Swipe A rare glimpse into John F. Kennedy Jr.’s 1983 graduation offers a portrait of youth, heritage, and the constant spotlight that trailed him.

These images show JFK Jr. celebrating with friends at Brown University, years before political expectations and relentless media attention would shape his adult life.

Even then, he was unmistakable — a president’s son who was photographed everywhere he went, yet still striving to enjoy an ordinary moment among classmates.

Glen shared that he's currently enrolled at the University of Texas, where he is getting his degree in Radio, Television and Film.⁠

"I'm finishing properly. I'm not doing the honorary degree," he explained in an interview with Variety. "I'm taking 6 credits a semester, so I will finish in Spring '27."⁠
⁠
Glen originally enrolled at UT in 2008 but left after his first year to pursue acting. (Fun fact: He was an econ major back then!)⁠
⁠
Now, he's a college student AND movie star, as he took his classes online while filming 'The Running Man' in London and returns to campus for proctored exams.⁠

We are so back

In 2015, the blogging site Tumblr launched a GIF discovery feature called Tumblr TV as an experimental product. Now, with the U.S. TikTok ban leaving the fate of the short-form video app uncertain, Tumblr has decided it’s finally time to launch Tumblr TV, which has since evolved to support video, to all its users as one of its standard features.

The company on Tuesday announced the product’s graduation from its experimental projects home known as Tumblr Labs, explaining how the tab would become available to everyone.

The decision to promote the video product from an experiment to a core feature nearly 10 years after its creation has a lot to do with the demand for TikTok alternatives in the wake of the U.S. law that banned the app and others with Chinese ownership in the country.

Like many apps, Tumblr noted it saw a surge of users joining its service on the day of the TikTok ban on January 19, a company spokesperson told TechCrunch.

Recent reports indicate that 23% of Harvard Business School's MBA Class of 2024 remained unemployed three months post-graduation, up from 20% in 2023 and 10% in 2022. This trend is also observed at other elite institutions:

Stanford Graduate School of Business: 22% unemployment rate.

Wharton School: 20% unemployment rate.

New York University's Stern School of Business: Similar declines in job placement.

The downturn is largely attributed to reduced hiring by major employers, including consultancies and tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Kristen Fitzpatrick, overseeing career development at Harvard Business School, noted that an HBS degree alone isn't a differentiator; possessing the right skills is crucial.

In response, business schools are enhancing career services, offering AI-driven resume matching and job search-focused classes to support graduates in a challenging job market.

Ella Stapleton, a senior at Northeastern University, discovered her business professor Rick Arrowood was secretly using ChatGPT and other AI tools to create course materials despite the syllabus explicitly prohibiting students from using artificial intelligence. Stapleton noticed telltale signs including AI-generated prompts like "expand on all areas. Be more detailed and specific" embedded in lecture notes, images with extra limbs, and a ChatGPT citation buried in the bibliography.⁠
⁠
Feeling deceived by what she perceived as educational hypocrisy—paying premium tuition for human instruction only to receive AI-generated content—Stapleton filed a formal complaint demanding an $8,000 refund representing the full cost of the course. "He's telling us not to use it, yet he's using it himself," she told The New York Times, highlighting the double standard that has emerged in higher education.⁠
⁠
Northeastern University ultimately rejected her refund request on the day after her May 2025 graduation, despite Professor Arrowood acknowledging he had used ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, and Gamma to "refresh" his materials. The incident reflects a growing tension where students increasingly scrutinize professors for AI usage while facing strict prohibitions themselves, with many arguing they're paying for human expertise, not algorithm-generated content they could access for free.
