Filed under Editorials, Opinion

You can’t open the door on your own. You can’t see the stairs in front of you. You can’t even hear your professor talking. For students with a physical disability, these are everyday problems. And with about 500 students with disabilities on campus, the University of Toledo should be doing more... Read more »

It has been nearly a year since we let students take over the Opinion page to write their thoughts about dining and dining services at the University of Toledo. Since that time, it looks to us that a lot of changes have been made. One of the main student complaints last year was the reduced hours.... Read more »

We found out what is on the University of Toledo’s to-do list for the next year, at Interim President Nagi Naganathan’s 2014 State of the University Address.

Students have protested the lack of information and services for survivors of sexual violence in front of University Hall on Oct. 20.

Where do you like to study? In your house or your dorm? Where do you go when it gets noisy or you are bogged down with distractions? You might go to the library. But the Carlson Library hours changed this year and this has eliminated the most prominent place students can go to study, do homework or just... Read more »

About one in five women have been the victim of attempted or completed sexual assault, and in 2011 over 1.3 million women were raped, according to the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence.

Croutons had a leak of unhealthy water in their back room and they didn't tell the student body about it. Let that sink in for a moment. You could be sick from their food right now. Now that sentiment can seem, at a glance, like fear-mongering. Food was not prepared in the back room where the leak... Read more »

A pipe leaked above the ceiling of Croutons, causing dirty water to seep past the ceiling tiles and onto the floor. This created a messy situation— smelly, brown water trickling down, leaving the room in disorder. Returning students, doesn’t this sound familiar? Broken pipes, and UT waiting... Read more »

Everything you love is bad for you. Cars are just huge hunks of metal that get in crashes and kill people in accidents, have malfunctions and guzzle gas like there’s no tomorrow. Cell phones turn everyone’s minds to mush, robbing people of face-to-face interaction. Soda rots your teeth and dehydrates... Read more »

A game of administrative musical chairs is currently going on at the University of Toledo. The top three positions — president, provost and chancellor — have all been vacated by their former holders within fewer than three months of each other. A bunch of high-level, high-salary decisions might... Read more »

Imagine that you’ve just gone through something so horrific that it consumes every second of your day.

What is Auxiliary Services? It’s where the University of Toledo puts all the student services that don’t have a home, like the student ID card, dining services and the copy center.
