Opinion: Survivors of sexual violence require better support from UCLA’s Title IX Office

This post was updated Jan. 17 at 9:55 p.m. Students should feel safe turning to their university and its employees in times of individual struggle. But for some Bruins who have survived sexual violence, seeking out institutional support has not been an ideal experience. Read more...

Photo: In 2016, Bruin Consent Coalition, a campus organization that advocates against sexual assault, set up a board outside of Kerckhoff Hall for students who wanted to offer written support for survivors. In 2022, UCLA still has more to work to do in prioritizing healing-oriented resources for survivors of sexual violence. (Daily Bruin file photo)

Opinion: Metaverse threatens human connection, offers more problems than solutions

You can’t always trust what you see online. But what if online meant something new – something you no longer just see but something you are. Read more...

Photo: The virtual sphere has become a staple of pandemic times – but that doesn’t mean we should replace in-person interactions with online connections. Connecting with others face-to-face will always be important. (Kanishka Mehra/Daily Bruin senior staff)

Opinion: Disabled students at UCLA deserve comprehensive, accessible resources

This post was updated Jan. 10 at 5:24 p.m. For students with physical disabilities, UCLA is anything but inclusive. Our university has failed to provide adequate resources to students with physical disabilities living on the Hill and in university-owned apartments. Read more...

Photo: Murphy Hall is home to the Center for Accessible Education – the main resource hub for disabled Bruins. UCLA must work harder to accommodate students with physical disabilities in a more accessible and timely manner. (Daily Bruin file photo)

Opinion: Open-note assessments offer more flexibility, opportunities to learn

Finals season is once again rearing its head. But these exams look different from the ones students have grown used to during online learning. The return of in-person classes this quarter has brought with it the return of closed-note, timed exams. Read more...

Photo: By this time in the quarter, Bruins are used to pre-pandemic scenes such as this one: students packed into a lecture hall with little wiggle room. However, going back to in-person classes doesn’t have to mean going back to closed note exams. Moving forward, educators should capitalize on the benefits of others forms of assessing student learning. (Daily Bruin file photo)

Opinion: Universities must support women athletes to reduce wage gap, sexism in sports

Basketball, skiing, surfing, golf and even tennis – what do they have in common? In these sports, women are paid significantly less than men. Players in the WNBA, for instance, make on average 1.5% that of NBA players. Read more...

Photo: Women athletes at the collegiate and professional levels are consistently undervalued compared to men. Universities such as UCLA should address this inequity by supporting women student-athletes as best as they can. (Kanishka Mehra/Daily Bruin senior staff)

Opinion: UC system should adjust US history requirement to improve quality of education

The University of California claims its mission is to provide societal benefits through education and knowledge. But at the moment, it puts the weight of its students’ United States history education on the shoulders of the high school education system. Read more...

Photo: High schools do a poor job of teaching students about structural racism and the lived experiences of communities of color. With the exception of one campus, UC undergraduate campuses should not allow students to satisfy the American history and institutions requirement with high school history classes.

Opinion: Visas should not deter international students from studying non-STEM subjects

Being a recent graduate is hard enough. But finding work as an international student can be even harder. To help address that problem, the Optional Practical Training program helps international students gain work experience in the U.S. Read more...
