On Nov. 19, 2025, the University of California (UC) Board of Regents approved an undergraduate tuition increase for future students despite systemwide student opposition.
In a 13-3 vote, the Board renewed its Tuition Stability Plan — first adopted under former UC President Michael V. Drake in 2021 — that includes several amendments set to take effect in the 2026-27 academic...
Oftentimes, you may hear family, friends or the internet praising science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors and why you should choose that pathway in college. People often overlook or downplay humanities students because they are seen as “really easy” or “not important.” This stereotype is because STEM majors tend to have a perceived heavy workload, such as difficult...
Jubilee is a platform not for productive dialogue, but for division and centers around a business model of profiting off of hatred and bigotry. Creating a space for people of all political backgrounds is one thing. But when those people who are platformed directly advocate for policies that could undermine democracy or rob certain groups of the right to...
In a plot twist nobody saw coming — not even the aunties who claim to have all the gossip — New York City has apparently decided that the relationship between Donald Trump and Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is the next great American bromance.
Yes, Trump has found a new “Bubba,” as one bewildered New Yorker put it and that “Bubba” is...
Direct admission is a new college enrollment approach that is being used by university systems, such as the California State University (CSU) system, to make higher education more accessible. Instead of requiring students to apply first, colleges review verified academic data and reach out directly with admission offers. This early offer tells students they are capable and wanted, helping...
With the decade’s incessant use of neon, pastel suits too bright for the human eye, unattractive mullets, as well as the release of tacky, over-the-top films like “Top Gun” and “Pretty in Pink,” the 1980s deserves to be disregarded when it comes to finding out which decade was the greatest. Those who deem it as one of the best...
The University of California (UC), a system serving 300,000 students, currently grants only one of its two student regents voting power on the UC Board of Regents. This body sets policy on tuition, academic programs, labor agreements and systemwide priorities. The second student position serves as a non-voting “regent-designate” for a year before rotating into the voting seat.
Student leaders...
One fine day, you’re minding your business, drinking your overpriced latte. Then, the next thing you know, you’re getting emotionally, academically, medically and spiritually dragged into a full-blown World Wrestling Entertainment match you did not sign up for. Annoying. Rude. Borderline wrong.
And here’s the thing nobody tells you: when life comes swinging at you from every direction possible, you’re...
My screen time totaled over 12 hours a day before I went to college. I was the definition of a person being “chronically online.” It all started when I created my first social media account at 14-years old. At the beginning, I was not as addicted, but it eventually got to the point where I would feel embarrassed about...
We’ve built a culture that treats busyness as a badge of honor. At the University of California, Riverside (UCR) — like most universities — the rhythm of our days is measured in deadlines, discussion posts and the number of unread Canvas notifications waiting for us.
Students are constantly sprinting from lecture halls to labs, calendars are packed and their minds...
