Letter: Meantime responds to last week's letter
Andrew Clark’s claim that The Meantime has seen an increase in profits due to the Boycott UNC movement is both speculative and untrue.
LETTERS
Letter: Unpaid internships are unjust internships
Unpaid internships are an abuse of power. When any worker contributes more to an employer than the employer invests in the worker, the employer decides how to divide that profit.
Letter: Meantime's silence to UNC boycott
The Meantime Coffee Co. has displayed an inadequate response to the Board of Governors’ litigation ban and the university’s decision to not remove Silent Sam while enjoying increased profits from the UNC boycott.
Letter: On reconciliation and breaking down barriers
Living with random roommates at UNC, I’ve filled journals describing my many living spaces. None of the entries though, are as curious as this year’s.
DTH is silent on intolerance against SJP
Today, several posters calling us (SJP) terrorists were hung up around campus (I have pictures of them). As an Arab and a Muslim, I constantly have to deal with this kind of blatant bigotry and stereotyping on and off campus, and have yet to see any coverage about it on any kind of media outlet in Chapel Hill after the shooting of the 3 Muslim students in 2015.
DTH, please change your website
Five of us are UNC alums. Our marketing team was looking into the possibility of buying ad space in the DTH a few days ago as part of an effort to recruit UNC pre-med students for our programs. But I’ve got some bad news. We didn’t. And we won’t. Why? Because your website looks like it was designed by a three-year-old on a sugar high. It’s really bad.
Art Pope's racist history with UNC
In January 1975, a campus organization called the Union Forum used student fees to bring the National Information Director of the KKK to campus. His name was David Duke. Black students at the time were outraged.
Should Vietnam War memorials go, too?
TO THE EDITOR: A question regarding Confederate Memorials
The puzzling case of the DTH crossword
As a fan of doing crossword puzzles in ink, I am saddened enough by your reduced publication schedule. I empathize.
Guest Op-Ed: Reflections on a Confederate rally in Chapel Hill
I thought of my father on Oct. 24, 2015 when I was attending a counter protest to a pro-confederate rally at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Explore the chemistry department's resources
The Department of Chemistry is proud to have a dedicated group of faculty who have led the way in reforming undergraduate instruction in chemistry.
There are better ways to remember history
TO THE EDITOR: I write to offer insights on the crisis our campus is facing regarding the Silent Sam monument, from a comparative cultural context and issue: the erasure, and commemoration, of the oppression of Jews in Eastern Europe.
Abortion is still not guaranteed
Thursday September 28 is International Safe Abortion Day. It is important to remember that abortion has not always been safe or legal in this country, even now, access to abortion is being circumvented by legislative action and continued stigma: with some states having only one abortion clinic.
Letter: We need to invest in geological sciences
TO THE EDITOR: Recent catastrophic events around the world tragically illustrate how quickly the ground beneath our feet can change forever.
Letter: DTH column displayed ignorance on Silent Sam
TO THE EDITOR: The Sept. 19 column “Removing all statues? Not so fast” demonstrates historical ignorance and an alarming lack of moral scrutiny.
Letter: DTH mischaracterized DACA letter
Thank you for covering the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) event held Monday evening in the article “UNC students united and outraged over DACA announcement.”
Letter: Safes spaces do not exist with Silent Sam
TO THE EDITOR: Brian Meares’ notion that Silent Sam promotes a space for “free and open discussion” is a baffling interpretation of this University’s hazardous idealism on “safe spaces.”
Letter: "Not my liberals" demonizes the left
TO THE EDITOR: The Aug. 29 opinion piece "Not My Liberals" shows a lack of empathy, hypocritical reasoning, and a poor understanding of leftist thought.
Letter: Amy Fowler will run for Board of Education
Dear UNC Community, I wanted to announce my candidacy for Chapel Hill Carrboro School Board. I have served local children as a pediatrician, parent volunteer, and leader of the local Orange Chatham Chapter of the Autism Society of North Carolina and of the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Special Needs Advisory Committee.
Op-Ed: But have you ever talked to a Venezuelan, Claude?
TO THE EDITOR: Venezuela has fallen victim to a fascist government stemming from rampant nepotism and misinterpreted, cherry-picked ideas of socialism. Claude Wilson’s Sept. 12 column is, at best, a misguided and ethnocentric oversimplification of the economic, political, social and cultural problems that have been steeping in Venezuela for over 20 years, even before the rise of Chavismo. I know this because I grew up there.
