Column: The dominant factor in UNC's affirmative action policy
Underrepresented students who have a viable claim to a discrimination suit are the only ones with standing to benefit from affirmative action under the racial justice rubric. The law can’t recognize an unquantifiable concept like institutional racism. The only real question is whether administrators at UNC allowed their ideology to cloud their understanding of law and the Constitution.
Column: Cure toxic masculinity by going vegan?
Recently, PETA falsely claimed that toxic masculinity could be ended by going vegan and that male vegetarians last longer in bed.

Maybe senior year is far more about confronting grief than sparking joy. Maybe letting go does not require abandoning sentimentality. Maybe the most sentimental thing we can do is let go.
Column: Close 'open secrets'
The entertainment industry has been complicit in its lack of reporting sexual abusers, and the situation with R. Kelly is no exception.
Column: My RA was unjustly fired
My RA was one of my closest friends on campus. UNC feels like less of a home for me without him on my floor. I believed in UNC’s commitment to my First-Year Experience, an experience that my RA was essential to creating and one that the administration actively damaged by removing him, especially in such a drawn-out, confusing way.

Column: “Political Science” or “Politicizing Science”?
