Student protests have erupted across the breadth and scope of academia over the past several years. These protests have disrupted colleges and universities from Harvard to Yale, from the University of Wisconsin to California State. These protests, orchestrated by students, reflect the full range of groups from athletes to graduate students, from conservatives to progressives, and from students of color to feminists. Students are taking a knee and raising the flag, shouting from the streets and within classrooms. The issues have ranged from gun rights to freedom of speech, from hate speech to protected speech, from national to international politics, from ecology to community, and yes, from DACA to health care, crime and punishment and racial profiling.
We want to thank everyone who participated in the Black State of the Union last Tuesday. It was an important event for many reasons. Mainly, we need more opportunities to speak directly with the administration. We need the administration to be more transparent with the students.

It was the first truly chilly day we'd had in Oxford, and I was taking my favorite winter coat on its first outing of the season.
He was "too weird to live, too rare to die," but live he undeniably did, and death even he couldn't escape. Hunter S. Thompson was the drugged-out, sleep-deprived, counter culture icon America needed in its awkward, adolescent and spirited young adult phase. He's most widely remembered today for his intense originality, unyielding weirdness and humongous appetite for mind-altering substances. But what is so often lost in our retrospective gaze is just how damn fine a writer the man truly was.

One issue that galvanizes both sides of the political spectrum is the inflated cost of attending college. Although the cost of tuition along with room and board is far too high, the costs are a necessity for the vast majority of the student population. The expenditures that cannot be justified are exemplified through the exorbitant fee structure in place at Miami University.
