I am not put off by the idea that the fourth years will be graduating in less than eight months. Graduation, in my opinion, is coming at the proper time.
The myth of unbiased reporting is absurd. It represents an ideal, one that papers supposedly unaffiliated with partisan views must strive to maintain.
Correlation does not mean causation. But in light of the high proportion of Board members who gave to the governors who appointed them, the claim that political contributions have absolutely nothing to do with Board appointments is tough to swallow.
The fact of the matter is that when you graduate high school, you don’t automatically leave it behind; you still cling to its social structure and hierarchy, because that’s what you’re familiar with.
I suggest that in order for a health- or safety-related CIO to maximize its effectiveness, it should pair scientifically backed information with activities that directly engage the group with the student population.
I understand that it can be saddening to see people in dirty clothes sitting on the sidewalk, and I understand how bad we feel as privileged students to not always have money on us to give to them. But is avoiding eye contact really going to help?
Even if you like me as a person, you’ve probably never seen me sitting at my laptop at midnight, sobbing over the latest episode of “Parenthood.” It’s not pretty.

The disparity between how much energy the University invests in first-year housing and how much energy it invests in upper-class housing is undesirably large.
We can see that administrators are attempting to refashion the way the University understands itself. The school wants to be a public global university: which is not a contradiction in terms, but not a fully coherent concept either.
As it currently stands, the University can and does find ways to woo top talent. But give one class of competitor the ability to sweeten the pie with monthly paychecks and no recruit will settle for a Cavalier jersey until he’s exhausted every option to play-for-pay.
Two weeks after Tina Fey talked about the importance of the arts in education, I held improv comedy callbacks in my living room.
If the University wishes to frame itself as a globally conscious school, it must not neglect Africa.
The voting booth is not our sanctuary. Pope Francis’ recent comments touch on this aspect of our faith. We do not need to condone homosexuality in order to recognize that in a pluralistic society gay people should be allowed to live their lives as they see fit.
I don’t think we can maintain our integrity as an institution of learning modeled after Jeffersonian ideals without restoring grant aid — even if it means cutting the budget of something like football.
The conventional wisdom that a college’s campus consists of above-ground buildings still holds for the University. For some schools in Singapore, however, this may not be the case for much longer
One can be outraged by the Republicans’ new plan of action without even having an opinion on whether the Affordable Care Act is good or devastating for the country.
Higher education is slowly becoming out of reach for low-income families.
The question of who is responsible for workplace preparation — firms, schools or students — is important because the question of responsibility is, implicitly, a question of cost. It takes time and money to turn students into workers.
Identity, culture, memory, emotion, reasoning, communication and premeditated cooperation — all characteristics we thought made us unique — exist underwater, too.
