I don't support ending the suicide hotline. A human should answer the phone instead of giving you all these options. Someone who wants to end their life doesn't have time nor the patience to listen to all the options. Something needs to be done about that. Talking to a REAL person immediately can help save more lives. Improve it not end it!
I graduated my Master of Social Work at CWRU right around when JRL got started. It had never occurred to me in my two years at CWRU to go to Hillel or Chabad services because I knew my values would not align with theirs. I wouldn't be able to be myself or be open with my thoughts and values. There was not a space for Jewish students like me. If JRL existed when I was a student, I would've been able to participate in my faith and culture on campus. It's outrageous and embarrassing that a student government would stand against the recognition of a Jewish student group in 2025. I stand with JRL and urge CWRU to let students exercise their freedom of religion, including when their religious practice means working towards liberation and tikkun olam.
The CWRU administration has consistently positioned itself as an authority on Jewish issues while actively suppressing the Jewish voices that they disagree with. It's frightening to see USG position themselves similarly, allowing for Zionist Jewish groups like Chabad and Hillel to operate under USG, but labeling JRL—a group whose political and social justice motives are implied in their name—as "too cultural" for USG. I stand with my Jewish peers who are seeking to create a safe space for the Jewish community and who feel like the existing Jewish organizations on campus have failed to do so. CWRU needs JRL.
I graduated my Master of Social Work at CWRU. I stand with JRL. It's embarrassing that student government would disclude Jewish student group.
In the end, CWRU and USG are harming their own reputation when they excluding groups fighting for the liberation of all people.
I'm not an LDS member, but I fully support this movement. The scope of animal cruelty in modern factory farms is unimaginable; it's an ethical disaster, and despite this, almost nobody knows about or cares about it.
Dr. Joshua Kelly's passion for theatre and literature has long reaching effects on his students. As a former student, the tools I learned in his classes have carried through to my professional life. Theatre and literature gave me a space to explore individuality, challenge myself critically, and discover the power of my words and performance. These are critical programs that inspire and drive students to succeed and innovate in all areas of life. Cutting these programs is cutting into the heart and passion of current students and preventing new students from getting the chance to discover their voice and find the same acceptance, drive, and success that so many others did.
Theatre is an impactful outlet for so many of those who contribute to the program. Expelling it from the curriculum can take a toll on those in the community that value this form of art. There are so many negative factors that come with being a college student and the theatre is a pure and beautiful way for students to express themselves, do not restrict them from that.
When budget cuts loom, theatre and arts programs are always the first to go. It’s such a shame, because these programs are training future artists y bring joy and value through our world. Is that not worth something? Garden City’s program is clearly a quality one, and these amazing performers deserve a chance to hone their craft.
