Legislations like Yes-Means-Yes will prove necessary in combatting rape, and sexual assault that happens on college campuses nation wide.

Trigger warnings on college campuses, as a means to warn students of course material that may be offensive or disturbing to them, should not be allowed because it does not allow professional, intellectual academic discourse to occur. College professors are staring to second think on what course material to teach, because many students become offended with what comes out of the professor’s mouth, this also applies to comedians that would perform, but now they can’t because of the immaturity of…

According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network show “Every two minutes in the United States, someone is raped, and the chances of being that victim are four times greater for a female college student” (Burnett et. al, 2009). Many times men like to label women with derogatory names such as slut, bitch and at times even being known as easy. Instead, women should be praised for being a survivor or role model after being a victim from a sexual assault such as rape. So what causes rape you…

walk in school. The moment one steps foot in school, marketers do not see one as a “A” grade worthy student instead one is seen as a chance for a company to gain a couple new million bucks.

Andrew Raymo Mrs. Clark ELA April 23, 2016 Do you know anyone in college? I think people attending college should be able to carry guns for this reason. If they are getting in their cars there could be someone that is waiting to hurt them. It would be a lot safer for the teachers and the students. Everyone at the college would feel safer. It also would lower the amount of crime in the area all around the college. I think that students and teachers should be able to carry a gun because…

The growth of collegiate sports in higher education began with a social development between the years of 1890 and 1910 when the American public became fascinated with undergraduate life, according to Thelin. This period was birthed due to the prevalence of Photojournalism and Campus Imagery. Feature articles in nationally circulated magazines gave the public a glimpse inside college walls. Journalists acted as interpreters to the customs and vocabulary of institutions. Audiences in the late…

best campuses by building amazing football stadiums and recreational centers for students typically with money they did not have. This reckless spending spread like a disease as colleges that would build these amazing campuses were taking students away from colleges that weren’t forcing them to do the same thing. This rose the price of tuition at college since 1978 up by 1120%. For a California Resident to go to UC Berkley it was free, but due to deregulation and the commoditizing of campuses…
