Fifty years ago, the infamous then-President Richard Nixon signed into law what is today known as Title IX, leading to a 545% increase in women’s collegiate sports participation since its inception. The only problem? Hardly any of us have noticed.
At the time of writing this, I’m only a week into my sophomore year, but I have made a full one-eighty from last year in terms of feeling comfortable on campus. You just have to give it time and “trust the process.”
If I ordered Nut Butter & Banana Toast ($11) and a Reboot Juice ($10.45), my breakfast would cost just as much as I make in a shift at my on-campus job — over $20 alone for just toast and juice.
The sticky, warm air of the DC Metropolitan area has always been a haven for the precious Lampyridae, commonly known as fireflies, lightning bugs, glowworms or moonbugs (even though they are technically beetles).
For a large part of the campus here in Oxford, much of the past is filled with memories of Daniela DiSanto. Unfortunately, Daniela passed away shortly before her sophomore year.
If you’re going to have vegetarian options on your menus, you’d better have the food to serve them to hungry vegetarians on your campus.
By the way, the deadline to change a class to credit/no credit is today, in case that, you know, matters.
“If you’re craving sweets all the time, then you’re not giving yourself enough love,” the woman said. Her words changed my life.
We’re asking Miami to focus on a more holistic approach with sexual assault issues on- and off-campus — prevention, follow-through, punishment and communication are all integral to this process.
The Miami administration are trying their very hardest to wish away COVID — to simply manifest that it no longer affects college life. Unfortunately, COVID and its variants (especially the new, more antibody-resistant ones like BA.5) just don’t work like that.
A union contract will enable a more collaborative, transparent and mutually responsive relationship between faculty and the administration. Tell Miami leadership to LET US VOTE.
Hey Miami – Whether it's your freshman year, your senior year or anything in between, welcome to the school year.
I always hated summer. That might not sound like most children, for whom I generally consider summers to filled with rays of sunshine, friendship, dips in the pool, freedom and laughter.
I'm halfway through college and my life at school feels more like my life "back home." Go figure.
"Sexual assaults devastate students’ lives despite implemented training and reporting systems. My suspicion of Miami’s effort to end rape culture at the university grew to anger throughout my time at Miami. Every sexual assault report email added gas to the fire inside my chest. My eyes burned every time I heard a friend share their story..."
We steadfastly believe that change must be systemic, transformative and ongoing for students to learn, grow, thrive and experience belonging in our community. While Miami has taken significant steps to make changes, work remains to be done.
We’re not lost — if anything, we’re found. The restrictions of the pandemic gave us the time to slow down. Although we felt alone, we weren’t. We were given time completely to ourselves, our deepest thoughts and the people, plants and animals around us.
An end to women’s autonomy and access to abortion care (which is, not surprisingly, quickly snowballing into limiting access to contraceptives) is an end to economic and social power for the U.S. states racing to enact abortion bans. Ohio can be used as a prime example.
I’ve been saying yes to everything that came my way, even after claiming last semester that I’d recognized my limits. But I hadn’t been saying yes to taking care of myself. I can do everything if I want, but when am I going to give myself a break?
