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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
TO THE EDITOR: A question regarding Confederate Memorials
As a fan of doing crossword puzzles in ink, I am saddened enough by your reduced publication schedule. I empathize.
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.
The Department of Chemistry is proud to have a dedicated group of faculty who have led the way in reforming undergraduate instruction in chemistry.
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.
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.
TO THE EDITOR: Recent catastrophic events around the world tragically illustrate how quickly the ground beneath our feet can change forever.
TO THE EDITOR: The Sept. 19 column “Removing all statues? Not so fast” demonstrates historical ignorance and an alarming lack of moral scrutiny.
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
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.
TO THE EDITOR: Thank you for The Daily Tar Heel. It truly is Chapel Hill’s only newspaper these days. Your love letter to the P2P is well deserved. That we can afford to give free bus service is still a marvelous thing to me. I help pay for it by my taxes, even though I have used it only twice in my lifetime. The day may come. That’s an opinion, but not the main reason I write.
As a former editorial board member, I was taken aback by the recent "The Institute of Politics is more than just a 'resume booster." The piece is fluff, little more than an advertisement.
