Letter to the Editor: Conceding privilege

Yesterday morning, Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama made public statementsregarding Donald Trump’s impending presidency. Yesterday, Hillary Clinton sold the rest of us down the river. Conceding and even promising to work with a Trump presidency flies in the face of what purported values Democrats claim to have.

Collective responsibility

There was a time when progressive-minded people had the luxury of worrying that our leaders wouldn’t fulfill their promises.

“When I think about how much housing has impacted my experiences here in ways that others have not had to deal with, it just reminds me that this space wasn’t intended for a student like me.

Watters’ World AKA Talking to the Stupid People

Stupid people are incredibly entertaining. So entertaining, in fact, that The O'Reilly Factor regularly sends out Jesse Watters to discover new kinds of dumb people to feature in a segment called Watters’ World.

Remembering Bill Bowen (1933-2016)

Last week, we learned of the passing of Bill Bowen *58, a renowned economist who served as president of Princeton University from 1972 to 1988.
