Title IX crucial to prevent and punish sex discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual violence
In a recent speech at the United Nations, Emma Watson raised the question, "What if, as is the case at far too many universities, (students) are given the message that sexual violence isn’t actually a form of violence?”
Writing behind bars: Postcard-only mailing policies in jails are unjust, ineffective
Imagine that your only contact with the outside world — with your family, friends, current or prospective employers and teachers — was confined to a 6-by-4-inch space.
How many ways are you apologizing? Tentative language undermines credibility
It was a typical Sunday afternoon, and I was catching up on my email. As I typed out response after electronic response, I began to notice a pattern in my language: phrases like "I just wanted to let you know," "I'm sorry to bother you but" and "I know how busy you are" continuously reappeared in my writing.
Wrongful conviction matters
Since 1989, 1,879 people have been exonerated in the United States. This means that 1,879 innocent people were wrongfully convicted of a crime, only to later be declared factually innocent or relieved of the consequences of their conviction.
The power of knowledge: Why students have a responsibility to know their rights

Speak loudly, remember diligently: Why student activism matters
On June 4, 2016, I stood in the middle of a clean, yet crowded, plaza in Beijing, China, my feet pressing against cement blocks that once hosted pools of blood. It was the 27th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. I made my way through the Beijing subway system, which was crawling with increased security presence, in order to see what was being done to commemorate the tragedy.
Sweet home Arizona
There's no denying it: Arizona definitely gets a bad rap.

Here's a list of inspirational sayings that will out-do the quotes from your high school homeroom teacher's collection of motivational posters ("There's no 'I' in team!") and bring a little balance to your sleep-deprived existence.
ASU sexual assault education leaves room for reform
This April, ASU and college campuses across the country are marking Sexual Assault Awareness Month through events to "raise public awareness about sexual violence, and educate communities about prevention." Sexual Assault Awareness Month is organized by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), and this year's theme is "Prevention is Possible."
It's time for students to admit when we're not fine

The gender tax on ASU campus
A dollar should have the same worth no matter whose hands it is in. Unfortunately, thanks to gender-targeted pricing, that's not always the case.
Maricopa County betrayed primary voters
The right to vote is the cornerstone of a democracy. Yet effectively, if someone has a right but is unable to practice it, this right is meaningless.
Facing my privilege: A week in Cuba
On March 5, I sat with 17 other ASU students and two ASU professors on a charter flight gliding over the Florida Straits, destined for Havana, Cuba. Together, we represented the first ASU study abroad trip to Cuba. Armed with my U.S. passport and money for souvenirs, I was full of excitement and nervousness — a weird feeling of expecting something but simultaneously having no idea what to expect.

ASU can officially claim another victory against our southernmost rivals at University of Arizona. But this victory, coming in the form of a recently published ranking of U.S. universities, is one we should seriously reconsider celebrating.
