Taking a closer look at the Search Committee firm
Andrew Arenge - Contributing Writer
On July 18, Bob Duelks, Chair of the Presidential Search Committee (PSC) and a member of the Board of Trustees, informed the campus community through an email that the PSC decided to hire the search firm Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates to assist with the process of finding eligible presidential candidates.
Storbeck/Pimentel is “a minority and female-owned organization…[that] takes pride in its strong commitment to and record in attracting the strongest and most diverse applicants” according to Duelks’ letter.
Mourning: A response
Kriscinda Meadows - Contributing Writer
Imagine the three following scenarios.
A man loses his wife after she is raped, tortured, and finally murdered. The entire horrifying scene is caught on tape. The police, at first hot on the trail of the perpetrators, sooner than expected drop the case in pursuit of another, unrelated suspect. The woman’s assailant is never brought to justice and all the man has left of the tragedy are some remnants of the life he once knew and this tape, of which he has a copy. It has been seven years and every year, on the anniversary of his wife’s death, he sits and watches the tape.
I am not a Nazi

One would think that being German or of German heritage in America would not be all that bad. I mean, you are white, so you get all that comes with White Privilege, and being of German heritage is not something that is all that noticeable unless you tell people about it.
That being so, there is an undercurrent of tension and discrimination against people of German heritage of which most people are not even aware. This is the belief, conscious or subconscious, that all people of German heritage are Nazis. Many think it, and most have no problems saying it, even to a person of German heritage. Even you, dear reader, have probably committed this offense.
