Cardinal View: ‘Problem of Whiteness’ course is valuable, necessary
(01/02/17 8:48pm)
UW-Madison’s spring course guide has been available for more than two months, but some legislators recently raised concerns about next semester’s offerings, particularly about an African languages and literature class called “The Problem of Whiteness.”
Letter to the editor: Whiteness misunderstood as field of study
(12/22/16 7:22pm)
I have a dirty little secret. My secret could inspire public ridicule the likes of which I’ve not yet personally experienced. Given the third-class status of intellectual freedom in the state of Wisconsin, my secret could very possibly cost me a job that I love. But, in the spirit of my love for teaching and people, I’m going to share it anyway.
Reflecting on a historic semester in Madison

ASM delivers early voting to students
ASM looking for more campus involvement
(12/08/16 4:00pm)
About once or twice a month, shared governance committees meet to discuss plans for campus projects and changes. Topics discussed range from student health to building expansions and improvements, along with campus climate and academic planning. Each committee serves a unique purpose, but every committee seats a number of students who serve to represent the student voice alongside university staff, academic staff and faculty. The work done on shared governance committees is extremely important, but very much is unknown by students not directly involved in the process.
Campus carry will put campus at risk
(12/08/16 2:00pm)
We have lost a lot here in Wisconsin. The dignity of working women was attacked on Election Day when the state voted to re-elect a U.S. senator who has voted against pay equity five times. Black students on campus were dehumanized when attendees of a UW-Madison football game brought a noose and metaphorically hung our black president.
Environmental issues remain important after Standing Rock Victory
(12/05/16 4:00pm)
Sunday, the Army Corp of Engineers announced that the North Dakota Access pipeline would not be immediately granted permission to pass through the Missouri River next to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota.
Exposing oneself to diverse ideologies important to politics
(12/05/16 2:00pm)
UW-Madison is an extremely liberal place. This is neither a good or bad thing, it’s just how it is. Recent initiatives by the university have aimed to increase the diversity of the student body and create a welcoming place for people of color.
Fall in UW's research ranking highlights need for more funding
(12/01/16 4:00pm)
Each year, dozens of websites and companies across the world aim to rank universities through a slew of categories, from top 10 party schools to best liberal arts colleges. Most of these Buzzfeed-style listicles are nothing more than clickbait. Last week, however, UW-Madison discovered one less thing to be thankful for this holiday season: The university dropped from its spot as a top-five research institution for the first time in 45 years.
Trump will undo years of environmental progress
(12/01/16 2:00pm)
Donald Trump’s historic election portends massive changes at many levels of the government. The environmental sector may be most at risk. Many changes will arise as new leaders are put in positions of power—their actions may erase decades of progress, rendering the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various other agencies weak. It’s up to private citizens and other countries to now take matters into their own hands.
Gender identities should not be taught in schools, anywhere
(11/28/16 4:00pm)
After spending a sunny afternoon at the playground with some of the boys in my hometown, someone said to me, “It would have been nice if you were born a boy instead of a girl.” I was six or seven years old at the time, and it was at this point in my life that I felt a little off about my identity.
Recognizing own biases helps combat fake news
(11/28/16 2:00pm)
The proliferation of fake news this past election cycle is alarming. This is especially the case on Facebook, where over half of the adult population in America has an account and millions of these individuals use social media to get their news.
Americans must face issues at hand, not run
(11/21/16 3:00pm)
President-elect Donald Trump’s historic victory, making him the first person to become president with no prior political or military experience, marks a turning point in our society. Trump’s presidency may seem like a nightmare for many people, but it is also what millions of Americans wanted and voted for. We must come to terms with this, but resist any of his attempts to erode our civil liberties and First Amendment rights.
Black Friday ruins intended meaning of Thanksgiving holiday
(11/21/16 5:00pm)
With Thanksgiving so close we can already smell the pumpkin pie, the excitement is palpable around campus. A much needed break from classes and family time sounds heavenly, especially with finals beginning to bear their ugly heads.
Sustainable education course needed at UW
(11/21/16 4:00pm)
As a community of college-educated citizens, we are doing ourselves a disservice if we are not informed in the field of environmental sustainability. The environment provides us with all of the base resources we need to survive. Humans will never be able to synthetically produce all the goods and services that the environment gives us, and yet we are destroying it as though we are losing nothing; in fact, we are losing everything.
Letter to the editor: Theatre controversy has no political significance
(11/21/16 2:00pm)
In a 48-hour window that featured President-elect Donald Trump’s nominations of an attorney general and national security advisor, Trump’s resolution of a federal class-action lawsuit on Trump University and a gathering by members of the alt-right community blocks from the White House, the main story on New York Times’ homepage Saturday afternoon pertained to a Twitter controversy involving a famed Broadway musical.
Concealed carry has no place in UW-Madison buildings, community
(11/17/16 4:00pm)
On Monday, a variety of state politicians and Madison community members met to discuss legislation proposed by state Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum, that would permit concealed carry within UW-Madison buildings.
Social media should not replace physical protest
(11/17/16 2:00pm)
Reflecting on the results of the 2016 election has caused many people to type up their thoughts and post a status, tweet or Instagram post on social media. But sites like this have been criticized for creating filter bubbles and echo chambers. People only see the posts of those who agree with them and can easily block or unfriend those with whom they disagree. They’ve created their own unique universe of information. But what’s being edited out? What are you not seeing?
Election results should be respected
(11/15/16 4:00pm)
Ever since election night, Democrats in our country have been in uproar. Protests have erupted across the nation, with people denouncing Donald Trump’s message loud and clear. The hashtag #NotMyPresident has gone viral and social media has become a place of hate between people with differing political opinions. Our country seems more divided than ever.
Many questions remain after Trump's victory
(11/16/16 10:23pm)
President-elect Donald Trump. That’s not something I thought I’d ever have to come to terms with. During his campaign, Trump probably insulted more people than any other presidential nominee in American history … and yet he still won. How did he do it? How did this happen?
