Tammy Metcalf-Filzen, who was head coach of the women’s basketball team at Carleton from 1997 to 2010, returned as head coach after serving as interim head coach in 2018-19 and is leading the knights through a successful start to their season. This transition in leadership comes after the previous head coach, Cassie Kosiba resigned in 2018.
Anna Hughes '21 has noticed “performance differences on not only the individual level, but also the team level,” since the arrival of coach Metcalf-Filzen. Having a “strong system to resort back to is a huge boost to [the team’s] performance,” as playing as a unit was a struggle for the team in previous years. The system described by Hughes is so effective because the players “all know what [they] can expect from not only from Tammy, but from each other as well.”

In November 2017, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced proposed changes to the Title IX policies of the Obama administration, which are expected to be approved by the current administration this fall.

Proposed changes include requiring victims of sexual assault to provide a live cross-examination by an advisor, as well as a higher evidentiary standard requirement.

“Once the final regulations are announced, Carleton will need to update our policy and process to comply with these guidelines—this process will involve our entire campus community,” said Laura Riehle-Merrill, Carleton's Title IX Coordinator.

On Wednesday, October 9, randomly selected students were invited to join focus groups evaluating Bon Appetit At Carleton food services. The groups are part of a larger evaluative initiative, conducted in anticipation of Bon Appétit’s contract renewal.

“The goal for focus groups was to solicit a deeper understanding of the ‘voice of the campus,’" said Bon Appétit General Manager Katie McKenna. "This type of dialog can give us a deeper understanding of and insight into students’ current wants, needs, and priority points.”
