of Minnesota Interim President Jeff Ettinger appeared before the Minnesota Senate Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety Tuesday afternoon at the Minnesota Senate building in St Along with negotiating with pro-Palestine protesters to stop its encampment Ettinger admitted to signing an agreement that had a statement using a term allegedly "referencing Hamas’ foundational mission to exterminate Jews in Israel," although he admitted before the committee he hadn't realized what he had approved Ettinger's appearance comes as state lawmakers grapple with understanding the institution’s increase in antisemitic incidents after the Oct 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the ensuing conflict overseas Minnesota’s flagship university saw roughly 170 bias incident reports during the 2023-24 academic year a stark increase from the 55 reports in 2022-23 roughly one-third involved antisemitic rhetoric while Islamophobia contributed to one-fifth of the reports Minnesota Senate

on campus Specific topics included the university’s response to student protests student negotiations and vandalism against Minnesota Hillel More: University of Minnesota negotiates University of Minnesota pro-Palestine encampment cleared, agreement reached expressed concerns about the precedent the university may have set for future student protests showing disappointment in the university’s decision to drop criminal charges against the nine protesters arrested on April 23 for failing to abide by a dispersal order “I’m particularly concerned that the lack of sanctions for those who violated the law could encourage future disruptions,” Latz said this will only signal to future protesters that they can act with impunity Ettinger said the university used its prosecutorial discretion to dismiss the criminal cases in an effort to balance its priorities — ensuring safety and adhering to the law and university policies He explained that if more students were arrested it would have created a numbers game favoring the protesting students police-heavy approach would have produced a different result referencing the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s unsuccessful attempts where police intervention didn't end long-term demonstrations these would need to be hands-on arrests with every arrest requiring two officers,” Ettinger said “The officers need to leave the premises with the arrested person You can quickly understand how soon you have a very diminished force.” who holds a law degree from the University of California Los Angeles said if Minnesota had an option to

about the university's disclosures University president admits he signed document with alleged "extermination of Jews" rhetoric in itWhen the university announced the agreement with the protesters Latz said it included an Arabic term referencing “Hamas’ foundational mission to exterminate Jews in Israel.” Ettinger accepted responsibility for "the mistake," saying he didn’t know what the word meant and that the communication was drafted to meet students’ needs in a late-night frenzy we ended up finalizing that document at 5 a.m.,” said Ettinger former CEO of the Hormel Foods Corporation “Those topics were characterized by the students as their demands Minnesota’s state legislature is not currently in session and no official action can be taken based on Tuesday’s findings until it reconvenes in January Despite increased biased incident statistics one member of the university’s Jewish community said in his testimony that he didn’t experience antisemitic sentiments firsthand “There’s been an effort to suppress people like me into acting as though all Jewish students experience the same thing and that all Jewish students are opposed to the protests and all the protesters are opposed to the Jewish students,” Wagenfeld said “I think that does a huge disservice to both Jewish and Israeli people.” Corey Schmidt covers local government for the St See the latest news from

the Australian Women’s Keelboat Regatta for female sailors only but I’ve only been racing with him for the last four years He’s given me the opportunity and encouraged me all the way even loaning the boat to us for us for the Australian Women’s Keelboat Regatta,” says Olding who has over 5,000 nautical miles behind her The Victorian sailor says her love of ocean racing comes from “A million different unknown variables and watching crew to work under those variables It’s awesome to see people deal with difficult situations and see them come out the other end in good shape.” She would love to see an increase in younger women racing offshore: “It makes you realise how competent you are problem solving and an appreciation for where you are You see dolphins and whales and it all sticks with you Vertigo won the ORCV’s Launceston to Hobart (2019) She also won the ORCV’s 2021 Melbourne to Devonport ‘Rudder Cup’ Australia’s oldest ocean race and the fifth oldest organised ocean yacht

experienced to novice sailors that will hopefully complement each other,” admits Hesselmans Hesselmans competed double-handed on her then yacht including daughter Sophie and Sue Bumstead “Sophie was my incredibly competent crew sailing home from the 2018 Melbourne Osaka (Hesselmans and her partner finished seventh over the line and fifth in PHS) and in the Westcoaster Sophie introduced her partner to sailing on her Duncanson 34 They’re currently cruising in the Northern Territory “My sister is fairly new to the concept of ocean racing She did Bass Strait with me in February but otherwise sailed a dinghy in her teens.” Hesselmans has switched gears and now runs ‘Paper Sailors Rock’ providing sailing adventures and sail training RYA courses via FIKA “My goal is to make sailing inclusive for all Being a female skipper is my passion though so I like to encourage more women onto the water and to develop confidence I’m in the process of becoming RYA accredited so that I can offer a range of sailing courses.” FIKA’s owner says she has reasons for participating in the 50th Melbourne to Hobart with family and friends: “The camaraderie festivities and of course celebrating the 50th and being part of such an iconic race.” There are many other women also taking part in the race across those yachts already entered The 435 nautical mile Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race

Communications sits next to a modern replica in Germany's Bundeskunsthalle museum last year (Credit: Oliver Berg/DPA/Alamy)William Cook takes a look at the school which survived persecution again and again to influence the design of living today Germany’s Bauhaus Archiv is throwing a farewell party Next year this museum will close for renovation and until then it’s presenting a display of ‘greatest hits’ from the world’s biggest Bauhaus collection From furniture and posters to crockery and cutlery these exquisite objects show how the Bauhaus school shaped our idea of good design the word Bauhaus conjures up a certain type of modern architecture – that stark aesthetic that spawned a million tower blocks But the Bauhaus was much more than an architectural style – it was a new way of thinking its ideas still set the pattern for the way we live today The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 in the German city of Weimar by a Prussian architect called Walter Gropius students here were taught to look at the world around them in an entirely different way There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman – Walter GropiusBauhaus means ‘building house’ but Gropius didn’t want to build only houses He wanted to create a new breed of artists Traditional art schools were conservative and elitist Technical colleges were dreary and conventional Gropius broke down the barrier between fine art and applied arts “There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman,” he said “An object is defined by its nature,” announced Gropius “In order to design it to function properly it must fulfil its function in a practical way.” Instead of sitting in stuffy classrooms listening to lectures The Bauhaus produced an incredible array of artefacts all distinguished by their functional and elegant construction their streamlined appearance was revolutionary “Bauhaus workshops are laboratories in which prototypes of products suitable for mass production are carefully developed and continually improved,” declared Gropius the Bauhaus will train and educate a new type of worker for craft and industry who has an equal command of both technology and form.” An object is defined by its nature – Walter GropiusNot everyone shared his vision the liberals who had supported the Bauhaus were defeated and the new conservative government cut off the school’s funding the word about the Bauhaus had spread way beyond Weimar The local government commissioned a spectacular new building Gropius left in 1928 to resume his career as an architect Bauhaus wallpaper became the school’s bestselling product here was an art school which could actually pay its way In 1930 Dessau’s city council dismissed Meyer on account of his “communist tendencies,” and in 1931 the Nazis won the local elections having promised to close the Bauhaus (they called it “cultural bolshevism”) Thankfully Gropius’s building survived and still stands there today but the students and teachers were forced to flee They found a new home in an old factory in Berlin Why did the Nazis feel so threatened by the Bauhaus Why were they so scared of an art school that made modernist furniture and kitchenware Because it represented a world view which was the complete opposite of National Socialism The Bauhaus was cosmopolitan and avant-garde Its international ethos made a mockery of Hitler’s racist fantasies the persecution of the Bauhaus by the Nazis was a (very) backhanded compliment it was this persecution of the Bauhaus which ensured its survival Gropius and Mies van der Rohe went to America where they were joined by Bauhaus teachers such as Josef Albers Moholy-Nagy founded the ‘New Bauhaus’ in Chicago New York’s Museum of Modern Art staged a blockbuster Bauhaus exhibition The true measure of its immense influence is how familiar it has becomeBut what exactly is Bauhaus style ‘Less is More,’ is a good place to start (‘chuck out the chintz’ is just as good) Each element is stripped down to its bare essentials Yet the true measure of its immense influence is how familiar it has become Wandering around the Bauhaus Archiv (a futuristic building designed by Gropius and eventually built after his death) the exhibits here seem so contemporary It’s only when you read the labels that you realise they are nearly a hundred years old Once a

Play Duration: 31 minutes 21 seconds31m Brought to you by 2019 marks a century since the opening of a visionary project - a new school of art, architecture and design. Germany lay in ruins, traumatised by years of war, and it was out of this landscape that the Bauhaus emerged. It was the brainchild of Walter Gropius, a German architect returning to his career after serving on the front lines in WW1. The Bauhaus existed for just 14 years, before it closed for good in 1933, collateral damage in the Nazi purge of institutions seen as intellectual or bourgeois. Scott Wales travels to Germany to find out why the Bauhaus remains a key foundation of the Modernist movement, with an enduring international legacy.
