The question posed to our editorial staff was: In our ever-changing society, people have defined “equity” and “community” in many different ways. How do you define these terms and what are their implications of equity and community for our 21st century society.
Editorial Conversations: Sustainability
Lehigh should be factually and intellectually honest when it comes to sustainability. Currently, most of Lehigh’s efforts to become more sustainable revolve around small changes – things that cost little and accomplish even less…
Editorial Conversations: Sustainability
The sustainability movement must first be realistic about its goals. Opponents justifiably bristle at the suggestion that we can save the environment, lower tuition and overtake the Ivy League just by switching to fluorescent light bulbs…
Editorial Conversations: Sustainability
Lehigh can increase its sustainability and decrease its carbon footprint by abiding two principles of leadership…
Editorial Conversations: Sustainability
Lehigh needs to move incrementally in order to become more sustainable. The STEPS building is a huge investment in sustainability, however it reflects the university’s reluctance to disturb the status quo…
Editorial Conversations: Sustainability
Sustainability. It sounds good, doesn’t it? And it’s a win-win, too… or so they say. After all, what could be wrong with using less – waste not want not, and of course, we save money, which is good, right?

Editorial Conversations: Lehigh’s Alcohol Policy
With that said, Lehigh’s goal should be to create a system where underage students can drink responsibly without fear of legal troubles. Certainly, Lehigh does need to react to and set consequences for drinking that is dangerous to the individual in question or others…
Editorial Conversations: Lehigh’s Alcohol Policy
The drinking age debate is doomed. The most passionate advocates for reform have three years to make their case. Then one day, they miraculously stop caring, or worse, they join the opposition…
Editorial Conversations: Lehigh’s Alcohol Policy
Last year, President Gast voiced her concerns with signing the Amethyst Initiative, leaving the administration with fewer options involving cooperation with the Student Senate on the issue of underage alcohol consumption…

Editorial Conversations: Healthcare

Editorial Conversations: Greek Week
The question posed to our editors was: Should Greek Week have been canceled for 2010?
Editorial Conversations: Greek Week
Last year, Greek week was a week-long period of perpetual drunkenness for some, and near perpetual drunkenness for others…
Editorial Conversations: Greek Week
Has Greek Week really been canceled? I’m sure Lehigh’s fraternities and sororities will use the valuable life skills instilled by their “new member education” to pull together…
Editorial Conversations: Healthcare
Our current system isn’t perfect. But no system is. Our system is great for those who have it, which is evidenced by the high percentage of people in polls who like their current insurer…
Editorial Conversations: Greek Week
Before I weigh in on this topic wholeheartedly, I offer full disclosure: I’ve written about the Greeks only once before – in my piece entitled Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite…
Editorial Conversations: Healthcare
Two words: Public option. Note that this modest, hardly even progressive measure does not amount to a “government takeover” of health care…
Editorial Conversations: Healthcare
