In classic Magnolia State fashion, legislation that discriminates against minority communities has recently gained traction in the legislature. Four Mississippi bills that target the LGBTQ community have progressed forward during this legislation and, in turn, garnered controversy. House Bill 1607, self-righteously named the Women’s Bill of Rights, looks to provide specific definitions for terms like […]
March Madness has been even more exciting than we typically ask for as fans, despite the Ole Miss Men’s Basketball team’s inability to seed in the tournament and the Lady Rebels’ early exit. While the upsets may not be as severe as the spectacles we witnessed last year, underdogs and medium seeds have progressed much […]
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is notorious for its unnecessary complexity. In my case, it took multiple dedicated afternoons to get through the bulk of the application. Legislation introduced in 2020 sought to update the FAFSA, simplify it and make the filing experience less stressful for students and parents seeking financial aid. However, […]
Access to health care must be treated as a human right, not a topic of political divide, and legislators from the Mississippi House showed their commitment to the health of all Mississippians by swiftly passing Medicaid expansion legislation on Feb. 28. Medicaid expansion was deemed a “moral imperative” by House Medicaid Committee Chair Rep. Missy […]
Nearly a third of all states’ primary elections were held this past Tuesday, March 5, hence the moniker “Super Tuesday.” Mississippi’s primary election, though, takes place next Tuesday, March 12, and there are a handful of topics voters need to understand before hitting the polls next week. Primary elections select the official candidates for each […]
Ole Miss is nationally renowned for its vibrant Greek life, consistently placing in the top five on many websites that rank colleges by sorority and fraternity culture. Graduates say the best years of their lives happen at Ole Miss, and they create lasting relationships with those they cross paths with during matriculation. Those feelings of […]
If American politics are in uncharted territory in 2024, Mississippi politics aren’t too far off. Problematic Republican governor? Check. Right-wing idealism steadily increasing in all areas of the bureaucracy? Check. An unnecessary, misled attack on diversity efforts in an evolving educational landscape? Check. Failing infrastructure in areas critical to the state economy? Check. Abortion, of […]
By the close of the 2022-23 Ole Miss Men’s Basketball season, the team proved ill-equipped to compete in the mighty SEC. The 12-21 overall record was the worst winning percentage in nearly 30 years for the Rebels on the court. Even worse, the team put up a bottom-10 conference record in school history, winning only […]
To exist and operate for 175 years is a testament to the adaptability, perseverance and significance of the University of Mississippi. To put things into perspective, about six generations have passed, 35 U.S. presidents have held office and sliced bread was invented in that time. Of course, being around for that long includes times worth […]
Frank E. Everett Jr. famously wrote, “The university is respected, but Ole Miss is loved. The university gives a diploma and regretfully terminates tenure, but one never graduates from Ole Miss.” The quote has been passed down over the years and repeated often when trying to describe the magic that exists here at Ole Miss, […]
