Asian discrimination is an under-addressed problem in America
(03/09/18 7:24pm)
Recent news that a former YouTube employee sued Google for allegedly refusing to hire white and Asian men in an attempt to increase the company’s overall diversity struck my mind. It makes me wonder, as an Asian, what political and social status do we actually have in U.S. society?
Masculine expectations prevent open emotions
(03/08/18 10:50pm)
I have been taught to not be ashamed of my emotions. However, I have also been taught to use my emotions wisely and that certain emotions are not always appropriate.
Parkland shooting spurs necessary common sense gun action
(03/02/18 2:00pm)
Earlier this week, sporting goods giant Dick’s Sporting Goods announced in a letter from their CEO Edward Stack that they will halt the sale of all firearms similar to those used in the Parkland, Florida school shooting. According to the letter, they will no longer sell assault-style rifles or high capacity magazines in any of their online or retail locations.
Protesting, activism are worth the risk in standing up for rights
(03/01/18 2:00pm)
While student protest is an integral and rich part of UW-Madison’s history, some believe protesting has become a routine example of fanatical liberalism on campus. It seems like there is a different protest every day and too many issues to keep track of. The results of the 2016 election cycle have spurred marches for various causes all across the nation, as the Trump presidency continues to provide a limitless stream of controversial policies and scandals.
Don't blame the player, blame the NCAA system
(03/01/18 4:00pm)
Since details of the FBI investigation into the NCAA last week exposed some “shocking” revelations about the corruption within college sports, we have seen analysts, economists and professional players offering their opinions on how to fix what is clearly a broken system.
Cardinal View: Wisconsin's environmental policies are at odds with Native beliefs
(02/22/18 4:00pm)
The Native American concept of “7th Generation thinking” emphasizes the need to think about how contemporary actions will impact those down the road. This provides a framework for many native communities, helping to prevent selfish decisions. Sustainable mentalities such as this uphold the Native American ideal that humans are not owners of land, but rather temporary residents with an obligation to preserve and respect it.
Cardinal View: Dejope is not enough in the fight for Native American representation
(02/22/18 2:00pm)
Madison, like much of Wisconsin, was the land of Native Americans before European settlers colonized it. In the early 1800s, what is now Madison was known as “the land of the four lakes” and belonged to the Ho-Chunk nation. Fast forward nearly 200 years later and Madison has practically erased any history of the Ho-Chunk that called it home for much longer than we have.
Universal background checks and mental health evaluations are integral to preventing mass shootings
(02/21/18 6:00pm)
“Guns don’t kill people! People kill people!” That is true. Nikolas Cruz did kill people. He killed 17 innocent people in Parkland, Florida on February 14. But he killed those people using a gun. A semiautomatic gun to be exact: An AR-15 that I believe holds no place in civilian society.
Russian indictments show that U.S. democracy is in danger
(02/19/18 2:00pm)
On Friday, Robert Mueller, the special counsel in charge of investigating Russian influence on the 2016 election, filed an indictment against 13 Russians for conspiring to defraud the U.S. political system and attempting to provoke political and social tensions in America.
Plan to decrease 'brain drain' a good first step
(02/15/18 7:00pm)
As an out-of-state student, I understand the trials and tribulations of an ever-increasing tuition while in-state students reap the benefit of a locked in price of attending UW-Madison. This is more than just annoying for personal financial reasons, however. It is often harder for out-of-state students to be admitted to UW-Madison, and as a result, those that do get admitted bring higher test scores, extracurricular activities and more money to the campus. The UW system has recently unveiled a new proposal that would reduce tuition for outof-state students if they plan to live in work in Wisconsin for two years after graduation.
Bucky's Tuition Promise is important, necessary
(02/15/18 5:55pm)
When I arrived at UW-Madison last semester, I held the naïve opinion that class stratification was not a large problem on campus. While my experiences so far have drastically changed my mind, I think that Chancellor Rebecca Blank’s new financial assistance program for low-income students, called “Bucky’s Tuition Promise,” was a step in the right direction.
Upcoming meal plan protest justified, necessary
(02/12/18 6:00pm)
At the end of the 2017 fall semester, reports came out that UW had ideas of implementing a new “meal plan” idea that would come into effect the fall semester of 2018. The University would require new incoming freshmen to deposit a minimum of $1,400 on their WisCard account.
'Mumble rap' poorly represents hip-hop's history and tradition
(02/08/18 4:00pm)
Hip hop has always been a genre that evolves with the times. Since it was born in the early 80s in the Bronx, hip hop has changed with the culture and has had a growing influence on our society.
Taco Bell alcohol ban is misguided
(02/08/18 2:00pm)
Taco Bell has plans to open a new cantina-style restaurant on State Street, bringing students both Nachos Bell Grande as well as liquor. However, this plan was put to a stop by Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, who vetoed the issuing of a liquor license for the restaurant under the concern that it would not be good for the future and atmosphere of the State Street area.
President Trump should not be immune from sexual harassment scrutiny
(02/06/18 2:05pm)
Recently, there have been numerous reports of women speaking out about their experiences with sexual misconduct in Hollywood. Due to these accusations, famous men and their reputations have been rightfully destroyed. The Time’s Up campaign has resulted in change in Hollywood, but as a society, we have a long way to go before time is really up. Even the President of the United States has been accused of sexual misconduct.
Facebook and social media are distracting and unnecessary tools
(02/01/18 4:00pm)
Our generation cannot get enough of social media. It is an addiction that grips our society and defines our times. Today more than 1 billion people have a Facebook account and our world is more connected than ever. But Facebook can be a dangerous drug.
Ryan and Johnson ramp up absurd FBI attacks
(02/01/18 2:00pm)
Although the State of the Union did not mention it, the state of the special counsel’s investigation into possible Russian collusion with the Trump campaign is in peril.
Trump's censorship is authoritative, harmful
(01/24/18 3:53am)
Fetus . Diversity. Transgender. Vulnerable. Entitlement. Science-based. Evidence-based.
Cardinal View: Carbon neutral pledge a starting point for UW
(01/23/18 6:27pm)
To be greener, we must want to do more than sign a pledge.
