Shawn Kelley | Guilty until proven innocent
The presumption of innocence is such a fundamental human right that a majority of democracies, constitutional monarchies, republics and even the UN have written it into their legal codes and constitutions. 11/16/14 11:21pm
Shawn Kelley | Get up, stand up
A feeling of too many problems to be able to affect change has begun to permeate the activism community. Too many problems and too little time. How is a student supposed to spend time contending for a cause, while also keeping up with school work? 11/10/14 9:47pm
Shawn Kelley | From service member to student
Normandy, Iwo Jima, Pusan, Khe Sanh, Fallujah, Kamdesh. For some, these names might not mean much. Maybe they have seen them in history books or have heard the names before. Yet for those who fought, those names and many others are forever branded in their memories. They recall the desperation and the sounds of battle, and most of all, those they fought beside. It is a brotherhood that runs deeper than any fraternity, one that traverses time and location. It is a bond forged in blood and fire. 11/04/14 2:06am

I can think of few other extracurriculars where there is a real possibility of suffering injuries such as concussions, torn ligaments and broken bones, including the spine. 10/15/14 10:55pm
Shawn Kelley | Old school
I am not a doe-eyed freshman who just graduated from high school in the town I spent my whole life in. In fact, there are many students who don’t fit this description at all. Yet there are professors who still give lectures as though their class composition consists of this very stereotype. 10/01/14 10:43pm
Shawn Kelley | Arresto momentum Hermione
While I appreciate Watson’s candor, and don’t wish to take away from her experiences, I scarcely feel that a rich, Caucasian actress from a wealthy, developed nation such as Britain is the best spokesperson for women’s issues on equality. Yes, Emma Watson brings celebrity and media attention, but by making women like her, Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie the spokespeople for these causes, we heedlessly claim that the only voices worth listening to belong to privileged white women. 09/18/14 12:01am
Shawn Kelley | In defense of the president
What’s really telling is when you look at the compensation per $1 million in total expenditures for each institution. Gee was paid $1,332, Zimmer received $1,113 and Gutmann $376. 09/03/14 5:57pm
Shawn Kelley | Heads or Tails

Shawn Kelley | Civility under fire
It is time we stopped the verbal battery of others because we disagree with their opinions, and instead tackle the ideas with which we take issue. 07/15/14 6:05pm
Shawn Kelley | Bursting the comfort bubble
It seems more people are content to hide within their security blankets and pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist. 06/25/14 7:30pm
