In Our Opinion

New fees find no favor

Students also generally dislike when they are asked to pay more money not knowing where that extra cash is going.

Don’t let college defer your dreams

Brad Iott I, like many of you, watched Inception this summer. My mind was blown by the freedom and limitless potential of a dream, as depicted in the film. Everyone has dreams, but few choose to follow them. Why? Well, it’s simple. Other things get in the way.

On roads not taken

The tragedy of UT student Casey Bucher’s death outside of Maxwell’s Brew in July is still fresh in our minds. So much about the tragic event seems to defy explanation and continues to trouble us. Why did cars pass without stopping as Casey was being stabbed, and why did he end up being the one to make the 911 call? Why wasn’t alleged killer Lawrence James still incarcerated, or at least monitored to ensure he was continuing to take his anti-psychotic medication? Has Toledo’s criminal justice/mental health system failed us? These questions will be asked for some time—likely always for Casey’s family—and they are valid ones.
