As the Vice President for Academic Affairs in the Student Government Association, it is my job to hear student concerns and issues about anything relating to their academic needs. One of the recent concerns I have been addressing is the increase in the price of the dialogue program. The increased prices will go into effect this year and will impact any future students who participate in these programs.
As shocking as it may (or may not) be, I, a columnist at a student newspaper in Boston, support the reelection of Barack Obama.
I have many reasons for doing so: I believe the healthcare industry was in dire need of regulation, I believe in equal rights for all regardless...
On behalf of the Northeastern hockey coaching staff, support system and student athletes, I would like to personally thank each and every one of you in attendance for Saturday night’s win against Boston College. In my long tenure as a Husky, I can truly say that night at Matthews...
As both a student and a student advocate, I was troubled to see an editorial in [the Oct. 4 issue of] The News detailing some major problems with on-campus services, particularly in the areas of the housing selection process and dining, among other more minor concerns that are...
On Tuesday, members of the Huntington News editorial board sat down with university President Joseph E. Aoun for a 45-minute interview. The conversation covered topics ranging from the price of tuition to ways to end the men’s hockey Beanpot drought. The interview was cordial...
Fellow students: While President Aoun speaks in his annual state of the university address about the unprecedented donation to the newly minted D’Amore-McKim School of Business, Northeastern’s international vision, national rankings and unmatched experiential learning opportunities,...

The visible struggle of workers’ rights has cast a dim shadow on Northeastern’s campus in recent months. From dining hall workers’ victorious and liberating efforts to unionize last spring to the janitors’ triumph last week in settling a progressive contract, Northeastern...
In just over a month, American citizens will be asked to vote for the next president of this country. Every four years, we are presented with at least two candidates and asked to learn about their beliefs and political strategy, and then make a decision as to which would be better for the country and go to the polls to cast our vote.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made his last official splash in New York this week, giving his eighth and final address as Iran’s president to the United Nations General Assembly. Why a Holocaust-denying, genocidal leader of an oppressive regime is invited to speak at the United Nations, however, is beyond me.
As most students know, Northeastern has a housing problem. Area residents agree; as they have many times before, Northeastern’s neighbors aired their complaints at a community meeting September 20.
