Opinion

Last year’s rent

Not paying rent cannot necessarily be categorized as theft without consideration of all the circumstances of the relationship between the landlord and the tenant.


Opinion

PATEL: The importance of COLA

COLA classes also provide the opportunity for weekly, direct communication with academic advisors because the professor in charge of the COLA is also the academic advisor for everyone in that class.


Opinion

Without a home

If having permanent housing will improve health, the homeless who are given apartments would be more likely to get back to work, and will eventually not need their rents subsidized.


Opinion

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

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.
