COUNTERPOINT: New campus mural produces unnecessary racial divisions


By SHAULI BAR-ON
April 18, 2018 in Columns, Opinion, Point/Counterpoint
I hope those who selected the word “whiteness” understand how their mural could be interpreted to mean something negative and unintended, and subsequently join the conversation and debate around the mural.

POINT: Annenberg mural was meant to make people uncomfortable

April 18, 2018 in Columns, Opinion, Point/Counterpoint
Criticizing conversations about racism by challenging the appropriateness of its tone or the diction is a worn leaf out of a conservative playbook.

POINT: Census citizenship question will result in misrepresentation


By SONALI SETH
April 4, 2018 in Columns, Opinion, Point/Counterpoint
Adding the citizenship question might reduce response rates and skew population counts away from immigrants, which is the underlying purpose of the policy change.

COUNTERPOINT: Asking for citizenship status on the census not unconstitutional


By SHAULI BAR-ON

If consumers continue to reward companies that breach their privacy, tech companies will only continue to mine our online identities for personal information that churns a massive profit when sold to consulting firms and advertising agencies.

COUNTERPOINT: Language that offends should not be grounds for expulsion


By SHAULI BAR-ON
March 21, 2018 in Opinion, Point/Counterpoint
The courts have ruled that free speech is “less free” in school settings, and that students shed some of their constitutional rights when they arrive at school gates.

POINT: Universities must be at the forefront of fighting racism


By SONALI SETH
March 21, 2018 in Columns, Opinion, Point/Counterpoint
As neo-Nazism and white nationalism have entered the mainstream, universities everywhere are grappling with what to do when their students are openly racist.

COUNTERPOINT: Ideological inclusivity is essential to a complete college education


By SHAULI BAR-ON
February 27, 2018 in Opinion, Point/Counterpoint
Indeed, adding six conservative professors to Arizona State may give students crucial, additional exposure to conservative ideology they presently lack, given the overwhelming liberal majority in academia.

POINT: Universities should prioritize diverse academic experience


By SONALI SETH
February 27, 2018 in Opinion, Point/Counterpoint
"Lawmakers shouldn’t be telling universities what to teach, and they definitely shouldn’t be handpicking new (conservative) professors in an effort to “de-liberalize” the modern university campus."
