ACADEMIC FREE SPEECH
Open dialogue, conversations, discussions and debates which spark student learning occur in the classroom, during student group meetings, and everywhere on campus.
TAKE CARE OF YOU
If you do not love and take care of yourself everyday, then chances are that no one else will either.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
Are painkillers also killing your hearing? When you think of risk factors for hearing loss, over-the-counter pain relievers probably aren't among them.

MEDIA MADNESS
Why is it that following acts of violence, which causes multiple deaths, the media keeps mentioning the perpetrator? These people who commit crimes are sick people seeking attention and the media gives it to them every time. We need to have conversations with friends and colleagues about this problem.
CITY IMAGES proposes that these criminals be left in the shadows to lurk in their own darkness. The emotional crescendo of family friends and our nation is understandable following tormented losses, most of which are caused by the growing access of guns in this country.

ELECTION = DEMOCRACY?
If elected officials refuse to be accountable for all their actions, then democracy seizes to exist and the entire system collapses and dies.
If democracy breaks down, elected representative can easily transform him, or herself into a despot. History has examples of democratically elected leaders who evolved into tyrants. Here are three instances in Asia, Africa and Europe.
Ferdinand Marcos - He was first elected as an idolized figure of the resistance against the Japanese in WWII. When he was ousted in 1986, his government was synonymous with corruption and repression.
