German, Russian, Korean, Arabic — these are just a handful of the foreign languages offered at UNC through courses or as entire majors or minors.
Of late, this editorial board has been fairly critical of the Carolina Union Activities Board, and unfortunately our frustration continues.
We are proud. Our North Carolina Tar Heels have had an amazing tournament run, giving this community life.
Yesterday was the best Monday I’ve had in a long time.
UNC is a passionate community that fosters a unique culture of genuine investment in making the world a better place. But even in the parts of this community that are already invested in making change, we’d challenge people to understand genuine change comes from thinking systemically about the issues for which we’re advocating.
As the pollen floods our nostrils this April, there is yet another inescapable assault on our senses: A cappella.
Cherie Berry is practically a celebrity in our state. Anyone who has ridden an elevator has likely noticed her face and name when finding something to stare at during the awkward silences endemic to elevator rides with strangers.
Last week, House Bill 2 was passed in whirlwind fashion. After its passing, we found out why the process was obfuscated heavily; the bill is one of the most uniquely discriminatory bills passed since the civil rights movement. This bill has simultaneously created new avenues for discrimination, infringed on municipalities’ rights to govern and directly harmed North Carolina’s economic growth.
In light of the swift passing of House Bill 2, known as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, the North Carolina legislature has ruled that multiple-use restroom facilities may only be occupied by those of a single “biological sex.”
Last week, “Trump 2016” was chalked in many places across Emory University’s campus. The backlash was swift. Students called for an immediate investigation. Emory administrators responded quickly, saying they would review security footage in order to find the “perpetrators” to then execute disciplinary protocol.
This past week, former U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey delivered a public poem reading and sat on a panel regarding the role of literary arts in campus conversations surrounding race in her capacity as 2016 Frank B. Hanes writer-in-residence.
Transparency in government is the backbone of the democratic process. If the public could not access public records unfettered, standards of accountability would plummet.
My friend was sitting cross-legged on my bedroom floor, bent over her laptop. I was on my bed, with mine in my lap. It was the kind of study date I love, where you both actually do homework with spurts of conversation in between.
We all have heard the story. It was April 15, 1947, in Brooklyn. Jackie Robinson stepped out of the dugout at Ebbets Field, took first base and broke the color barrier of baseball.
On Monday, a reporter asked Margaret Spellings her thoughts on granting in-state tuition for undocumented students. Spellings seemed to hesitate slightly, replying: “I come from a state that that’s been a long standing policy of the state.” Though prefacing that “obviously the Board of Governors and the legislature need to weigh in on this,” she stated, “I’ve seen it be successful in Texas — in a state with many, many miles of borders.”
Bring it, bigots
We are afraid. Afraid of the dark, of unfamiliar people and places. We are taught to fear. Told more often than not that we are vulnerable. Taught that underneath our beds lives a monster. Told by the people who serve and protect us there is an ongoing epidemic of crime, terror and disaster. And when we confront this beast we are met with anger from those who purport to protect us.
This week marks the 13th anniversary of the disastrous U.S. invasion of Iraq, an occasion that has slipped past largely unnoticed, with nary a mention in the national conversation.
This editorial board is often critical of the University in a variety of ways. We make no apologies about this.
Imagine finally heeding those update reminders and updating to the newest operating system, only to find that when you turn your computer back on, it cannot connect to the internet. Later, when you take your computer to the ITS Help Desk, they tell you they must wipe it, and your whole world slowly crumbles around you.
