College students represent a crucial voting demographic this election cycle, and the editorial board believes it is imperative that students use their voice.
The beginning of every new year is a time for New Year’s resolutions. It’s a time for people to think ahead and find ways to make their lives better, by being hopeful and optimistic about the future. In that spirit, The Miami Student editorial board has compiled a list of changes and improvements we hope to see implemented both by Miami University’s administration and by its student community throughout 2024.
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.
S.B. 83 aims to eliminate bias in higher education classrooms. Its effect will be quite the opposite.
The Student recognizes its important role in both covering the election and endorsing a candidate and does not make the decision lightly. In The Student staff meetings on Sunday, March 5, our staff met with Nyah Smith (SBP) and Jules Jefferson (VP) as well as Cameron Tiefenthaler (SBP) and Grace Payne (VP).
The Miami Student's editorial board believes we need to change our coverage for the better when it comes to diversity on campus and in Oxford.
It has come time for Miami to be a great deal better when it comes to the handling of staff and faculty concerns.
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.
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.
In our last editorial, we asked the administration to make these decisions with extreme care and consideration. This feels rushed and inconsiderate.
Miami University is the largest employer in Butler county, and because of that, this decision will set a precedent for COVID culture throughout the region.
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.
