Stanford University is awarding five times as much money to a campus drag troupe as to an undergraduate veterans association after students overwhelmingly approved the grants in a campus-wide vote. The grants, which are funded by student dues, also include $175,000 for the Muslim Student Union—more than the budget for every Christian student group combined, according to a copy of the grants reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The numbers offer a window into the priorities of Stanford administrators, who determine which groups are eligible for funding based on how well they “complement the university’s mission,” and of the students themselves, who determine how much money eligible groups receive.

An Oklahoma principal who was shot in the leg while tackling a school shooter on Tuesday was hailed a hero for stopping the gunman and preventing a worse tragedy, officials said. Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore and other staff spotted the gunman, later identified as 20-year-old former student Victor Hawkins, and immediately jumped into action to subdue him, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI). “The principal of the school had noticed that an adult male subject, 20 years old, had stepped foot into the school with a gun,” OSBI spokesperson Hunter McKee told KOCO-TV.

“When the principal noticed this, he quickly stepped in, as well as other staff. The subject was able to fire multiple rounds, where the principal was hurt, but no one else was.” Moore was airlifted to a hospital in stable condition, authorities said. “The actions of the staff and the principal stepping in as soon as they saw a subject with a firearm saved lives today,” McKee told the outlet. The shooting unfolded around 2:21 p.m., according to authorities. The school was placed on lockdown until officers cleared the scene, and students were later reunited with their families.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A stabbing at a school in northern Chile killed at least one person and injured four others on Friday, police said. The attack occurred at about 10:40 a.m. local time at the Instituto Obispo Silva Lezaeta, located in the city of Calama, in the northern Antofagasta region. A 12th grade student attacked three students and two members of school staff, Chile’s national police force, the Carabineros, said in a statement. Police also said that “upon the arrival of officers, the individual was subdued and detained.” The school was evacuated and classes were canceled. The attack resulted in the death of a 59-year-old school supervisor. No information on the conditions of the four injured was immediately available. The attacker’s identity and age wasn’t immediately released, but Antofagasta governor Ricardo Díaz said that the assailant was a student. Díaz also said the student was carrying accelerant liquids, leading investigators to work on the hypothesis that the attack was premeditated.
