NORTHBOROUGH Mariam Ibrahimi recently announced that she has officially secured a spot on the ballot for Northborough-Southborough Regional School Committee.
Ibrahimi, who currently serves as the vice chair of the Northborough Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and is a 2019 graduate of Algonquin Regional High School, is running to become the youngest member of the Regional School Committee.
“I am running to amplify and empower the voices of people who are currently not represented by the Regional School Committee,” Ibrahimi said. “When we say we want more ‘diversity and inclusion’ in our community, it means having representative voices that don’t just have a seat at the table, but have the power to make decisions. With my experience in local government as well as community organizing, I would bring valuable expertise to the committee and represent those currently not heard by the committee, including students and people of color.”
A group of Clemson University students began an indefinite protest against a potential tuition increase Thursday at Sikes Hall, the iconic campus building housing administration and the site of several past protests.
About three-dozen lawn chairs were set up in front of the administration building s lawn around noonThursday . A third were filled with student protestors. The amount of tuition that they can raise can really be the difference to a student being able to have housing or being able to afford food, Clemson junior Braxton Howell said Thursday. And by them increasing the tuition, it causes more students to have to go on loans, causes more students to be food insecure and more students who are going to struggle to find housing.
