Ed Observers
farewell
From the editor: On the events of last week, and a farewell
The editorial choice to include the full statements on the posters was not a decision made lightly.
change
The weight of the world
Lately, I’ve really been struggling to reckon with the way things are, but recently, it’s been weighing on me harder than usual.
art
Art’s role in fostering conversations
We can appreciate art as a catalyst for dialogue and a medium for meaningful expression in an ever-evolving cultural landscape.
2024 Presidential Election
Weighing in the war in Gaza for this year’s presidential election
What are each candidate’s views on the conflicts in the Middle East, and how will they be dealing with the issue when becoming president?
College Democrats
The children will not save us
The debate was no more well attended than last year, and no more inspiring.
employment
You shouldn’t need a network to get work
As I wiggle my way into society, it seems like every opportunity depends on who you know, rather than what you know.
Dick Cheney
Blindspots: Dick Cheney is still a war criminal
The Iraq war was a mistake, which killed almost a million people, and the people who zealously ginned the U.S. into that conflict should be made into pariahs, not platformed and commended by presidential contenders.
independence
Nobody is coming to save you.
At the end of the day, you have to realize that you are responsible for your own life and outcomes. Nobody is coming to save you. You have to learn to save yourself.
embarrassment
People are going to remember, and it’s all right
I stick to my belief that people do remember, and maybe sometimes, it is that deep. Some people do remember when you make that mistake.
add/drop
Add/drop that (cl)ass
If UR wants to keep a month-long add/drop period, there needs to be a more streamlined process of providing support for students trying to add new courses.
