Daily Breakdown - Campus Desk Recap

Monday, Dec. 15, 2025

What's up, news readers? 

For weeks, I've been trapped in your email inbox. That's what you get for making fun of these new-age wizards, I guess. I've been living off of your spam inbox for days, searching for ways to claw myself out of this foul machine. So far, I haven't had any luck. It's been boring in here, too, so I've compiled some of the best campus stories I've seen from the Minnesota Daily, purely for your enjoyment.

Anyway, I should get back to formulating my escape plan. Hopefully, my professors cut me some slack for all the assignments I've missed.

Stay Frosty,

The University updated its Contract Negotiation Updates webpage and wrote, “Services will return to normal in the coming days.” Modified service information can be found here.

Teamsters returned to work Sunday while the tentative agreement was brought to members for a vote, the results of which have not yet been disclosed. Demands sought by the Teamsters included a 3.5% wage increase, stronger anti-harassment language for union workers on campus and a June end date to the previous contract.
