In an editorial, the Record argues that the College has failed to respond quickly and effectively to the departure of staff dedicated to sexual assault prevention and response, leaving students egregiously unsupported.
In an editorial, the Record's editorial board joins calls for divestment from weapons manufacturing and the IDF as well as broader transparency with respect to its investment practices.
The Record Editorial Board argues that the College and the campus community must be proactive in preventing racist incidents and addressing racism in our community.
The College promises to support students who have felt targeted in any way. However, it must first focus on building transparency and accessibility into the reporting process.
Divestment is not just about pulling money out of fossil fuel companies; it is also about sending a message that monetary gain acquired through fossil fuel extraction is unethical, the editorial board writes. Until the College signals this to the broader public, it will not have truly divested.
The College prides itself on providing students a rigorous and exemplary liberal arts education. That is part of why all of us — students and faculty alike — choose to come here. But a narrow emphasis on so-called rigor often has adverse effects on students’ mental health and, subsequently, academic experience.
