Respect is not simply given — it must be earned. It’s a two-way street. And according to Editorial Board, only an investigation into UNC police and the University taking accountability can provide that respect to students.
"The North Carolina Republican Party’s ongoing efforts to strip marginalized communities of their rights is seemingly never-ending — and, quite frankly, it’s getting old."
"The design of the monument invites disrespect through its accessibility and inherent purpose of serving the public. When people use it as a place to sit and eat, it is almost as though the founders are once more doing a service to the community’s more privileged members."
"All we want is to be able to step outside without feeling like we’ve stepped into a Coldplay song. Everything is yellow. Especially the sidewalks – we ought to just start calling them the yellow brick road."
We however should also be thankful not only for what and who are visible in disaster response, but what and who are invisible as well.
"The administration’s complicity in this hatred is exactly why it continues to occur so frequently."
The arts are already a part of Carolina's community, but they aren't heavily invested in. Editorial Board shares why the Arts Everywhere initiative and day is not a solution to the larger arts problems at hand.
Cutthroat, win-it-all coaches shouldn’t have a place here. After all, we’re supposed to be a Carolina family.
Given the regularity with which Confederate groups come to UNC’s campus — even armed sometimes — and the fact that one of their ranks is alleged to have committed this crime, it seems surprising that the University is not on more of a high alert in regards to the Unsung Founders Memorial.
Editorial Board's Ramishah Maruf praises most of the new changes to the journalism holy-text, the AP Stylebook, but not 100 percent of them.
All you have to do is take a long look in the mirror and realize that, no matter how high the dunk, no matter how smart the play, D00k blue never looked good on anyone.
To the Editorial Board, it was no real surprise that the Unsung Founders Memorial was vandalized and it was even less of a surprise that UNC hasn't paid any attention to it until now.
With the University and UNC system without definitive leadership, The Daily Tar Heel editorial board has a Mary Poppins inspired message for the Board of Governors.
After a several weeks-long investigation, DTH reporters were able to get their hands on some of the texts Smith sent to Spellings last year. Here is a sample of the messages that drove Spellings out of UNC.
The Board of Governors plans to erect a sister statue, to be named Silent Samantha, in the spot on McCorkle Place where Silent Sam once stood.
It seems remarkably anti-American to subject young men and women to a situation where they are unable to profit from the fruits of their labor.
The Board of Governors clearly valued politics and power more than preserving what has historically been a progressive, forward-thinking University.
"It reminds us of a conversation we had at a meeting soon after Folt announced her resignation. Great, a member said. Now the history books are going to say Folt took down Silent Sam with her own two hands."
"If only UNC Police were as forgiving to student activists as they are to white supremacists."
Parking in Chapel Hill is already the worst. Please don’t make it the WORST.
