Harris failed to reinforce her base

Harris should have aligned her policies with those of her base. Those who align more with left-wing politics have been having apocalyptic views of the future of the nation over the past week following the re-election of Donald Trump. Many have said that Trump’s second rise will mark the end of American democracy, the dissolution […]

Tulsa’s mayoral race has been shrouded in controversy

Karen Keith’s campaign in particular has been a source of contention this local election cycle. It is important to remember the more state-specific and local elections taking place on election day as Nov. 5 quickly approaches. As mentioned in previous issues of The Collegian, hundreds of seats are for the taking across the country. This […]

State-wide questions are on the ballot

Oklahomans vote to retain justices and pass or fail state questions. Three justices on the Oklahoma Supreme Court are up for retention and two state questions will be approved or denied by the people of Oklahoma on Nov. 5.

Palestine mural desecrated

Following the Street Painting event, students returned to find their mural painted over.

The week started with Fall Fest in which students […]

Ongoing midterms at TU

Students continue to take exams following the submission of midterm grades. On Oct. 18, midterm grades were due.

Yahya Sinwar’s death brings mixed reactions. On Oct. 16, the Israel Defense Forces reported that they had killed Yahya Sinwar, who was chosen as the new leader of Hamas following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in July. For days, Hamas released no statement in confirmation or denial of Sinwar’s death, but on Oct. 19, Hamas […]

Accessibility remains a struggle at TU

The university falls short in providing accessibility to all buildings on campus. Many students agree that the University of Tulsa could do better when it comes to accessibility and ADA compliance on campus. While the university is technically ADA compliant, many of its buildings and entrances should not be considered as such and seem to […]

One year has passed since October 7

Israel has been in constant violation of international law. Last October, Israel launched an attack on Gaza, its long-time target, with the consent of the United States, the media and those who were not at all well-versed in the history of the so-called Arab-Israeli conflict. Starting history from Oct. 7, 2023, Israel cited Hamas’ large-scale […]

Senate debates constitution rewrite

As usual, the Senate of the Student Government Association reconvened last Tuesday at 9 pm in Helmrich 105 to discuss important business that will directly impact TU students.

Harris uses similar tactics as Biden

Harris only shows care for Palestinians to gain votes. Joe Biden’s position on Palestine and the genocide in Gaza has long been made clear. He continues to fund the Israeli occupation as it enacts its complete disregard for human life with his administration providing Israel with $20 billion more in weapons as recently as Aug. […]
