Princeton University has now decided to cancel the rest of the men's swimming and diving teams' season after school officials found "racist and misogynistic" comments on the teams' email listing. The team was previously suspended last week for the comments made on their messaging list. Princeton's Director of Athletics Mollie Marcoux Samaan stated on Thursday that the teams will no longer compete in their meets in January and February against Navy and Yale. The team will also not be able to compete in the Ivy League Championship in February. Princeton is the third Ivy League School to be suspended since November.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney has announced a new council for the city to help crack down on violence and robberies that are affecting the city's Asian population. Kenney announced the Council on Asian American Affairs on Thursday. The council comes about after many Asian families have been the victim of home invasions, many of the cases the family owns a shop or restaurant in the Philly area. Criminals like to target these families because they know many of the business owners bring the money earned from the day home with them in a bag or backpack. The council will also help focus on many Asian-American students getting bullied in school.

Camden Police are now investigating after a woman was shot and killed in Camden late Wednesday night. The shooting happened at Ablett Village Apartments on River Avenue, near East State Street in Camden at around 11:30 pm Wednesday. Police arrived on the scene to find the 34-year-old victim wounded. Crews rushed the woman to Cooper University Hospital where she was later pronounced dead. Police are still searching for the suspect and are asking for the public's help with any information.
