Minority stories extend beyond the numbers

Wednesday, we ran a double-feature in which two of our writers investigated the enrollment trends among two minority communities at UF. Earlier stories published elsewhere reported a dramatic decline in black enrollment at the university; however, they were misled by incomparable data, caused by changes in UF’s demographic self-reporting questionnaire.

Rubio rape bill focus misplaced

Last month, Florida’s Republican U.S. senator and UF  alumnus Marco Rubio proposed a bipartisan-supported bill detailing a plan to combat sexual assault on college campuses. A letter he wrote was featured in the Alligator, and he has been applauded by people on both sides of the aisle for his seemingly progressive piece of legislation. I even found myself commending Rubio until I realized he and the team of senators — a total of five democrats and five republicans — made the same mistake most people are making when it comes to combating sexual assault: They’re focused on the aftermath of rape instead of focusing on disintegrating rape culture.
