public—or anonymous—as it used to be. In the past ten years, private Internet hook-ups have all but eliminated the need for old-fashioned public toe-tapping meet-ups.

Having recently written a story about the sex and repression at the Catholic University of America, I was interested to read Vox Populi's interview with D.C.'s most infamous Catholic sex writer, Julia Allison.

Today, we recap the thinky bracket in our Manliest Workplace in D.C. tournament (See the full 64-workplace bracket here).

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, this is [...]
The thinky portion of the Manliest Workplace in D.C. tournament continues today as Brookings challenges Georgetown for intellectual man dominance (See the full 64-workplace bracket here). So put on your thinking caps, four-eyes, and lets get to the competition!
BROOKINGS INSTITUTION: This D.C. think tank aims to "Strengthen American democracy, foster the economic and social welfare, [...]
* Juicy Campus has hit George Washington University. How do G.W. gossips compare to Georgetown's finest? So far, Juciy Campus' G.W. page seems to have a lot more nonsense on it. That's a good thing, writes Travis of G.W. student blog The Colonialist: "I spent the weekend surfing the site a lot, putting up things [...]
Great jokers or greatest jokers?: Georgetown University students Sean Baumann and Tom Hutton play with Juicy Campus' conventions.
Last week, Georgetown University student newspaper The Hoya slammed a new arrival on campus. “[A] dangerous and undesired element,” sniffed the editorial; “a cancer to our community.”
