Moraff '14: Scientists, do not help murder anyone

Giving $50,000 minus some-odd dollars per year makes us all more or less responsible for things at Brown — what the University does for society, how it helps it and how it hurts it. So we should all be a little worried about the sciences because some scientists make terrible things happen.

Moffat '13: Divided we stand

Spurred by the radical discourse within the Tea Party and Occupy movements, more and more political debates I witness express themes of desperation and animosity. They are desperate in the sense that each participant perceives an urgent crisis. According to recent polls, three out of four registered ...

Hefer '12: The right to public masturbation

As a member of the College Hill community and choker of the occasional chicken, I could not help but take an interest in the recent spate of public masturbatings. While the John Street and the copycat masturbator are doing something reprehensible, they are not necessarily doing anything unjust.

Lebovitz '14: Emigrating back to the center

Global consistency reigns supreme this holiday season. In our current haze of national ennui and deja vu, Republicans still equate tax increases with hari-kari, Italian bond interest rates increase daily like clockwork and Gail Collins never fails to mention that Mitt Romney once tied his dog to the ...

Henriques '12: What an effective protest movement looks like

Was there any doubt that it would someday come to this?

Editorial: Embracing experiential diversity

Brown's effort to diversify the student body should be about more than just race, religion and ethnicity. It should emphasize finding students with as varied life experiences as possible. This holistic diversity will foster the formation of more rounded, inclusive classes and more fully reflect American ...

Tobias '12: Changing a cheating culture

Scheming to defraud, falsifying business records and criminal impersonation — these are just a taste of the criminal charges being levied against Long Island high school and college students who allegedly cheated on the SAT. According to prosecutors, the high schoolers paid college students to ...

Trupin '13: Justice for Haitian workers

When Johnny Joseph went to work at his factory, Genesis S.A., Friday, Sept. 23, he had only been the treasurer of Sendika Ouvriye Takstil ak Abiman — a newly recognized union of Haitian garment workers — for a week. That day at work, he began to feel sick and asked his boss for leave to ...
