Reading Time: 2 minutes Dear Editor: We are very pleased to see Michael Jones February 3rd article “True Wolverine. It’s On Us.” and his challenge to UVU students to live up to the principles of the “It’s On Us” campaign. True Wolverine is a great tradition for all the reasons listed by Mr. Jones, but the events described by […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute What people fail to realize with news sources like Fox News, and MSNBC, is that they are not really news networks, and the people working there are not necessarily journalist. These networks would be more appropriately termed news commentary or news entertainment, sense they rarely report on stories that they have put together, but merely […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes To whom it may concern (and it should concern all of you): It seems you have among you, masquerading as news writers with researched opinions, juveniles with an axe to grind. First I’d like to direct your attention to Clay Neville, the one claiming responsibility for the “No sexual safety on campus” article. A […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes As I was leaving the amazing Vagina Monologues performance tonight, I was talking to a friend who had tried to buy her tickets through Campus Connection, but they wouldn’t sell them to her.

I take full responsibility for all of the tweets mentioned on my Twitter page. Although the inappropriate tweets were lyrics from songs, they were still hurtful to […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes For much of the academic year the UVU Review and many students are silent or otherwise ambivalent about student government (UVUSA). Now that elections are upon us, UVUSA and its aspiring leaders are taking center stage – literally (for Tuesday’s debate) and figuratively in the public arena. As in past years, opinions articles have recently […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes On Halloween, I saw some UVU students in blackface. This is an open letter to them. As my students will tell you, it’s rare for me to be speechless. But when I saw you on campus on Halloween, wearing brown face paint and huge Afro wigs, I was unable to form words. Now that […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes I read both articles titled “The death of liberal arts education” and “Failure to create an academic community.” I felt that both had a snobby attitude. You said in your paper that the world would be barren if the social sciences, humanities, philosophy and art were no longer a part of the educational dialogue. You […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes As the legislative session nears its closure in the next couple of days, I would like to inform you of what Utah Valley University is facing in terms of receiving state funding.
