As I reflect on the 20 years since the Sept. 11 attack on our nation, I am struck by how many reading this brief missive were not yet born or have no memory of this terrible tragedy. For those who vividly remember, the day had an unparalleled impact on each of us. However, we must also acknowledge the impact this event inadvertently had on our current students when our country's trajectory was changed. We all share in the need to honor those who lost their lives, and we collectively remain grateful for the volunteers, the first responders and our armed forces who met the tragic moment with unwavering service to our country.

If you’re a first-year student at IU this fall, you probably weren’t yet born that tragic Tuesday morning twenty years ago. Some current IU students were toddlers at the time.

In one way, 9/11 and this weekend’s 20th anniversary of it serve to bookend your childhood. At the same time, Saturday’s commemoration can offer an opportunity for profound reflection on the path ahead.

Derek Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, manslaughter and third-degree murder of George Floyd last week. This news sparked a lot of satisfaction across the country. The verdict is a big win for Black America, which means it is a win for all of America. The verdict however, is not justice. It is accountability.

With respect to the article “OPINION: City council amendment easing homeless shelter restrictions is a good first step” written by Molly Hayes, I agree with her position that she still feels there’s room for improvement in relation to how Bloomington as a city treats our homeless population.

I frequently read the Indiana Daily Student online. While I find many of the articles either informative or uninteresting to me, I enjoy the opportunity to “re-visit” with a virtual visit to my alma mater. I follow the struggle to keep the paper financially viable and wish it well.

As IU has announced, the 2021-22 academic year will be in-person. As exciting as that sounds, COVID-19 is still rampant around the world. So far, there are no finalized health and safety precautions that IU has announced.

For the academic year 2021-22, IU is welcoming students back to campus in person once more. However, while discussing the academic calendar, leaders at IU have decided that fall break is not necessary, and for now spring break remains undecided.

It is clear the discussions about the 2021 Little 500’s timing focused on the parties IU wanted to avoid — especially during a pandemic. It was reasonable and warranted for them to do so. However, it is clear the Little 500 had no voice in those discussions.

The planetary clock is ticking. With past generations — including the administrators of IU — dancing around the urgency of climate action, our generation must come together to fight for our collective future.

In the March 4 issue of the Indiana Daily Student, a piece was published by Stefan Towes outlining the stunted development of Black music at the hands of copyright law, but the article makes misleading claims about copyright law’s impact.

In a previous guest column to the Indiana Daily Student, I noted — given IU’s continual financial growth in recent years — the demand of the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition to end mandatory and international student fees for all graduate workers is a modest one.
