‘Out of the public eye’: Artists accuse University Unions of unprofessionalism and censorship

Artists participating in a 'Visual History of the Unions' exhibition at the University of Michigan's Michigan Union have accused the University Unions administration of unprofessional conduct and censorship. The show, a collaboration between the Inclusive History Project, the Arts Initiative, and University Unions, was originally planned to run from October 2025 to January 2026 in high-traffic areas, but was reduced to a six-week run in a small alcove. One artist, Toby Millman, created a quilt depicting a 2024 pro-Palestine protest, and after submitting it, she and others received vague emails about delays and stakeholder concerns, leading them to believe the work was being suppressed.

Possible medieval artefacts, discovered at Canadian thrift store, will form basis of university archaeology class

A group of 11 rings and two medallions, believed to be medieval, was discovered at a Thrifty Boutique charity shop in Chilliwack, British Columbia. A volunteer found the items while sorting donations, and a customer with an archaeology background alerted staff that the objects might be ancient. The manager contacted Sabrina Higgins, an associate professor at Simon Fraser University (SFU), who arranged for the artefacts to be donated to the university's Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. Higgins and colleague Cara Tremain have designed a course for autumn 2026 in which students will analyze the objects' materials and designs to determine their provenance, culminating in an exhibition at the museum.
