Commentary editor Adam Walsh discusses how allowing college-level endorsements positively reinforces negative behavior. In a striking reversal of philosophy, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has changed its player’s rights policy to allow the utilization of a student athlete’s name, image and likeness in promotional material. This translates to allowing students to get paid for things […]
Although TU has faced budget cuts in the past, a new wave of reductions leaves faculty and students strangely hopeful On Friday, Sept. 24, a College of Arts and Sciences faculty meeting took place under the direction of the new-ish dean, Karen Petersen. Of course, the second this meeting was planned, the rumor mill guaranteed […]
