Our Need for Net Neutrality: Is Democracy Threatened?

Will Nicolay, Staff Writer December 21, 2017
The year is 2025, and you’d like to watch some YouTube on your desktop.

The president of the University of Virginia received heavy backlash following a school-wide email she sent out in late fall last year. The source of the rage is President Teresa Sullivan’s choice to include a quote by the school’s founder, Thomas Jefferson. Students and staff alike appealed to the school’s president to cease quoting the school’s founder in future communication documents. They reasoned that regardless of the subject Jefferson was referring to in the quote, he should not have been referenced due to his history of slave ownership.

Henry Ford, Americana, and a History of Racism and Nationalism

Bryan Grady, Staff Writer October 27, 2017
This August, thanks to the Charlottesville rallies, many Americans were shocked to learn that our country possessed such a vocal population of white nationalists, racists, and Nazis.
