Those who truly sacrificed their body through providing an invaluable service to this nation. . . are more likely to face economic hardship than many other demographics of disabled people in the United States.
By regarding the presentation of the Apple Pencil as the capitalization of an everyday object, it is easy to label Apple as a purely profit-motivated company desperately seeking to increase its presence in our everyday lives.
A report issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted that by 2050, wildfires will consume 20 million acres per year in the United States, more than twice the current record.
Enforcing dress codes meant to keep boys from getting distracted, rather than making certain everyone is dressed in a manner appropriate for an academic setting, sends the message that a boy’s education is more important than a girl’s.
In reality, ISIS does not have the resources or capabilities to carry out the sort of systematic acts of terror of which the media has made us so weary.
It is folly to believe Trump stands for any principles the American right purports to represent.
The military defines general anxiety as a "neurological disorder with psychotic features," which bars entrance to the military. On the medical history questionnaire for the Marines, Prozac, my prescribed anxiety medicine, is listed in the “History of Drug Use” section, along with crack-cocaine, heroin and other illegal street drugs.
What I and I’m sure many ASU members believe is that success doesn’t come from hard work for these minorities but rather from conformity.
As September comes to a close, the managing board recounts some notable numbers.
President Obama announced plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees to — minimally — mitigate the mounting pressure on European nations; as a symbolic gesture, it should suffice. Why should we continue to care?
In choosing to wear that type of costume, in some way, one decides to take on that identity and may even act out that identity. But what does it mean to act like a Japanese, Irish, Mexican, Muslim or Native American person?
At the University, we see our own disturbing trends of voter turnout: in last year’s student elections, only 30.8 percent of the student body voted. That number was five points lower in 2014.
People should not let Pope Francis’ deluge of good PR hide the fact that he hasn’t addressed many key conflicts the Catholic Church is facing.
The fear of wide scale automation isn't set in the distant future — it's already here. According to one study by Oxford University, half of America’s jobs are vulnerable to being replaced in the next 20 years.
This week, The Cavalier Daily should have fulfilled its own demand for honest and robust interrogation of the rape culture stories and figures we expect to hear. Readers and journalists across the nation have expressed shock at the numbers the AAU report released, but those numbers still fit neatly into the narrative campus activists and the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights have been hammering for years.
Would we rather not proceed with caution at our nation's schools? It is intuitive that students should not be encouraged to bring suspicious packages into their classrooms, especially without any sort of screening by their teachers or administrators.
Essentially, schools are trapped in this system (though Reed, Diver argues, has thrived through its withdrawal from the U.S. News process). And at our University, which, in all likelihood, won’t withdraw itself from rankings any time soon, we have to navigate the desire to raise rankings and simultaneously not let them guide important decisions.
Although admittedly I think Stephen Colbert will be an incredibly funny yet genuinely compassionate host of “The Late Show,” his selection reflects a broader hesitation of networks to stick with what’s worked in the past.
The very fact that students leave games early when defeat seems imminent is in and of itself an unproductive habit. It demonstrates a lack of regard for our football team which, on average, spends over 40 hours preparing for game day each week, sacrificing time in order to represent our school as best they can.
Student Council recently discussed the possibility of making Grounds smoke-free. To do so would be a massive infringement on personal rights and liberties.
