KOZLOWSKI: Educational paywalls unfairly harm students

As I get older, I am beginning to realize that I am getting to an age where having a child is somewhat socially acceptable, and that scares me. Being that I am only 20 years old, it is common to see people my age have a kid but not get married, which I find disturbing.

Intersectionality explains how systems of power perpetuate oppression and privilege based on multiple social identities (e.g., ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, ability, religion). Kimberlé Crenshaw, an American critical legal race scholar, coined the term in 1989 to capture the unique challenges faced by Black women, who often experience discrimination at the intersection of race and gender.

Are the boys doing alright? For some, it may feel a bit odd to ask this question. Men have had more privileges in the U.S. than women have.

For many years, the gold standard of college education in the U.S. was the Northeast. Some might myopically just focus on the Ivy League institutions, but schools like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), New York University and Carnegie Mellon University match up with Ivy League universities in terms of prestige.

In the late 1970s, the U.S. experienced a period of rapid inflation, which affected nearly every sector of the economy, including higher education. To make college more affordable, the government expanded federal student loan programs. What was meant to make higher education accessible, instead fueled a cycle of cost inflation that has burdened generations of students with crippling debt.

This Sunday, the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics concluded. The world witnessed humanity's peak physical capabilities. Many records were broken, and memorable moments occurred, but it was nice that the world could put aside some of its differences to watch this kind of event.

2024 has undoubtedly been a year for elections worldwide. From the U.S. to Taiwan, democracy is on the ballot. The biggest takeaway from the recent elections has been a resurgence of liberals. If 2016 was the global conservative wave, 2024 could be considered the global liberal wave.
