LTTE: The University is denying the genocide of Palestinians

LTTE: The University is denying the genocide of Palestinians

Guest Author • May 4, 2022
On Monday, April 11, Colorado State University's Office of Inclusive Excellence hosted Naomi Greenspan of the Academic Engagement Network. The Academic Engagement Network lists its mission as seeking "to oppose efforts to delegitimize Israel, to support robust discussion, research and education about Israel in the academy, to promote campus free expression and academic freedom and to counter antisemitism when it occurs on campus.” Greenspan advocates that opposition to Israel is inherently antisemitic. Against this backdrop, it is important to remember why Israel is so often a target of criticism: Israel is a racially segregated state that continues to engage in deliberate ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Stella: CSU needs to show more appreciation for Native people

Michael Stella, Collegian Columnist • May 3, 2022
The campus tour is a vital part of the decision-making process of future college students deciding which university or college they should attend. There is one element of tours at Colorado State University that is crucial and should go much further in-depth: Native American representation. Tours at Colorado State University follow a defined route that can go either way, forward or backward. A tour typically starts at the iconic Oval and makes stops at Morgan Library, the Student Recreation Center, a residence hall and an academic building.

Tusinski: CSU students find the perfect way to protest campus preachers — comedy

Dylan Tusinski, Collegian Columnist • May 3, 2022
There is a holy war brewing on Colorado State University's campus. It's not nearly as bloody, violent or fierce as the holy wars of generations past, but there is a recurring theological battle that keeps propping itself up in Fort Collins and on college campuses nationwide. Just over a week ago, CSU once again became the latest battleground in the ongoing campus preacher parade. The now-infamous campus preachers returned to The Plaza with a smattering of Bible-wielding, cargo short-clad, middle-aged white men shouting at students passing by on their way to class.

McKissick: It’s OK to not have a 5-year plan post-graduation

Nathaniel McKissick, Collegian Columnist • May 2, 2022
Graduation can be a fun, scary and exciting time. Some students have their first job in the workforce lined up before the day of commencement rolls around, while others are absolutely uncertain of what comes next. Maybe you’re one of those people who live by their five-year plan. Maybe you’ve planned for this moment for years, and you know exactly what comes next for you, how you’re going to get it and what it’ll lead to.

Henry: If there is any time to not take summer classes, this is it

Brendan Henry, Collegian Columnist • May 1, 2022
The last few days of the semester are coming to an end, and summer break is on the horizon. The days of grinding away at term papers and cramming for finals are coming to a close, and for some, the result is receiving a degree. For the rest of us, the struggle will continue when the fall semester rolls around. If there is any time to not take classes during the summer, this is it. COVID-19 restrictions are lifting as vaccination totals continue to go up and the number of cases goes down, resulting in plenty of activities to partake in. Go to a concert or a ballgame; just enjoy the sun.
