Editorial: Black athletes broke boundaries in the 2023 Super Bowl

|

"Even as the sport integrated, the role of the quarterback — the head and face of a team, remains reserved solely for white boys. The powers-that-be of football, still suffering from a social Darwinist hangover, funneled white players into “thinking” positions, and Black players into “moving” ones. This pervasive, racist mythology has infested football, influencing our perception both of sporting positions and the people playing them."

Letter: The necessity of the SCiLL

"More than half of the conservative students at UNC censor themselves during political discussions on campus, according to a survey published in August 2021. This includes me."

Column: An SSRI might not be the solution

"Still, a doctor should spend longer than an hour working with patients before deciding to put someone on these types of drugs. A year of therapy has done more for me than any medication a psychiatrist ever prescribed me. And while my case is not universal, I am also not alone in this experience."

Op-ed: Reflections on one year of war in Ukraine

"A deep, intractable uncertainty has haunted the 365 days that have now passed since the first February 24th . My questions are professional and personal. What use are nuanced histories of a Russia that only confirms the worst stereotypes of its own brutality and thuggishness? How do I process my feelings of betrayal by people whom I know to be better than this?"

Column: Ethical syllabuses don’t guarantee ethical behavior

|

"ProctorEdu reported that even with these policies strictly implemented, 60.8 percent of college students still act dishonestly in their studies, and 95 percent of cheaters don't get caught. It is clear that ethical policies don't always guarantee ethical behaviors. So, who is to blame?"

Column: Esports is a big deal

|

"The future of sports seems to be more immersive than ever before. Don’t be surprised if esports one day makes a debut in the Olympics. Esports is a big deal, paving the way for the future, and it’s here to stay."

Column: Dear UNC Class of 2027

|

"Class of 2027, I would like to be completely transparent with you. I have asked several of my classmates what they wish they would’ve known before they decided to commit to UNC — the good, the bad and the ugly."

Editorial: UNC Ice Hockey is earning well-deserved respect

|

"As UNC Hockey looks forward to building off of the foundation they have constructed this season, whether it be getting more students involved, building an ice rink, or going NCAA DI, the program has begun carving their name into collegiate hockey, earning the respect they deserve."

Column: Avoiding police brutality on social media

|

"Nichols is not the first victim of police brutality whose final moments circulated on social media. While the video brought the case to national attention, galvanizing protests in some parts of the country, seeing police brutality shared on social media is uncomfortable and triggering."

Op-ed: An open letter to Board of Governors from UE 150

"Public university workers across the state of North Carolina are standing up and fighting back. In spite of the fact that North Carolina is one of a handful of states nationwide that bans public sector collective bargaining, workers have been joining together and organizing to further their demands in record numbers."

" There’s nothing more cathartic than channeling your frustrations into a ballad you’re belting in an empty room in the middle of the night. Nothing like getting into the shower and pouring your sadness into a lament for someone’s long-lost love.  Nothing like taking a deep breath and then trying to match Whitney Houston note-for-note to get all that pressure off your chest, making you feel alive again."
