Black Struggles in 2025

1 month ago | thedmonline.com | Justice Rose

Reading Time: 4 mins read For more than 62 years, the University of Mississippi has been an integrated institution of higher learning — thanks to civil rights activists’ well-documented, deliberate struggles during that time. Depending on the metric of time measurement you choose, that period is equivalent to two or three generations that have lived in a fully integrated society — at least in theory. We all know how these rule changes played out in reality.

Reading Time: 3 mins read The close margins between the two leading candidates in the 2024 election are reflected here on our campus — like nearly other place in the country. While this election season is soon to conclude, the ideas and circumstances that influence it will still prevail long after. This polarized environment also brings to light the significant presence of a conservative student base at the University of Mississippi.

Reading Time: 4 mins read With the 2024 presidential election just days away, most vote projections show what is practically a tie between candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, with Harris leading by a percentage point or less. This narrow margin illustrates the stark division among citizens on many key issues. Considering such polarization, my collegiate editorial promoting one candidate over another might not have the most profound impact.

Oct 21, 2024 | thedmonline.com | Fred Williams |Justice Rose

Reading Time: 4 mins read I can distinctly remember many elections prior to this upcoming one being publicized as the most important one. While branding like that is effective, it builds a boy who cried wolf reputation with people after seeing it time and time again. Despite this, with what is at stake statewide, nationally and globally, I do think this is the most important election us college-aged students have ever witnessed.

Legalized discrimination: New laws threaten LGBTQ community

Apr 4, 2024 | thedmonline.com | Justice Rose

Reading Time: 3 mins read In classic Magnolia State fashion, legislation that discriminates against minority communities has recently gained traction in the legislature. Four Mississippi bills that target the LGBTQ community have progressed forward during this legislation and, in turn, garnered controversy. House Bill 1607, self-righteously named the Women’s Bill of Rights, looks to provide specific definitions for terms like man, woman, mother, father, etc.

Reading Time: 3 mins read March Madness has been even more exciting than we typically ask for as fans, despite the Ole Miss Men’s Basketball team’s inability to seed in the tournament and the Lady Rebels’ early exit. While the upsets may not be as severe as the spectacles we witnessed last year, underdogs and medium seeds have progressed much further than anticipated.
Unfair FAFSA: New rules make financial aid less accessible TO students.

Mar 28, 2024 | thedmonline.com | Justice Rose

Reading Time: 2 mins read The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is notorious for its unnecessary complexity. In my case, it took multiple dedicated afternoons to get through the bulk of the application. Legislation introduced in 2020 sought to update the FAFSA, simplify it and make the filing experience less stressful for students and parents seeking financial aid. However, these changes have caused new challenges to arise.

Reading Time: 3 mins read Access to health care must be treated as a human right, not a topic of political divide, and legislators from the Mississippi House showed their commitment to the health of all Mississippians by swiftly passing Medicaid expansion legislation on Feb. 28. Medicaid expansion was deemed a “moral imperative” by House Medicaid Committee Chair Rep. Missy McGee.
