"That’s right, folks — that succulent on your windowsill might outlast the current UNC faculty. Hell, even Chad from Theta Apple Pi would probably last longer than the UNC administration."
"The University shouldn’t be surprised if students object when the new chancellor is named — especially since students were barely given a say in the first place. It’s a simple fix, really: just give students more of a say and it’ll make life easier for us all."
"The governor made a mistake in approving the first pipeline, which was made more clear when his administration disapproved of the second. Let’s hope he recognizes his mistake, listens to activists and changes his mind for the environmental future of North Carolina. We don't want the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in our state."
The potential for inequity is immeasurable, but at least we can remain assured that our names are equally worth a hefty 47 cents each.
"In the wake of the recent "OK, Boomer" meme storm that has torn through the internet, some publications have adopted an overly-serious tone in deconstructing the importance of 'constructive intergenerational dialogue.'"
Students, faculty and members of the community should visit this exhibit to get a deeper understanding of what "Cash Crop!" represents, and experience the power of the statues first-hand.
We’re tired of writing different versions of the same editorial, begging UNC to recognize the humanity of its marginalized students. At this point, it feels like we’re just screaming into the void. But more importantly, we know students of color are tired of living it.
The indecisive nature of the state leaders, combined with an unclear future for Medicaid and health care, has led North Carolina to be ninth in the nation for the highest rate of uninsured residents.
"It is up to us, those in the present day, to keep ourselves informed about the terrible events that occurred in Wilmington in November 1898, so that we can ensure that they never happen again."
That said, the status quo of police violence targeted at low-income and minority New Yorkers must begin its transition toward being fare-free, perhaps using Chapel Hill as a scalable model.
Facebook maintains a hands-off, free-speech-oriented approach to regulating political ads even as advertisers use personal data to target users.
A better transit system will allow Chapel Hill to continue to develop as a town and improve the quality of life. BRT is the best solution we have to do it. Get it done.
In our opinion, expecting the University to do as much as possible to make sure we don’t get sexually assaulted is not too much to ask. Nor is it too much to expect that our experiences are validated and investigated fairly.
"All of the candidates running have diverse qualifications and ideas, and we feel encouraged by the quality of all of the candidates running to serve the town of Chapel Hill."
On Oct. 31, the right to revoke consent was approved unanimously by the General Assembly as part of Senate Bill 199; a bill intended to “strengthen and modernize” sexual assault laws in North Carolina.
In a world that so often disparages young Black kids, we should be doing everything we can to remind them of their worth. These classes would have been one way to do that.
"So, to the powers that be at UNC: when faced with so many controversial issues, why not do something easy that would unquestionably benefit the student body, and give us bus passes, yeah?"
"After interviewing all of the candidates for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education, we were blown away by the quality, values and experience that each candidate brought to the table. There are four seats available, so we encourage you to vote based upon whose values align most-closely with your own. Overall, we believe that any of these five would make excellent members of the School Board."
The Daily Tar Heel's Editorial Board provides it's endorsements for the 2019 Chapel Hill mayoral election.
"In the spirit of the season, we thought we’d consult the stars once again to help you find that last-minute costume."
