As we enter the final week of the spring semester, another class of seniors is beginning to wistfully reflect on UNC. As pictures of the Old Well, Bell Tower and South Building fill campus social media feed they feed a certain kind of UNC mythology, UNC as an avatar for public higher education.

In the past I have proposed that one of my cats, Ariel, be named to the Board of Governors. I worry that my plea might have been mistaken for jest because I have yet to hear back from any relevant authorities. If anyone reading this column represents the board please reach out because I am still interested, as is Ariel.

Today is my last day as a co-president of the Campus Y, and as such I’ve decided to write at least one column that fully embraces the conflict of interest my position might represent while I still have it. It’s garishly self-indulgent to write a newspaper column about the end of a one-year student leadership position. That anyone would be so brazen is shocking, and that I’m that anyone should be mortifying. Nonetheless I make no apologies for my litany of sins against taste, and I can only promise that if you read this column it will be as vulgarly self-important and overlong as you assume.

I wake up the same way almost every morning. One or both of two cats bangs on my door until I open it. I don’t know why they do this, and I deeply resent it. Of two cats, one, Ariel, is particularly adept at so thunderously hitting my door that he becomes impossible to ignore. This is only one of his many flaws.

The North Carolina General Assembly has been contemplating resetting all judicial terms in 2018 and requiring new elections every two years. Some have posited that this is an effort to continue the partisan polarization of justice, forcing judges to constantly campaign, while others have posited that this is the first move in a longer plot to make all justices appointed by the hyper-partisan, far-right GA.

On Friday, the NCAA finally handed down a ruling on UNC’s paper classes. Despite speculation to the contrary, no titles were vacated, no post-season ban was levied and no scholarship limitations were placed. For all intents and purposes, UNC got off scot-free from one of the biggest athletic scandals of the last 20 years.

In many ways this has been a dispiriting semester for the UNC community. Despite the violence and murder in Charlottesville, as close a proxy to Chapel Hill as exists, Silent Sam still stands.

It is currently scheduled to last until Oct. 18, and will include UNC Student Stores as well as the Pit Stop, bottom of Lenoir Dining Hall, Alpine Bagel, Wendy’s, Starbucks and Blue Ram Café.

Two weeks ago it seemed that North Carolina might be able to play a pivotal role in preventing the dismantling of public education. Senators Thom Tillis and Richard Burr were both considered possible swing votes in the confirmation of Betsy DeVos, and people in the state mobilized to show their displeasure with an underqualified Secretary of Education.
