The country’s more than 300 research universities are defined by their ability to produce research doctorates and collectively receive $65 billion from the federal government each fiscal year. The Trump administration, however, has made attempts to lessen the federal government’s financial support for American higher education. The response from higher education institutions has been to reduce the size of many Ph.D. programs — by a factor of around 15 percent, based on data from a group of Association of American Universities member institutions.

As the start of a new semester approaches and summer vacation enters its final stretches, time can feel like it is moving faster than ever. Between one last laughter-filled hangout with hometown friends, wrapping up a grueling summer internship or last-minute shopping for dorm decor, August is often defined by the bittersweet changes it brings. As the easygoing ebb and flow of the summer gives way to the excitement and uncertainty of a new school year, many students may find themselves wishing for a little more time with the sun-filled days of summer. While no one can actually rewind the ever-ticking clock, these three books offer the next best thing — a journey beyond the present that transports readers across timelines, alternate realities and lives lived in unexpected ways.

Research universities are opening their checkbooks wider to fight for research funding that used to require much less defending. But this increase in spending is not the problem itself — it is a symptom of a changing relationship between the federal government and higher education. At the University, the Office of Federal Relations, led by Julia Smith, executive director for federal relations and special assistant to the president, works with the Virginia Delegation to primarily lobby for the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and NASA appropriations. Smith’s own account notes that research funding was last year’s defining battle. The University’s lobbying spending jump did not happen in a vacuum — the University has been hit hard by federal funding cuts and now finds itself bargaining for its institutional autonomy. A public research university having to negotiate for its independence is, on its face, an indictment of the system it operates within.

Following Hollywood’s recent string of biopics dramatizing the lives of beloved cultural icons, “Tony” — a biopic based on the early life of food celebrity Anthony Bourdain — will hit theaters nationwide Friday following its limited release Aug. 7. In recent times, cinephiles have criticized the film industry’s apparent emerging obsession with the biographical genre, often citing that producers are choosing to invest in existing fanbases rather than taking on new ideas. While these movies draw crowds, they may fail to make a lasting impact or tell a compelling story. A common objection to biopics’ is their habit of worshipping their subjects, a hazard that “Tony” masterfully evades.
