Online Comments of the week
In response to "10 worst things at Rice"
(August 24, 2012)
My god, these comments are disgusting. The point of the article was to criticize the lack of support for Rice among students and perhaps student organizations' lack of effort to use Rice's resources properly to allow the student body to fully enjoy all that Rice has to offer. The point was not to bash this school or the town surrounding it. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You are so lucky to go here, whether on scholarship or paying full tuition. Yeah, pre-meds are annoying, I'm one, I'd know. But we actually have a much better organized social scene than most colleges with their BS exclusivity (e.g. sorority and fraternity parties) and most kids at state schools who don't have the money or the SAT scores to go here would kill for an acceptance letter. Appreciate what you've been given. Don't knock the few luxuries we lack.

This moment may be unprecedented — Rice falling short is not
In many ways, the current landscape of American higher education is unprecedented. Sweeping cuts to federal research funding, overt government efforts to control academic departments and censor campus protests and arbitrary arrests and visa revocations have rightly been criticized as ushering in the latest iteration of fascism.
