OPINION: Peaceful protests won’t save marginalized groups
I am tired of calls for peaceful protests. I want to make it clear: I am not advocating for violence. I don’t think violence is an answer, nor do I think peaceful protest is. When it comes to marginalized students being confronted with those who seek to harm or outright
OPINION: Hold On! A criticism of the ‘move forward’ response by President Starr and others to the PA Shooting
The events of this past weekend horrified and disgusted the world, yet left the Jewish community, on the whole, unsurprised. Perhaps due to the fact that I revisit anti-Semitism week after week in Post-Holocaust Philosophy Theory with Pomona College professor Oona Eisenstadt, I have become especially inured to the idea

I was taught to follow the rules of the system and pursue paths with predictable outcomes. For many Asian-Americans like myself, the expectations we were raised with fuel the explosion of fury in the
Opinion: Claremont Colleges Must Honor 9/11
On Sept. 11, 2001, our parents’ generation had a moment akin to that of Pearl Harbor for our grandparents. They could tell us exactly when they first heard about the attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. We, the average college-aged student, cannot say the same. I was a year
7C Employee Donations Lean Liberal
An exclusive TSL investigation of the donation history between January 2007 and December 2014 shows that employees of the Claremont University Consortium’s member schools donated a total of $176,400 to federal political causes and parties, with the majority going to Democratic causes.
