In 2010, the University of Virginia earned a “green light” rating by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education after eliminating four speech codes it previously had in place. This came after the constitutionality of these speech codes were brought up by members of the University’s community. Four years later, a Rolling Stone article attempted to expose alarming flaws in the way the University handles its sexual assault cases.

The government of Puerto Rico is facing a crisis that will come to test the island’s relationship with the United States — and, hopefully, reshape it.

In the past few weeks, an ideology regarding tipping has gained significant traction inside the restaurant industry: higher menu prices, higher wages and no tipping. Four days ago, this custom drew significant attention from the entire restaurant industry when Danny Meyer, the famous New York City restaurateur and CEO of the Union Square Hospitality Group, announced he is doing away with tipping in all of his 13 restaurants — a laudable contribution toward eliminating wage inequality inside the industry.

The University has a very competitive student body. Due to its low acceptance rate and competitive application process, people who are offered admission are naturally some of the truly superior applicants. Most of them are used to being overachievers, so being exposed to people as bright as they are — and most of the time even brighter — is a frightening experience. A lot of the time, the natural result of this exposure is a loss of confidence, poor-decision making, panic and a lack of a sense of direction. Is this an unavoidable part of the college experience, or is it a result of the University not doing enough to foster a balance between competition and collaboration? I believe most of the blame lies on the University.

On a daily basis, the United States confronts a wide range of major events that are of interest and concern to the American people. Journalism — along with advancements in technology and media outlets used by reporters — enables the 21st century average American to enjoy the privilege of being handed a synthesis of events along with informative facts that allow him to keep track of even the most recent local, national and international incidents.

It was Sept. 9, 2015. The audience sat at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco eagerly waiting to see what Apple had up its sleeve for the conference. After presenting the newest addition to the iPad family, the iPad Pro, Apple revealed something quite unexpected: the Apple Pencil. As soon as Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, uttered out the words “Apple Pencil”, the product was received with a burst of audible laughs. This reaction was attributed to the audience’s realization that Apple had just played into the infamous stereotype of capitalizing on everyday objects and inspirations by introducing pre-existing and everyday products with a new design and a different name. But on a deeper level, those present had just witnessed Apple going against Steve Jobs’ wish of getting rid of a stylus once and for all. This accusation quickly ignited articles and responses that mocked the new product and accused the technology giant of going against its co-founder’s wish of getting rid of the stylus. Jobs, during the launch of Apple’s first tablet, said that "if you see a stylus" on tablets, you know that the tablet makers "blew it.” Jobs believed the tablet makers, by including a stylus, would be depriving the user of the intimate experience the use of fingers provides. According to these critics, the new stylus, the Pencil, is going against the company’s ideology regarding tablets. And they could not be more wrong.

“Pro Scientia Atque Sapientia”: For knowledge and wisdom. This is the motto for Stuyvesant High School, one of nine specialized high schools in New York City. In 2012, The New York Times reported a widespread case of cheating at Stuyvesant, which involved more than 80 students allegedly communicating via text message regarding exam information. The high school principal uncovered this by confiscating a teen’s cell phone during a state language exam, only to find evidence of communication between students regarding a state exam’s confidential information. The incident ignited a fiery debate and brought to light an eyebrow-raising concern about our current educational system.
