Brown University has filed disciplinary charges against a student journalist who sent a Department of Government Efficiency-inspired email asking administrators to explain what they do all day.
Mimicking an email that Elon Musk’s DOGE sent to federal workers, sophomore Alex Shieh asked 3,805 administrators at the Ivy League campus in a March 18 email to “describe what tasks you performed in the past week.”
In a phone call Wednesday, Mr. Shieh said the Ivy League university has summoned him to answer charges of misrepresenting himself as a reporter for the Brown Spectator, an unrecognized conservative student publication.
