CONNOLLY: Missing the mark

To suggest that intolerance of hate speech is socially liberal (and thereby, is hate speech itself a product of social conservatism?) is an unfair classification.


Opinion

BERNSTEIN: Give peace a chance

This change has also already increased tensions in other Asian countries, including China and South Korea, both of which fear Japanese aggression and argue Japan risks creating hostility with this new policy.


Opinion

Caring for the community

Though the logistics of the student plan and the faculty/staff plan are different, principles of equality should apply to all members of the University community — and that includes professors and workers.


Opinion

KHAN: Public art

Not only do Stanton’s photos break molds and encourage social dialogue, they do so in a way in which the common man can participate.


Opinion

WAN: The international experience

Although many international students come with a strong interest in learning about American culture, cultural disorientation can still be more difficult than anyone without such experience could possibly imagine.


Opinion

EDEL: Having the last Yak

Anything the University student writes or says she should be proud to attach her name to, just as the secret society leaves their calling card in their wake.


Opinion

A matter of choice

For a school to create policies which impose or prohibit certain habits like smoking is to assert too much authority to decide what personal practices students should and should not be doing.


Opinion

FOGEL: Not the best choice

This demonstrates that students taking a multiple-choice test may focus too much on the recall aspect of the exam, which would impair their ability to understand the content in the long-run.


Opinion

WHISNANT: Duplicitous politics

In recent years, neoliberal ideology has increasingly revealed its limits while illustrating the necessity of grounding any kind of progressive vision in the lived experiences of the disadvantaged and marginalized.


Opinion

HORNE: Just a gift

In modern society, men do not pay for dates because the woman cannot. Men pay for dates as an act of kindness or a practice of tradition.


Opinion

Finding the good

We are not going to see incidents of gender-based violence disappear overnight. We must remember that tangible change will take time.


Opinion

KELLY: Safeguarding neutrality

Without strong enforcement of the principles of net neutrality, students and faculty alike will inevitably have to pay fees to receive prioritized transmission of the University’s content and services.


Opinion

WILLIAMS: Free from blame

Some might demand that students stay in their rooms at night; that they refrain from substances; that they wear more “appropriate” attire; that they keep to their circle of friends; that their skirts are longer or their heels are shorter; etc.


Opinion

Don’t be too commercial

Involving students in advertising efforts may be the best way for an institution to distinguish itself, because the one asset a university has which no other has is its students — all of them with unique stories to tell and diverse perspectives to bring.
