Gone to Carolina
Admission tours leave out so much context. They should say: “Welcome! See all these buildings? If they were not built by slaves, they were probably named after racists. Why don’t we rename them? We cannot. Be sure to buy some swag before you leave! UNC sandals are better than talking about academic scandals.”
Winning the title
With yesterday being our Gender Issue from our fabulous investigations team, one title came up a few times. Title IX is a great piece of legislation. It has been used to promote equitable gender policy on campus, combat sexual assault and fight against House Bill 2. We should all be thankful to have it.
None for you
The weather is nice, the sun is out and the stress of the semester is keeping you from enjoying any of it. Want to go for a walk? You have a history paper due. Want to eat ice cream on the quad? Your biology research presentation is tomorrow. This is the stuff they don’t tell you before going to college.

Actually pay them
While we find enjoyment and appreciate the Rammys, wouldn’t it be better to, you know, actually pay athletes or give them more tangible benefits? Sure, an awards show is a nice and fun way to honor athletes, but it does nothing to actually solve the plantation system that is college athletics.
