College campuses have become a new political battleground for the right, and educational freedom is under attack. S.B. 117 is poison for higher education.
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.
In the end, it’s up to all of us — students, professors, everyone — to make sure we are getting the most out of our time at Miami together. Next semester is our fresh start.
The Miami Student has consistently been reporting on the race for SBP and the three pairs of candidates. We also feel that it is also important to give our opinion on who we believe will represent the Miami community best.
Don’t make this a war and waste tuition dollars battling a cause that aims to improve the student experience in the long run.
Students are becoming careless about wearing masks inside campus buildings, most professors are allowing students fewer absences, surveillance testing has become optional and Miami University is set on having a “robust” semester.

If you see something, say something – if you don't, it could be a misdemeanor. But it would also make you a contributor to a needless, toxic cycle.
It’s reasonable to be upset by the fact that community leaders are bad-mouthing the student sector of the community, but throwing a tantrum only proves the point they were trying to make.
The Miami Student Editorial Board is calling on university officials to remove the conscientious objection from the vaccine mandate policy.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been fully Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for more than 24 hours, and despite Miami’s COVID-19 website stating the university would be prepared to mandate vaccination once it achieved this status, officials have been silent.
We understand that the markets act as a business, but they are also an essential student service. They should be catering more toward the latter.
Not only was this choice a complete disregard of people’s lived experiences, but it shows that for the Lecture Series, a documented past of sexual harassment is not a nonstarter.
All in all, you have a lot of options for what vaccine to get, when to get it and where to get it. It’s a great problem to have, but it makes educating yourself that much more important.
