The tradition of papal conclaves, originating in 1268, has evolved from dramatic and prolonged events, like the first conclave in Viterbo, to more structured and solemn modern processes, yet they remain subjects of great interest and speculation. Despite the changes over centuries, the secretive nature of conclaves persists, with the upcoming election of Pope Francis' successor anticipated to be less contentious but still uncertain. Pope Francis' expressed wish to be buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore highlights his personal devotion, while the grandeur of papal funerals continues to reflect the pope's significant spiritual and temporal influence.

The Department of Education has opened an investigation into Harvard University's admissions process following a complaint from advocacy groups alleging that the school's use of legacy admissions violates federal civil rights law. The complaint accuses Harvard of giving preferential treatment to applicants with familial ties to wealthy donors and alumni, and if the Office for Civil Rights finds Harvard in violation of Title VI, the school could be required to make changes to its admissions process. The investigation is the latest development in the legal battle over U.S. college admissions and could have far-reaching implications for the admissions process at Harvard and other universities.
Lawyers for Civil Rights is challenging Harvard University's legacy admissions policy, alleging that it discriminates against students of color. The suit claims that the policy violates the Civil Rights Act and gives an unfair boost to mostly white children of alumni. The case is a response to the Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action in college admissions, and could have a significant impact on the admissions process at Harvard and other universities.
The United States Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that affirmative action programs at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina are unconstitutional, meaning that race can no longer be a factor in college admissions. The decision has been met with criticism from those who argue that affirmative action is necessary to provide equal access to educational opportunities for students of color, while supporters of the decision argue that race-conscious policies are unconstitutional. The ruling is likely to have a lasting impact on the diversity of college campuses across the country.
