The creation of these discussions and the strong reactions from both BSU and SA provided some reassurance that student leadership took this event seriously. Now UB needs to do their part.
Pope Francis visited the United States this week and met with common citizens and policy makers. He visited the nation’s capital, New York City and Philadelphia. He also stopped by jails and churches and addressed Congress and the United Nations on cultural, economic and ecological issues.
Racial and religious discrimination, the last bulwark of the disenfranchised and angry, appears on the presidential scene with ugly and disgusting results.
A 3-1 start for the Bulls would have been a feel-good story for a historically losing program with a new inspiring head coach. But with an ill-fated throw – and tip – with less than two minutes remaining, it all simply dissolved into another .500 start for the Bulls (2-2).
The Bulls (2-1) looked good against Florida Atlantic. You could even say they looked great. Despite the offensive inconsistencies, the Bulls put together a solid defensive performance – one that got nearly every player into the mix. The Bulls won’t continue to play like that for the rest of the season, but it was good to see the defensive line hold the Owl run game and watch some touted, questionable and unheralded playmakers make plays.
September 24, 2015 Dear Students, Starting last week, our campus community has been deeply affected by the controversial student art project that has sparked considerable response and dialogue across our university. From my personal conversations with many of you, I know that our students continue to feel deeply hurt, saddened, confused, and angered by the events of the past week.
Greetings President Satish K. Tripathi and University at Buffalo Administration, Attention: Charles F.
The TSA held Petosky because the full-body scanner flagged what officers called “an anomaly” in her groin area. Even after explaining her situation, Petosky was detained in a private screening room while officers argued about what to do with her, subjected her to multiple pat-downs and searched her luggage.
Usually, these reports turn out to be unfounded, as was the case for 14 year-old Texas youth Ahmed Mohamed. Ahmed has recently received national attention after bringing his homemade clock, which his teachers believed to be a bomb, to school. But was reporting the suspicious clock wrong?
There is no real escape from student debt. Forty eight percent of UB students have taken out loans to get through school. Gone are the days when college could be paid for by working a part-time job during the semester. Costs have skyrocketed beyond affordability.
For the Buffalo football team, I was interested in one area of regression: the turnover margin. The Bulls had just two interceptions all of last season – which seemed unfathomable to me. There are teams in both pro and college that pass the ball more than 50 percent of the time. There were six quarterbacks in college football who threw more than 500 passes last season and 41 threw more than 400 times.
Drake and Future’s most recent project has been out for two days – since its drop, the mixtape has been examined and analyzed from every aspect imaginable. Some common criticisms that have arisen so far: “I thought it was going to be better,” or “It’s not as good as Drake and Future’s old stuff,” and “It didn’t live up to its hype. It’s not that deep.
Celebrating the holidays away from home is inherently difficult. Family, who would normally be celebrating by your side, does not surround you. There’s no home cooked meal. You can’t follow traditions you’ve grown up following, because you’re apart from everyone else.
On the surface, UB Sustainability seems like a good thing. UB's effort comes across as noble. There's a lingering uncertainty that it's both not enough and a slightly calculated move. Furthermore, these efforts are entirely contingent on the students and faculty. We have to be the change – no outside body can force us to make the changes necessary.
The Bulls’ defense scored three touchdowns and recorded a safety in arguably the best defensive performances I’ve ever seen. Yes, I’ve seen Khalil Mack and that triumphant defense in 2013 play as well.
Dear Spectrum Editor, I would like to say that as an art project and a statement of our times it is most appropriate.
Our country seems to have forgotten this. Teachers have been subjected to intense and often unrealistic scrutiny and recent educational reform has proven unwieldy at best and damaging at worst. Worst of all, we pay teachers a pittance compared to most jobs in the United States.
This letter was submitted to The Spectrum from Ashley Powell, the graduate fine arts students who admitted to hanging 'White Only' and 'Black Only' signs on campus Wednesday.
A graduate art student posted at least four signs near bathrooms and water fountains in Clemens Hall Wednesday with broad letters stating “White Only” or “Black Only.” University Police took the signs down, but the impact was still felt around campus.
The imbalance of trade with Asian countries has been bemoaned in popular culture for years.
