TIDAL BASIN
Biker Struck and Killed by a Car at Crosswalk
A Bethesda man was struck and killed by a car Sunday night while riding a bicycle near the Tidal Basin, U.S. Park Police said.
The victim, Ian M. Wolfe, 24, was headed south across Maine Avenue SW in a crosswalk, toward the Tidal Basin parking lot, when he was struck about 11:20 p.m., police said.
They said the vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, was traveling east on Maine with a green light at the intersection where the collision occurred.
The driver "remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation," police said in a statement.

UDC
President Announces Closure of Faculty Group
University of the District of Columbia President Allen Sessoms announced yesterday that the school was shutting down the University Senate, which represents faculty, and that it would be replaced by a forum of professors, students, staff members and administrators.
Sessoms, who became president last month, said the school's board had told him the University Senate had not been responsive to efforts to get professors' views on major decisions facing the institution.
The group has been vocal this year with concerns about the presidential search process, the selection of Sessoms, and discussions about creating a separate community college within UDC.
Sydney Hall, the head of the University Senate, said the group was being made the "culprit" for highlighting problems at the school.
