The past week on campus has been challenging, to say the least. There are very few days in the year on which we allow ourselves to stop and take a breath. Sometimes holidays can help us take the break that we need, but it can be hard to connect religiously or spiritually at Wesleyan, especially […]
Members of the Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies program at Wesleyan University wish to offer solidarity and support to students and our broader community in the wake of the recent revelations regarding a Wesleyan official who was in charge of sexual misconduct hearings for our campus. We also urge our institution to take action to […]
To the person(s) who graffitied my house, When I read your words on my porch and front door yesterday morning—“predator,” “creep,” “no means yes?”—I realized they weren’t directed at me. I suspect that you were lashing out at my roommate, whose actions must have been deeply hurtful to prompt this kind of response. I don’t […]
Hillary promises free college. Free college would cost taxpayers $350 billion over ten years and increase our national debt. Same scam as Obama Care. It would give fed. gov’t control over our higher education and ruin it too. Obama established fed. gov’t control over bus., banks and investment firms through the bailouts. Next gov’t took […]
On September 18, 2016, the Wesleyan chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi voted to disaffiliate from the AEPi International Fraternity and reorganize ourselves as Alpha Psi Alpha (ΑΨΑ), an independent Greek organization. After much reflection, we found the character and values of our chapter to be incongruous with those of AEPi. We believe we can be […]
In he fahe last two weeks, the Argus has published two opinion pieces arguing against voting for third-party candidates. The central theme of these articles is a reasonable, and perhaps even noble one. Indeed it is one that has become common in the liberal press. Conor Aberle and Emilia Gertner, the authors, urge Wesleyan’s voters […]
I believe there is a healthy and reciprocal relationship between liberals and conservatives, directly related to the role they play for society, and preserved by the Constitution. In fact, it was a recent Constitutional Law class that taught me the simplest way to express this relationship: “we cannot be the judge in our own cases.” […]
Last year, when organizers from USLAC (the United Student-Labor Action Coalition) convinced the WSA to pass a resolution in favor of raising the minimum wage for student workers to $15 an hour, the response from the administration was mixed. Micheal Roth, while appearing to sympathize with the progressive element of the student body, declared, “We […]
Vicious Circles is Wesleyan’s all female-identifying Ultimate Frisbee team. For the first time in twenty-six years, Vicious Circles has qualified for the DIII College National Championships which will take place in North Carolina towards the end of May. We have swept at both Sectionals and Regionals, competitive 2-day tournaments at which the team played 8 and […]
As a political psychologist who studies U.S. imperialism and propaganda concealing and distorting history, I advise voters to observe the principle of caveat emptor regarding Hillary, especially minority voters. Latino voters should remember Hillary’s role deposing elected President Zelaya in Honduras, exposed by recently assassinated Honduran civil rights activist Berta Caceras. Thrown into chaos, Honduras […]
