I would argue that the University’s duty to favor in-state students is already strongly fulfilled through in-state tuition.
Physical textbooks provide productivity that digital textbooks cannot. This does not apply to elementary students that only use digital textbooks in class but rather to middle school, high school and college students that spend too much time on social networks.
With so many responsibilities, doesn’t the ability to choose our roommates — without conditions of sex or gender — seem consistent and fair?
It is likely that Republican candidate Mark Obenshain will demand a recount; since only 165 votes decided this election, this demand would be entirely reasonable. But there is also the possibility that after a recount Obenshain will contest the race, in which case it will be subject to review by Virginia’s General Assembly. In Virginia, a losing candidate can contest a race if there was some irregularity in the management of the election that possibly changed the election’s outcome.
I caution users of sites such as StatFuse to view its predictions skeptically, even though the site may relieve prospective college students of some of the stress of the application process.
Sometimes you feel cute, handsome, excited, silly or any other conceivable emotion, and you have a desire to capture yourself in that moment. This is neither shameful nor revolutionary.
I’m going to come right out and say it: I hate the holidays.
Eating disorders are not something to be taken lightly.
The University must assume a greater responsibility in educating a scientifically informed citizenry.
Scrapping the policy would cause a resurgence in population growth in urban areas, increasing the difficulty involved in solving problems such as famine and pollution. Part of China’s original reasoning for the policy was that uncontrolled population growth was leading to the depletion of natural resources, including land fertility for crops.
As Christmas shopping, finals and holiday travel lead to us all stressing out, it’s easy to lose track of how lucky we are as students at the University.
Natural disasters tend to affect poor areas much more than rich ones. Haiti’s poor infrastructure exacerbated the effects of the devastating 2010 earthquake that struck the country: collapsing buildings and other structures caused thousands of deaths. In contrast, the earthquake that struck California in 1989, which recorded about the same magnitude as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, killed just 63 people.
As soon as we allow for agents of the state or even citizens of our nation to exempt themselves from common laws on the basis of moral conviction, we allow each person to become, as Justice Brandeis once put it, “a law unto himself.”
Even the most worthwhile cause can be disregarded if a certain group imprudently promotes its views. Such is the case at the University of Texas at Austin, where a student club’s desire for discussion and dialogue has been overshadowed by its own idiocy.
After years of Tea Party-led trench warfare in Washington, such a message is understandably relieving for liberals looking for an opposition party willing to govern. It is Christie’s brand as a “moderate dealmaker,” however, that ultimately makes him so dangerous to everything liberals claim to value, especially to the New Deal vision of social democracy that liberals have been building for generations.
With social media providing a ready-made forum for friends and acquaintances to engage, why wouldn’t we take advantage of it?
Any attempt to reform the NSA and other such agencies should not be so impassioned as to render the agencies themselves ineffectual. Instead, we should attempt to eliminate impermissible invasions of personal privacy while allowing reasonable intelligence-gathering for national defense purposes.
Under orders from current Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who recently lost his bid for governor, Fairfax County, which leans blue, had to retroactively change the rules so that legal proxies are no longer allowed to advocate for ballots if the voters themselves are not present. Voters had until last Tuesday to come back to the polls to defend their ballots.
Since New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s sweeping victory last week — and before it — many pundits consider Christie the likely GOP nominee for president in 2016.
October, with its endless midterms, interminable stress and great parties, has finally ended. With it came the end of another source of angst: Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
