Editorial: Lessons from a year of crisis
(03/15/21 6:37am)
This week marks one year since the COVID-19 pandemic forced students to leave Tufts’ campus last spring. A year with no in-person graduation, a year with no in-person pre-orientation, a year that changed the way we dine, a year that changed the way we go to class, a year that changed the way we connect with the people we care about. And with every day that goes by, it seems less likely that we will ever “return to normal” — any post-pandemic world will be radically different than the one we left behind a year ago. So as we reflect on all that we’ve lost in the past year, we should also take a moment to think about what kind of new “normal” we want to create for the years ahead.
Editorial: To change TUPD, Tufts' words must be followed by action
(03/12/21 5:01am)
On Feb. 17, University President Anthony Monaco released a statement to the Tufts community via email announcing recommendations made by the “Tufts as an Anti-Racist Institution” initiative.

The report comes after a year whose events have illustrated the danger policing can pose to marginalized communities, and it matters that Tufts revisit how it approaches policing if the university wants to make its campus one that is safe and truly anti-racist.
