1. Rutgers Dean Accused Of Taking Upskirt Videos On His Phone (patch.com) — Residents in New Brunswick are learning that a Rutgers dean of research has been charged with invasion of privacy after authorities say he secretly recorded upskirt videos on the university's campus. The university has placed him on paid administrative leave and banned him from campus, while state investigators are asking anyone who believes they may be a victim to come forward.

The hybrid festival runs September 4–October 4 with additional screenings, an audio-visual concert, and free filmmaking workshops at Voorhees Hall, giving locals multiple chances to engage with independent cinema.
