The Editorial Board has outlined the many problems plaguing Greek organizations at UNC and across the nation: classism, racism and sexual assault are among the most severe of these issues.
Student body president candidates Lamar Richards and Keshav Javvadi had their final debate Monday — the night before the 2021 student government elections.
The Editorial Board is endorsing Lamar Richards for student body president.
Keshav Javvadi is a junior and the current speaker of the Undergraduate Senate. As speaker, he leads the legislative branch of student government.
Lamar Richards, a UNC sophomore, is one of two candidates running for student body president for the 2021-2022 school year. A member of the Undergraduate Senate, Richards currently serves as the chairperson of the Commission on Campus Equality & Student Equity.

Nothing is as unique or as distinct as the role of Greek life on college campuses.
After a four-year lawsuit and a petition to have its verdict reviewed, the case advocating the release of UNC’s records of sexual assault has come to a close.
Members of the Campus Safety Commission met Wednesday to discuss the recent riots at the U.S. Capitol, revisions to the commission constitution and updates on various subcommittees.

You never think it could happen to you, until it does.
The reaction I got from most people when they heard I started working at my college paper was cutesy, if not dismissive.
Editor's note: This story includes references to sexual assault.
Two years after the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights found UNC in violation of Title IX, the office’s monitoring program of the University has closed.

Over Labor Day weekend, a fight erupted on the pool deck of our apartment complex. As their friends attempted to separate them, two drunken college men violently beat at each other for several minutes, one of them succeeding in knocking the other unconscious. Though we were concerned for the well-being of both students, calling the police barely crossed our minds — the student winning the fight was Black. Knowing the potential ramifications of involving an armed officer, we feared a more dangerous outcome than the fight that was already occurring, and did nothing instead.
Last week, UNC asked faculty to pause instruction on Friday, Oct. 9 in observance of World Mental Health Day, “creating a three-day weekend and allowing time for self-care.”
Administrators at UNC have told employees to brace themselves for large budget cuts. Given their numbers and high salaries, the cutting should begin, and perhaps end, with the administrators. Chancellors' salaries tend to get all the attention, and Kevin Guskiewicz's $620,000 per year is indeed impressive. His immediate subordinate, the provost, doesn't do too badly either, at $493,182. Still, the University also has 28 vice chancellors of different ranks, with an average salary of $253,393. They include a vice chancellor and associate vice chancellor for "University communications." Together, they bring in over $549,000 per year. Their offices did not exist before 2013. Yet, the University's ability to communicate to the public has hardly improved since 2013. Recall: the academic-athletic scandal; the sexual assault scandal, including the coverup of the U.S. Department of Education's report on UNC's multiple Clery Act violations; the illegal $2.5 million payoff to the Sons of Confederate Veterans; the campus reopening disaster. The millions of dollars in salaries paid to these two experts since 2013 yielded little. Let's not forget the 12 sub-provosts. Average salary? $231,591. Some of them perform vital services. But what does the associate provost for "strategy and special projects" do for nearly $200,000? Or the official who is now being paid $270,000 to establish "the University's vision and unified strategy for a future-directed, sustainable digital learning institutional environment?" To provide perspective, I reviewed the salaries of endowed professors (highly accomplished and highly paid) in three departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. The average annual salary for the 11 physics and astronomy superstars? $166,657. The four distinguished professors in philosophy? $200,412. Their peers in religious studies? $163,497. (The non-chaired faculty in these and other departments make far less.) Faculty with named professorships have decades of experience, copious publication records, book prizes, research grants and many graduate students. They symbolize what higher education is supposed to be about. Yet their salaries, on average, are not quite on par with those in the Office of the Provost. UNC has 127 deans of various ranks, many with salaries in the $200,000 to $500,000 range. And how about the 811 directors, associate directors and assistant directors? Some of their salaries are modest, and others perform "director" services as part of their faculty appointments.
UNC has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review the ruling that ordered it to release sexual assault records, following a four-year lawsuit. The University cited the safety and well-being of students as reasons the ruling should be reviewed.
