Imagining the restorative justice crime drama

By Nik Narain | September 28, 2024

With crime TV being one of the most popular genres, media has played a major role in shaping our relationship with crime and punishment, sometimes as major as the policies around criminal justice themselves. It’s certainly not my position to tell you what to watch and not watch, but perhaps this piece can offer a nuanced perspective on the dark realities of these stories that not only miseducate but perpetuate harmful ideas about crime that inevitably contributes to real-life violence.

We only live once: Protecting the sanctity of life

By Advikaa Anand | September 25, 2024

I am not sure when I crossed that grand precipice of wounds and injuries ceasing to serve as emblems of thrill and excitement and instead, causes of fear and worry.

By Umang Dhingra | September 23, 2024

To be vulnerable and forgiving might be rewarded in the form of a lifelong friendship, but it ultimately means something bigger — it shows us we are capable of fostering relationships with others, things that connect us to our own humanness.

Just a coffee isn’t breakfast: Freshmen need better meal equivalency

By Kate-Yeonjae Jeong | September 19, 2024

With the current equivalency rate, students cannot buy a sandwich or even a cup of fruit without going over the price limit. If you want to add coffee or even water to a breakfast pastry, you're way out of the equivalency range, and will have to pay out of pocket with food points. At that rate, it’s not too difficult to quickly run through your food points, making it an unsustainable design for students.
