Why the Ivy League defense raises problems

Similarities transcend different religions

Katie Goldman

The University makes it easy for its students to expand their knowledge of different religions; it is up to us to take these opportunities. Now more than ever, it is vital for us to educate ourselves on others’ beliefs and denounce ignorance.

The future is scary. Go meditate.

With mindfulness, we can appreciate the things we do understand: our own bodies, our own thoughts, and all that the environment we are lucky to be a part of offers.

Want to help the world? Don’t do drugs

While University students comfortably use drugs in their ivory castles and lavish mansions, someone in a different part of the world is suffering for their selfish decisions.

Abolish Bicker

Abolish Bicker

Should we be celebrating on election night?

Should we be celebrating on election night?

Benjamin Gelman

There must be an effort made, at least for one night, to be able to feel both severe disappointment when a candidate we believe is dangerous or unqualified wins, and a feeling of intense pride in our working democracy.

Protect our students and protect our survivors

Protect our students and protect our survivors

Sarah Sakha

On Friday, Betsy DeVos unveiled her new plan offering guidelines to schools on how to adjudicate cases of sexual misconduct — in an attempt to increase justice, fairness, and equity in the system. It achieves the antithesis of those values.

We need a real break

We need a real break

Shannon Chaffers

Academic growth, however, cannot be achieved by completing unending piles of work; that constant stress will only wear us down to the point where we can no longer do our best work.

Allow students to pass/D/fail up to eight classes, whenever they please

Hunter Campbell

However, the changes would be a start in bringing the University’s pass/D/fail system up to par with those at our fellow Ivy League institutions.

Veterans Day, and our military culture, is flawed, but fixable

Arman Badrei

Despite our nation’s alleged glorification of the military, we emphasize the superficial aspects, and in doing so, do not place a genuine importance on the serious issues related to the military.
