As a resident and a house fellow, the residence halls were foundational in my social and academic college experience. Through neighbors down the hall, I found several of my best friends, learned about cultures from around the world and developed curiosities for academic disciplines I hardly knew existed. With nearly all first-year students living on campus, Housing helps form intimate communities to contrast the enormity of the University and brings together students from all academic, regional and ideological backgrounds to an unstructured social setting — a phenomenon not found elsewhere at the school to such significance. With how critical a role Housing plays in campus life, I am concerned about how the mandatory Dining deposit will impact low-income students' access to our state’s public flagship university.

Prior to the 1970s, the term “pipeline” was used in industry to describe the process in which a product is pushed through the development phase and out into the market. However, this metaphor would gain new meaning with the gradual diminishing of women from technology-based fields. Now women, not objects, are the ones being pumped into a “pipeline” that ideally leads to careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Board of Regents take easy way out, enact misguided free speech policy

Recently the University released a policy proposal to mandate a $1,400 non-refundable dining hall deposit for incoming freshman living in the dorms. The deposit would only be available for use at campus dining halls and unions and students would make four $350 quarterly deposits. If the funds are not spent before the school year is out, they go to the University and students receive only an email reminder to use the money before it disappears.

Earlier in November there was a monumental leak in the Keystone Pipeline, resulting in over 200,000 gallons of oil spilling into the land of South Dakota, close to the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation. This marks the pipeline’s third significant leak in the United States since 2010. Originally, the pipeline’s owner, TransCanada Corp, projected spills once every seven to 11 years in the US and once every 41 years in South Dakota.

Last Tuesday, FCC Commissioner and Trump-appointee Ajit Pai released plans to rollback net neutrality. If enacted, the days of the internet as a free and open forum will come to an end.

According to data collected by UW-Madison from 2006-’11, the average graduation rate of students was 56.8 percent in four years and 81.9 percent in five years. However, these numbers look drastically different for first-generation students, as only 46.2 percent graduate in four years and 74.7 percent graduate in five years.

Education is something that has so much power. It has the possibility to change lives and better the future. It is through education and knowledge that the world evolves and new creations come to reality. Unfortunately, the education system in America does not do every student justice.

The 2016 Campus Climate Survey found that only 35 percent of trans students felt welcome on campus. Trans students are also more likely to be the target of hate or bias incidences. We need to do better.

For the past two years, we have been fighting to establish a Hmong American Studies Certificate Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our initiative has gained widespread support from UW students, alumni and members of the Wisconsin community. As registered students, we believe it is our right to petition for changes that will be more responsive to and more inclusive of Hmong American students and their lived experiences on campus. However, some university staff, faculty, and administrators have attempted to diminish our student voices and needs. We write today in response to those who have starkly disregarded us. We write in response to those whose actions have shown us they do not truly stand for diversity or the principles of a liberal arts education.

The state elections on Tuesday were a resounding success for Democrats. Ralph Northam beat out Republican opponent Ed Gillespie for Virginia in a 9-point victory, and Republicans lost at least 14 seats in the House of Delegates which could potentially cause the majority to shift to Democrats. Additionally, New Jersey elected Philip Murphy to the office of governor, defeating the Republican opponent Kim Guadagno.

In mid-October, President Trump announced that he will not recertify the Iran nuclear deal, following through on his campaign promise to end one of the Obama Administration’s signature achievements. The deal is a big step towards stability in the Middle East and ending it would question the United States’ role as a leader in the denuclearization of the world.

At 22 years old, as I get to finally conclude the unwritten chapter that is my Bachelor’s Degree, I am thrust into a world of Partying On School Nights and Meeting That One Guy From Tinder. I find myself somewhat lost and isolated in this obnoxious world that can’t seem to shut up or slow down enough for me to catch up.

In June of 2017, right after students left school for the summer, the Wisconsin state Assembly passed a bill called “The Free Speech Resolution” (SB 250), a policy that would punish students disrupting speakers on campus by threatening suspension and expulsion. In October, the Board of Regents adopted a similar policy. Its text does not specify what qualifies as disruption, and the committees have said that each reported incident will be judged on a “case by case basis,” despite the fact that there is no rubric for judgement included in the bill. If a student decides to protest a speaker, they can have their public education taken away for civil disobedience. The individual consequences, however, are minimal compared to the impact of this bill on the quality of public discourse and a wider civic culture. This bill sets a dangerous national precedent for all public universities.

Sexual education in the United States is massively flawed. Our reliance upon sex-negative and abstinence-only sex education is not an effective tool for teenagers and young adults who are navigating sexual relationships for the first time.
