Sean Stoker |Opinions Editor |@theroyalthey I want to make myself painfully, abundantly, astronomically clear. I am not one of those crazy “men’s rights” activists. It’s one thing to feel a little insulted by a stereotype, but something entirely different to play the victim when your demographic has regrettably been the aggressor throughout history. I am […]
On May 1st, The Salt Lake Tribune published a letter signed by approximately 108 members of the faculty and staff of Utah Valley University. The letter, which can be found here, addresses President Holland’s recent participation in an amicus brief filed in the 10th circuit court, in opposition of gay marriage. Faculty and staff who […]
Robby Poffenberger | Opinions editor | [email protected] It’s only a few weeks until thousands of UVU students don caps and gowns. Many of these students are thinking about what kind of citizens they want to be as they enter the post-graduate community. They might be thinking about their families they want to raise, homes they […]
About five months ago, I made an expedition into the plenteous bowels of the UVU library to see for myself just what treasures she held. I was not disappointed.

Throughout the recent UVUSA campaign, an underlying issue completely unrelated to parking has been at the forefront of the minds of the candidates and informed voters. The pressing question of diversity at our ever-expanding […]
Now that elections are over and the dust is settling of excitement, disappointment, and most notably, the campaign publicity is nowhere to be seen – we look to the future. I congratulate Team ONE for being elected UVUSA Executive Council for the 2015-2016 school year and give my empathy to Team UP for putting up […]
The more we talk about rape, the faster misconceptions die By Robby Poffenberger | Opinion editor | [email protected] Let’s recreate a classic Hollywood scene. Two men are arguing. Things go back and forth and the argument escalates in intensity. Finally, one man, in the heat of the moment, says something that silences both of them. Something ignorant […]
Dear Editor, We appreciate the time and attention that UVU has been giving to the important discussion about becoming a Tobacco-Free campus. This has been a topic of conversation for many years across the nation and we are no exception here at UVU. For the last 6 years, we have had student groups who have […]
Letter to the editor | Joey Whitaker | @JosephEarl_III Photo Credit to Gabi Campbell @gabicampbellphotos Updated* I am disappointed in UVU today.
