...lacrosse rape case will sadly endure for decades. The prosecution was botched, mishandled by most of its participants and, blown wildly out of proportion by an overeager media. And worst of all, the case’s disastrous disintegration does violence to the atmosphere of discourse and privacy with regard to sexual abuse accusations in America. While accusations of rape on the part of an alleged victim must always be taken seriously, here that respect dissolved into unquestioning credulity.

Myths about perfectionism are common among students. One myth I hear often...

Each week, it reviews grant requests and approves the ones deemed reasonable on a case-by-case basis—with no regard for how much else is spent that week, how much the group has previously received, or how much money is left in the fund. FiCom therefore has little control over if or when the piggybank will run dry. Such a policy—or lack thereof—is fiscally irresponsible and is unfair to student groups with spring...
