Racism in broad daylight

Last week, a female Queen’s professor reported being assaulted on campus by four male students wearing engineering jackets. The incident occurred on Nov. 14 when the woman was forced off the sidewalk by the students who taunted her with racial slurs.

Queen’s shorts on sustainability

The Queen’s Centre will be the first campus building deemed environmentally friendly by the leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating system. Although this project—and endeavours such as retrofitting—shows some commitment to sustainability, there’s a lot more Queen’s should do to generate a greener campus.

The last word

Well, sort of. It’s not the last word in any kind of Old Testament mass hysteria sense—I’m not trying to suggest it’s the end of the world. What I mean is this is the last signed editorial for the Journal until January, meaning no more Journal until the New Year and so I’m left writing the last word for you.
