Behind the scenes of the COVID-19 pandemic, two campaigns are vying for control of the IU Student Government. Both groups, Defy and Inspire, propagate progressive plans to mobilize IUSG. However, I fear that a structurally dysfunctional IUSG will maintain the status quo.

In his Feb. 9 column, “What has impeachment achieved?”, columnist Brett Abbott asks captivating questions about Congressional Democrats’ attempt to remove President Trump from office.

Jaclyn Ferguson would have us believe Google is hypocritical in simultaneously promoting Black History Month while not hiring enough black employees (Google’s Black History Month advertising is hypocritical, IDS Opinions, February 6). It would appear that Ms. Ferguson is comparing apples and oranges in her argument.
Not every day do Americans check their phones with notifications of a final impeachment vote on a modern American president, but then not every day does a sitting U.S. Senator vote to remove a president of his or her own party either. Until yesterday.
