LETTER: In defense of Aramark

It is important to understand that there is a lot of misinformation and propaganda around Aramark and our service of food to the Corrections industry, as a result of a 2016 documentary and ongoing activism around the prison industrial complex.

​LETTER: Reclaim the 'Good Old Song'

A generation later, students have again taken to yelling out at the same moment in the song, with most directing a profane slur toward another in-state school.

​LETTER: Questions about Affordable Excellence

LETTER: University students live on

​LETTER: Is there a "crisis" in higher education?

In the United States we should always correct the damage we do, whether in a car accident or a social and legal train wreck such as this. Lawsuits with very large damages awarded to the parties that have been damaged are in order. Clearly Rolling Stone is going to be the primary object of litigation. However, University administrators who often hide behind pious shields and the fact that they woe for a "public" institution must not be let off the hook — no catch and release for them.
