You may have seen headlines in 2018: Two University of Michigan professors refused to write letters advocating for a student to study abroad in Israel. This was in tandem with an effort for an academic boycott of Israel. Barring students from academic freedom is the exact opposite of what a university should promote. The two professors were part of a larger effort of the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement to suspend study abroad programs in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Join me in a game. Let’s pretend we live in a society without the remnants of unbalanced power, poor economic strength and lacking resources. Virtually every component that once structured the experience of being Black in America is gone. Employment, wealth, education, housing accessibility, general mobility and healthcare services are available freely to everyone. There are no systemic barriers or disparities. Illegal firearms aren’t flooding certain neighborhoods. Children aren’t being killed after playing football. Moms aren’t shielding their children from the blasts of a semi-automatic rifle during a mass shooting in broad daylight. The term "first-gen" is used as a punchline to some of the funniest jokes. Every school is equipped with adequate resources to produce competent young people. We are living in bliss.

The task seemed simple enough: Read articles, fact check them, and fix any grammar, style, or spelling errors before the article is published, for two hours, twice a week. I joined The Daily Pennsylvanian’s copy department because copy editing seemed like the kind of job that I would enjoy. I like rules and fixing things, completing one task, and then moving right on to the next. In my first two years at the DP as a copy associate, the DP was a contained experience, merely one part of my life at Penn. Eventually, I went from copy associate to copy editor, and as I started leading the department, it became difficult to tell the difference between my life at the DP and my life outside of the DP.
