Opinion

EVANS: Rekindle the conversation

The very people who exist to support the integrity of higher academia appear to be the least likely to encourage its efforts, particularly when that research is centered on climate change.


Opinion

OLSON: Je suis le monde

We must no longer only pay attention when the violence and destruction of terrorists is aimed at western values, cultures and political interests, but also when it is aimed at others who we may not identify as easily with.


Opinion

PATEL: Take-out lectures

Making all lectures available to students would, most importantly, allow sick or otherwise incapacitated students to miss class without missing any actual material.


Opinion

WHISNANT: Cinematic wisdom

Much has changed since 1965, but the film makes a compelling case that liberals and conservatives alike are well past due for an honest reckoning with their history.


Opinion

KELLY: We don’t need no education

Although the 180-day school year is by and large the norm in the United States, it is much shorter than in most other industrialized countries, where the school year usually lasts for 200 days or more and where students regularly outperform American students in most academic categories.


Opinion

An Intel-ligent proposal

Intel calculated that there would be a 48 percent increase of black employees represented in the company if the black population with the necessary qualifications was fully represented at Intel.


Opinion

MENNINGER: New FOAs are unfair

Those who wish to drink will find a way to drink, and in the case of first-years, they will either return to drink in their dorms or take to the streets and bars, using fake IDs in the process.


Opinion

BERNSTEIN: Welfare gone wrong

The Michigan state government gives tax credits or subsidizes many groups, including schools and public works; by only requiring drug screenings for welfare recipients, the government will effectively be discriminating against those individuals.


Opinion

BROOM: Continuing excellence

What are those changes, why do people want them and why haven’t they changed before? These are stories and answers I’d like to see explored so we might all learn more about our community and our culture.


Opinion

EVANS: Gleaning meaning

While student social life is fundamental to our University culture, the traditional fraternal experience does not truly complement our University’s core purpose.


Opinion

LANIUS: Law students can help too

Many of the solutions proposed in the discussions we have had in the Law School this semester are equally applicable to the greater University, yet our voices are rarely sought and seldom heard in discussions there.


Opinion

WAN: Re-evaluate the community

We believe that the self-governance of the University and the joint effort of the students and faculty can accomplish many amazing goals. However, proper treatment of sexual assault reports is not one of them.


Opinion

POWELL: A survivor's call to action

When you re-victimize a survivor, you trigger them and cause them to relive the assault and the pain that comes with it. Many of us fear these questions that our society deem acceptable and choose not to report to protect ourselves.
