Editorial | Censoring survivors

The Tisch Library earlier this month hosted a gallery to bring awareness to issues of sexual assault as a part of Sexual Assault Awareness month. The gallery’s title was “Faces oM Survivors: Voices Reclaimed,” but according to some of the survivors meant to be featured, their voices were silenced rather than reclaimed. Full story

Greek life? Yes. Really.

It was with consternation that I read yesterday’s op−ed, “Pledging to never rush: a criticism of Greek life at Tufts,” by Lauren Border, attacking Greek life at Tufts. Briefly, the op−ed accused Tufts’ fraternities and sororities of being individuality−destroying, destructive institutions with a malevolent grasp of social life on campus. 10 comments

Editorial | Brown’s unsustainable campaign

The office of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown (LA ’81) on Monday released a letter to Whole Foods co-CEOs John Mackey and Walter Robb condemning the brand’s choice to stop selling seafood that it doesn’t consider “sustainable.” Brown is currently locked in a reelection race with Harvard University law professor and likely Democratic Senate nominee Elizabeth Warren, and Warren’s surge in recent polls has made the race a tight one.

To strike, or not to strike, Iran?

  While Israeli opposition to a nuclear Iran is not a new phenomenon, it has been articulated with increased urgency in recent months. This stems from the suspicion that Iran’s nuclear program is entering a “zone of immunity”— that all relevant facilities are being moved to underground fortifications, safe from any potential attack.

Shalom, Namaste

Our story begins with two Americans, one with an Indian background, the other Israeli, living in a pocket of suburban Long Island. With little in common other than a few mutual friends and an extracurricular activity connecting our two high schools, we became fast friends. 1 comment

Our pledge to Tufts

  As former president of the Inter-fraternity Council (IFC) and an executive member of Panhellenic, we would like to share our reflection on Lauren Border’s op-ed “Pledging to never rush,” which was published on Wednesday, April 25.

Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers, It’s that time of year again — the time when we students are equal parts anxious about finals and eagerly awaiting summer break, when the New England weather gods can’t decide if 50s or 70s are preferable and when Red Sox fans on campus and around the Boston area fret endlessly about their team’s apparently inevitable demise.

I’m a ‘stereotyping, ignorant outsider’ who is still pledging to never rush

I’ve spent the last few days sitting back analyzing reactions to my first op-ed, and I began to realize that the severe backlash I was experiencing was often due to people inadvertently expanding upon my ideas or misinterpreting them altogether. 4 comments

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, I know a lot of people are upset about Lauren Border’s op-ed about Greek life in yesterday’s issue of The Tufts Daily. And I don’t mean to jump on the bandwagon, but I really feel that I need to respond in some sort of public forum. I have been a fraternity brother for roughly three years now. 1 comment

Editorial | Heavy-handed federal drug policies hit the Hill

  Students yesterday voted in the election for Tufts Community Union president but did not, as planned, vote on a proposed referendum that would have shown student support for amending the school’s code of conduct. The proposed amendment would have lessened the penalty for possession or use of one ounce or less of marijuana to a $100 fine and a required meeting with the Tufts Department of Health Education.

Letter to the Editor

  Dear Editor and Tufts Community, In response to your editorial “Making students the priority,” those of us who organized yesterday’s Edward R. Murrow Forum just have to say that you’re right and we’re sorry.  The timing of this year’s event coinciding with the Admissions Office’s Jumbo Days was not intentional; the date and timing of the event were driven by Brian Williams’ schedule more than anything else.
