The shop’s biggest issue, one that I find completely and utterly unacceptable, is their salsa; in particular, Green Mountain Gringo Salsa. Overlooking the fact that […]

Dear Wesleyan, As a student body that claims to value a diverse and robust learning environment, I am disappointed to learn about efforts to “silence” Justice Antonin Scalia’s lecture earlier this month. You are right to call for greater diversity among “students of color, international students, students with disabilities, radical/non-politically ‘Left’ students, [and] low-income students,” […]

There was nothing in the materials on the table […]
