conversation
We need to see the other side of the table
Education happens through conversation. I believe that when it comes to antisemitism and anti-Israel language on campus, it’s a discussion that needs to be had, not a lecture.

Obituaries
In Memoriam: Miguel Rodriguez
After the news of former Sports Editor Miguel Rodriguez’s passing, the Campus Times received multiple submissions from his former co-editors in his memory.

procrastination
