I’ve been surprised — and, honestly, really disappointed — at the amount of casual dialogue surrounding suicide I’ve heard here at Miami University. Casual dialogue, not in a comfortable conversational way, but in an inconsiderate, joking manner.
In a recent Twitter poll put out by The Miami Student, a clear majority of the 28 voters — 53.6% — agreed that the new “zonal” parking system was not easy to use/understand.
In the 2020 election, on-campus voter turnout was the worst in the county, with an average voter turnout hardly over 20%. The worst precinct was Oxford 11 (Western campus), which had a voter turnout of less than 12%.
If you wouldn’t want your own country to turn a blind eye to human rights, child labor, neglect of the environment, or any other ethical issue of sorts, then why would you buy from a brand that is okay with that?
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.
