In response to this influx of students, UF has created a paradoxical, poorly thought-out solution. As more students come in, fewer dorms are available.
To me, Fishback’s appeal feels driven more by charisma and momentum rather than careful conservative policy debate.
Fans love the underdog story. But less talked about is the other side of success: the challenge of defending the crown.
At UF, there is a real difference between defending free speech and accepting a campus culture in which the loudest, most provocative voices dominate shared spaces. That is where the issue becomes more complicated.
If a bad actor brings a weapon onto campus because they do not care about the law, and every responsible adult nearby is prohibited from defending students, the imbalance is obvious. The bill attempts to correct that imbalance without abandoning oversight.
COVID-19 did not simply interrupt schooling; it altered how we read. Remote instruction rewarded efficiency over depth. Faced with shortened periods, screen fatigue and constant digital distractions, students adapted by reading strategically rather than attentively.
This album is not a casual listening experience. This album demands your full attention.
My generation is tired of the world being wrong and the adults saying it’s OK. Now, we care enough to do something about it. No more playing the damsel.
In that sense, Nashville did not feel completely foreign at all. It felt like a louder, more scaled-up version of something I already recognized. I left the city thinking less about whether one version of nationalism is better than the other and more about how much history shapes the way a country presents itself.
In Gainesville, roughly 5,000 miles from Milan, my teammates and I watched Hughes and the Americans make history. We listened to the national anthem play as they raised the American flag, and the team soaked in the glory of what they just accomplished. Ironically, just a few hours later, we took to the court and listened to the national anthem for the second time that day, played before our match.
On Feb. 26, the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team took home the gold medal for the first time in over four decades. Directly after the win, the team spoke with Trump on the phone, and the president facetiously claimed he would be forced to invite the women’s team to celebrate alongside the men. If he didn’t, Trump said, they would “impeach him.”
The gatherings on Feb. 14 were a reminder that movements for dignity and representation do not remain confined within national boundaries. They echo through families, communities and diasporas worldwide. Whether or not this revolution succeeds, it changed the landscape and politics of the Middle East and the world.
Online voting in student government elections is not unheard of. Florida State University already utilizes online elections.
When you reach the ballot box on election day, you vote for the people. When the votes are tallied up, they are tallied by party.
But is it actually worth the hype? Could this scoop of white powder help Florida basketball defend its title come March?
With local control back in the hands of Gainesville residents, there’s now an opportunity to advocate for cleaner, more affordable energy by encouraging the city to eliminate the possibility of any new gas plants and instead invest in renewable energy.
In the gubernatorial primary, a divisive, confrontational campaign style does more than energize voters; it tests the party’s internal cohesion.
FLEX has worsened the lives of both students and Gainesville residents. Here’s how.
Back home in Ireland, sport is tied first to geographic location. Even if you never played, you usually belong to something: a club, a parish or a county. The Gaelic Athletic Association organizes Ireland’s main indigenous sports, Gaelic football and hurling, through local clubs. Because it relies on volunteers and local pride, sport ends up woven into ordinary social life.
As I stood jetlagged in Plaza Mayor the morning I landed, I couldn’t help but think about all my friends who were together in Gainesville. Meanwhile, I was alone and halfway across the world in a country where I barely spoke the language.
