Paying over $100 to park at a campus where students are charged over $20k a semester to attend is absurd, and so over the past few years, students have gotten incredibly crafty in steering clear from getting caught parking on campus without a permit. However, as creative as they become, It has caused...

Editor’s Note — This piece was first published three weeks after the event occurred. The original publication included an error consisting in a lapse of journalistic integrity.

Controversial legislation disputes, among a host of national conversations, leave Americans considering how to harmoniously cohabitate the nation — and politicians...
