Bear With Me: Brown Rise Up
Episode 5
Friday, 12 December, 2025
Welcome back to Bear With Me, a new interviews show on politics from the Brown Daily Herald newsroom. I’m your host, Evan Tao.Elite universities like Brown have been one of the main targets of the Trump administration’s efforts to reshape American civil society. Brown is no exception. In September, the federal government proposed a compact with Brown and eight other schools which it deemed “good actors.” In response, some students formed an organization called Brown Rise Up, organizing demonstrations involving undergraduates, graduates, alumni and faculty, urging Brown to reject the compact, which it did by October. From up on College Hill, so much of the chaos in the news can feel theoretical and distant. But this is immediate and directly affects our school. How we respond matters. This week, I invited Raya Gupta ‘29 and Levi Kim ‘29, two first-year students and spokespeople for Brown Rise Up, onto the show to discuss what happened and what might come next.Host: Evan TaoEditing: Evan Tao, Anisha KumarBackground music: Eitan Frank
