The message is clear: America’s wealthiest individuals and billionaires will enjoy increasingly cushy tax breaks, while our nation’s poorest citizens bear the brunt of funding cuts that threaten to fray the safety net to the breaking point.
A slash in funding by the National Institutes of Health will jeopardize the future of scientific discovery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and other research universities.
What’s so different about President Donald Trump this time? This time, he is backed by a well-oiled political machine with the means and the motives to ensure you end his current term with less rights than you started with, and our constitution is in crisis because of it.
For the past couple of years, the Recording Academy has been subject to criticism, scrutinized for snubbing deserving artists and failing to recognize talent in diverse musicians. If the Grammys truly aim to honor the best in music, they need to start recognizing the artists responsible for shaping the industry.
Madison’s beloved Paul’s Bookstore is closing its doors after 70 years. In its final days, take the chance to experience the magic of browsing its overstuffed shelves – before it’s too late.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my four years here, it’s this: Madison is a pedestrian’s world, and everyone else is driving in it. Here, crosswalks are nothing more than a loose suggestion, and drivers hoping for a gap in a constant stream of students are invisible. But, on campus, we need to do a better job of looking out for each other, and we can start by sharing the road.
Less than 24 hours after U.S. servers went dark, TikTok crawled out of a shallow grave, leaving users with mixed emotions. While some have celebrated TikTok’s unexpected return, others have noticed that something about the app seems different, and in some cases, more heavily censored. If young Americans want to imagine a world where they can stay informed without reliance on social media, censored or not, it’s time to bury TikTok for good.
President Donald Trump's early decisions as president set a troubling precedent, signaling a future of divisive policies and uncertain leadership for America.

Like many other students, when faced with more than 1,000 clubs to choose from, I wanted to stay in my comfort zone — giving major and career-oriented clubs first pick. But if my experience working with The Vault has taught me anything, exploring the unexpected can lead to fantastic results.
The Department of Education forms the foundation of Wisconsin’s education system. Trump shouldn’t dismantle it.
SAFEwalk works by sending students in pairs to a person’s location to walk them anywhere on campus at night so they don’t need to go by themself. It seems like a great idea — free, convenient and meant to protect students walking home alone after dark. But after spending two years on campus, I’ve found that despite the university's efforts to promote SAFEwalk, students still refuse to use it.

Underly’s plan, prioritizing special education, per-student funding increases and property tax relief, is a substantial and badly needed investment in the future of Wisconsin.
Madison’s urban planning is a model of innovation and sustainability, rejecting mundane development in favor of thoughtful, people-centered design. With cities holding more than half of the world’s population, informed urban planning is becoming an increasingly valuable player in the battle against climate change.
I owe you something, and you owe me something, too. I have no idea who you are, and you’ve probably never met me before — but that’s the point. While it might be tempting to focus on ourselves, and ourselves alone, we can’t ignore that our own wellbeing often relies on those around us.
Letting campus serve as a political echo chamber may be comforting, but it will lead students to be disconnected from political realities.
When volunteers only push for political engagement before an election, their motives are rarely sincere.
On Nov. 1 at midnight, high school seniors across the U.S. submitted their early action applications to secure their spot as part of the class of 2030. This spring, over half will receive a rejection letter. With college admissions in the rearview mirror, enrolled students have started to take their place at UW-Madison for granted. As a student body, we owe it to hopeful future badgers to give falling back in love with UW-Madison another chance.
