Week 4 Update: UGo Shuttle Ambassadors, AEPi Sexual Assault Case, and More
The Maroon recaps the top stories from the past few weeks.
Episode Notes
Maroon Podcasts Editor Aubrey Barb sits down with UChicago Democrats Transportation Caucus members Arya Sharma and Sara Baudler to discuss the new UGo Shuttle Ambassadors program, meant to expand ridership and accessibility of our on-campus shuttle system. We also review current campus news: a woman was sexually assaulted at the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity house; UChicago alum Michael Woodford (A.B. ’77) received the 2026 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences; second-year Nikolas Polsinelli appeared on Jeopardy!; and the Promontory Point limestone revetment may be in danger.
Editor’s note: Although this wasn’t mentioned in the recording, the full article about the UGo Shuttle Ambassador Program is by Kaci Sziraki. Also, roughly 75% of the MTR Corporation, which operates Hong Kong’s public transportation system, is owned by the city. The remainder is privately owned.
