“Therefore, it is essential that those looking to bring change to BC also support activism in the surrounding community and beyond at the national level.”
University Should Provide Housing for Affected Students
“If the University truly holds Judeo-Christian values at its core, then it will choose to provide housing for these students, in order to not turn away members of its community seeking assistance.”
Boston Area Needs More Affordable Housing
“Housing prices in Newton and Chestnut Hill are influenced by the housing prices and economy of the city of Boston itself, meaning that students paying rent to live off campus bear the brunt of increased industry and disproportionate real estate development.”
Elections Committee Should Encourage More Candidates
“In light of the current situation, it is paramount that the EC again decide to reopen registration for the 2017 presidential election.”
Admin Statement Affirms Commitment to Diversity
“Although Leahy has not had the best record when it comes to publicly responding to national events and crises, as his most recent email to students was sent in May 2014, he should be commended for responding to such a pertinent matter in a timely fashion.”
BC Dining Should Work With EagleEats
“Following the examples of EagleScribe and EagleEats, technologically-minded students on campus should feel encouraged to address campus needs through innovation.”
Action Must Follow Boston Women’s March
“The Women’s March movement presented a much needed departure from the negativity following the election of Donald Trump, instead ushering in a wave of optimism and leaving millions poised to work for the goal of women’s equality.”
New AADS Professor Hires Indicate Progress
“For a University that designed its honors program around the ‘Western Cultural Tradition,’ working to grow programs and departments that educate students outside of the traditional canon represents a commitment to becoming a more inclusive and diverse institution.”
Heather Cox Richardson, a Pivotal Professor
“Following an election in which the law was used to deprive many Americans of their fundamental political rights, intellectuals such as Richardson represent the floodgates that shield against widespread oppression.”
Boston Students Must Continue Working For Political Change
In taking political action, it is important not to be discouraged or disheartened by criticism and doubt, but to remember that change is only possible through activity.
