Instilled in our hearts is an undying American spirit, based on a love for and commitment to our citizens and our country. Of the people, by the people, for the people. That’s our light at the end of the tunnel. That’s what we choose to believe in. That’s what we hope you carry with you, today and on all days.

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.
