  • Northwestern University has suspended all women's soccer activities, pending an investigation of possible hazing on the team, the Associated Press reported.

  • Flooding in New England has forced a number of college closings -- many of them coming in the middle of final exams, which colleges are pledging to reschedule as soon as possible. Among the institutions affected are Middlesex Community College and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, both of which closed.

  • The president of the University of Georgia has asked CBS and city officials in Jacksonville, Fla., to stop referring to the annual football game between his institution and the University of Florida as "the world's largest outdoor cocktail party," the Associated Press reports.
