OPINION: Our political institutions are dying. We can’t count on them to solve our era’s biggest problems
(11/06/20 12:02am)
Election Day has come and gone. As we wait for results, we should reflect on what this election won’t decide for us. It will not offer solutions to the political predicaments in which progressives find themselves. Neither former Vice President Joe Biden nor President Donald Trump has offered ethical ways to contend with anti-Black police violence, climate catastrophe, immigration or health care.

(10/25/20 10:38pm)

OPINION: Freeze the fees: how IU’s student fees nickel and dime us to oblivion
(10/15/20 9:24pm)
Check your bursar bill — notice anything different? Perhaps you’ll discover the normal melody of mandatory fees has been combined into one lump sum. Or maybe you’ll see an unexpected charge you weren’t aware of. Sometimes you’ll find a fee with no other explanation than “supporting ongoing costs for students.”

OPINION: IU’s graduate workers are treated abysmally. It’s time to pay them a living wage.
(09/28/20 2:14am)
Graduate students are the critical components of a well-functioning university. Not only do they pursue challenging degrees, but they teach undergraduates, grade papers and conduct vital research. Despite this laboring work, graduate workers are paid abysmal wages. In our bicentennial year, we should honor IU’s dedication to academia by paying graduate workers a living wage.
OPINION: ICE's forced sterilizations are as American as apple pie
(09/24/20 12:46am)
A recent whistleblower complaint alleged immigrant detainees underwent hysterectomies, a kind of sterilization where the uterus is removed, without consent while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at a private detention center in Georgia. Dawn Wooten, a nurse at the facility, filed the complaint which also addressed fabricated detainee medical records and deplorable COVID-19 procedures. ICE’s abhorrent misconduct is evidence the eugenics movement is still brewing in the United States.

(09/18/20 1:25am)
Three years ago Wednesday, a young LGBTQ+ person, anti-fascist and president of the Pride Alliance at the Georgia Institute of Technology was having a mental health crisis. We would not know this, and Scout Schultz might still be alive, had police officers not approached Schultz outside a dormitory. In a matter of minutes, Georgia Tech police officer Tyler Beck shot and killed Schultz from a distance. Beck claimed the closed multipurpose tool in Schultz’s possession was a threat to the officer’s safety.
OPINION: IU President Michael McRobbie ignored student needs. It will cost him his legacy.
(09/14/20 1:37pm)
Last month, President Michael McRobbie announced his retirement, concluding his decades-long service to IU. He held key administrative roles, working his way up from the vice president of information technology in 1997 to university president in 2006. While McRobbie is hailed as a harbinger of technological innovation and international recognition, his tenure represents a history of empty promises and priorities that ignored a decaying campus life.
