Trump elected for a second term
The systems in place will protect America against tyranny. In 2024, Donald Trump was elected president. And in 2025, the long run of the United States is going to end. Or at least that is what I have repeatedly heard from the media, political commentators and most frequently on social media. Some in this country […]
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.

Miss USA visited TU earlier this month
Her visit caused both positive and negative reactions. On Oct. 4, the current Miss USA winner Alma Cooper came to The University of Tulsa with Army to take pictures and videos with students and faculty and to watch Army rip our team’s hearts out and eat them like MREs. But who is Cooper, what is […]
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 […]
Improvements of the Tulsa Market District on Route 66
TU students can take advantage of the new improvements along 11th Street and Lewis Avenue. Oklahoma has the most miles of Route 66 — the Mother Road — than any other state. This historical highway runs along 11th Street alongside the TU campus, giving students a front-row seat to the many revitalization efforts happening nearby. […]
Women’s sports continue to face problems at TU
Funding and media attention for female athletes are lacking equality. Light needs to be shed on the problems that women’s sports continue to face at The University of Tulsa even with the existence of Title IX.
