Women: Walking alone is scary, but that’s why we have to

Erin Douglas • March 8, 2018
Last week I tried to take my dog for a walk at 5 p.m. on a Monday night. It’s still winter in Colorado, so it was about to get dark, but it wasn’t yet. It's the kind of dark in which the trees lose their color, only appearing as silhouettes — the kind of dark in which only half of the cars passing by have headlights on.

It took too long for our student government to talk about bias-motivated incidents

The Collegian • March 1, 2018
During Wednesday night’s senate session for the Associated Students of Colorado State University, Sen. Tamera Breidenbach started a conversation about bias-motivated incidents on campus– nearly seven months after the first one occurred.

CSU’s lack of transparency reaches the highest level, but it’s a simple fix

Erin Douglas • February 13, 2018
A conversation about Colorado State University’s future at the highest university level happened this past weekend — 173 miles from Fort Collins. CSU's Board of Governors convened Thursday and Friday at the CSU Pueblo campus to discuss, among other topics, the Hughes Stadium property, the on-campus stadium's projected income statement, political tension surrounding free speech and a possible tuition increase.

Fall’s headlines were hard on all of us, for different reasons. Maybe it was one headline one day. Maybe it was an ongoing story. But, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say we all saw a headline this semester that broke us.

The Associated Students of Colorado State University’s senate is currently in the process of attempting to impeach the student body president. But, they don’t seem to want to tell anyone why they’re trying to impeach him.
