I’m a Professor, and I’ll Protect You with Guns
I love my students, and I want you to be safe from murderous gunmen. Whenever I read about a school shooting like the recent one in Parkland, Florida, it breaks my heart. I would like to live in an America that solves the problem of gun violence. That is exactly why I am...

I was intrigued by Mintzhet Tan's article in the March 16, 2017 issue of TSV entitled "Learn to embrace differences through language." I think that Tan is fortunate to be able to use the experience of coming to the United States at a relatively young age and being immersed in school as a primary occupation which has resulted ...

I am pleased to see the article, Students cause Overflow in Classes, in the March 2 issue of The Skyline View.
I’d like to offer an assessment from a faculty member’s point of view. First, I do agree with the author of the article, that this is an issue that has consistently plagued us over the past years.
I’ve taught...

Our newfound compassion for the plight of immigrants:

Dear Skyline View - I appreciate your very clear concern about the coming election(s). And, you've inspired me to add my two cents. Call it an open letter to fellow students...........
Take it from one who's been a progressive social change activist for a verrrrrrrry loooooong time: Change happens rather slowly. But change...

I was shocked after reading your above subject article published on September 15, 2016 and the associated photo and cartoon caricature that accompanied the article! Your reference that our offering classes geared towards women because our gender is stupid, then your photo and cartoon in itself just insulted all women.

I am writing in response to the editorial entitled “Skyline Offers Course Just for Women*”, as well as the photo accompanying the piece and the “Artistic License” cartoon on the same subject.
