On Nov. 6, 2025, U.S. District Judge John McConnell denied the Trump administration’s request to provide partial payments for SNAP benefits, which would allow the government to avoid tapping into additional funds. McConnell’s verdict prevented the Trump administration’s plans to cut SNAP benefits for nearly 42 million Americans. November’s SNAP funds are expected to be around $9 million, only $5 million of which the government was required to pay, and the remaining $4 million to be paid through other means. SNAP is a government program that requires each individual state to work alongside its Electronic Benefit Transfer. If a state sets a deadline to begin the funding process, then the SNAP program will face delays.

A government shutdown occurs when Congress is unable to pass appropriation bills that fund the operations of federal agencies and programs. All fed...

The college will soon adopt an External Speakers Policy outlining the proper procedures to follow when members of the Allegheny community invite an individual to campus to speak. The move comes six months after a controversial speaker visited campus to host a discussion about preventing transgender women from participating in women’s sports; however, college officials said the creation of the new policy is unrelated to that event.

When I first came to Allegheny, I was thrilled to meet new people. Because I had known most of my classmates since elementary school, they had all seen me go through my purple phase (when all my outfits included at least one purple item) and my Hermione Granger phase (where I was very much an annoying know-it-all). I was very eager to leave these phases behind.
It was not the sunshine and roses that I had anticipated, though.

My high school was very clique-y. Not in the way that movies portray it, with every group neatly divided into easily labeled groups (the jocks, the nerds, the band kids, etc.), but in a way where everyone seemed to instinctively know which group they belonged to. With the way the school system was s...

According to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as of Oct. 16, the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program has not been funded across the country because of the government shutdown. Typically, SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps, “reset” every month. But, as of Nov. 1, 41 million people across the United States haven’t received their benefits. That’s 12% of the population.

Update: On Tuesday, Nov. 4, President Trump posted on Truth Social that he will not fund SNAP benefits until the “Radical Left Democrats” end the government shutdown, directly ignoring a court order to do otherwise. Later that day, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that the ...

There is a common misconception that Greek life is only for a specific demographic; that you must look and act a certain way in order to be a sorority sister. Alexandria Richard, ’27, knows how harmful these stereotypes can be first hand, so she is now the Pan-Hellenic Council Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to try to make a difference. Richard hosted the first of what she hopes to be many DEI events at Grounds for Change, Thursday, Oct. 30.

Jesse Eisenberg has revealed he plans to donate one of his kidneys to a stranger, according to The Daily Beast on Oct. 30.
“I appreciate this and all but I’m fine. I don’t need a new kidney,” said the recipient of Eisenberg’s kidney. “He just showed up at my door, keeled over and grabbed his abdomen and started screaming ‘Take it, just take it, for the love of God please take it.’ It was in a Dollar General bag. I was so confused I just grabbed it, thanked him and closed the door.”

A little more than six months after its official ribbon-cutting, Allegheny College’s branch campus in Meadville — the Allegheny Lab for Innovation and Creativity, also known as ALIC @ Bessemer — is entering a new phase of growth. The lab, which serves as a bridge between Allegheny’s liberal arts education and the region’s advanced manufacturing community, recently received a $400,000 grant from the National Science Foundation through the foundation’s Enabling Partnerships to Increase Innovation Capacity program. The grant marks a major milestone for the college’s commitment to economic development and workforce innovation in northwestern Pennsylvania.
