• Haverford adopts anti-Semitism reforms after lawsuit settlement (campusreform.org) — Haverford College in Haverford is rolling out new anti‑Semitism policies and training after settling a lawsuit alleging it failed to protect Jewish students. The agreement creates an Antisemitism Committee, mandates annual awareness training, and clarifies protections for Jewish, Israeli, and Zionist students. College leadership also acknowledged past failures following the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks and pledged to improve campus climate.
• All-Delco Baseball: Staying close to home made Haverford's Boyle a star (delcotimes.com) — Haverford baseball standout Jimmy Boyle has been named All‑Delco Baseball Player of the Year after leading the Fords to a second straight Central League title.
