Marie Henein shouldn’t be shut out from university campuses for playing her part in a judicial system with a rape culture problem.

Our interest often wrongly stems from a romanticizing of prisons with little genuine regard for inmates and their personal lives and experiences.

Lumping everyone together doesn’t ensure an equal education.

Our deteriorating ability to read the news is more than a generational shortcoming — it’s worth a larger and closer look at how we all evaluate information, millennial or not.

Free admission to Canada’s national parks is a step in the right direction, but still a walk in the dark.

The actions following the insensitive tip jars at Clark Hall were reasonable and quick — it’s just disappointing that these actions were needed in the first place.

The labour strike at the University of Manitoba may seem a few provinces away, but over-enrolment, pressures on professors and suffering student experiences are problems that exist in our own backyard.

Financial literacy belongs in high school curriculums, the only questions are when and how.

Imagine a group of people who are demographically similar, believing they’re better than other people. What could possibly go wrong? When I accepted my offer of admission to Queen’s, I chose the school that, with its limestone towers, persuaded me I wanted it more than it needed me. Perhaps its very indifference convinced me of its superiority. 

Queen’s Vagabond’s artistic choice left students of colour in the dark and it’s a decision that can’t be ignored. Student theatre company Queen’s Vagabond released a statement last week announcing the suspension of their production of Shakespeare’s Othello. The decision follows a torrent of backlash directed at the production team’s choice to cast a white woman as the canonically black, male protagonist. It’s a terrible shame that members of the cast felt threatened and unsafe as a result of the production. What the production stirred up though, can’t just be ignored. 

There are many truths about living in a small town — McDonald’s is far away, I never lock my house, Domino’s doesn’t deliver and nobody ever knows where I’m from. But some myths about living in the country that impact the way people think about me are outdated, unfounded and need to go. 

There are many factors that feed into food insecurity on our campuses — but when it comes to solving the issue, the hunger will only be satisfied if someone takes the first bite.

Quick-fix hangover cures only distract from learning how to develop healthy drinking habits.

Adding sports scholarships doesn’t guarantee our athletes will stay, and it may spark a cultural shift we’ll regret.

Making campus smoke-free would alienate students who smoke, when what they really need is support and acceptance to help them quit.

Leaving offensive costumes at the door protects other students, but not explaining why may be a missed opportunity.

When I was a child, I was “solemn.” When I was a teenager, I was “temperamental.” After my second year of university, I was diagnosed with depression.Using coded language to discuss mental illness does more harm than good. Initially, it may have been a comfort for those around me to use vague and inoffensive language to lighten the tone of a weighty subject — but lightening it doesn’t do it justice. 

The CBC is stepping into territory that isn’t theirs to claim.

It’s easy to publicly condemn something once you’ve been caught doing it — but uOttawa’s Science Students’ Association (SSA) shouldn’t have needed such a public wakeup call.
