If it’s true that The Maroon falsely claimed to have asked Nevin Hall for a comment on the article, there has been a serious violation of journalistic integrity which may have nudged votes.

Meet Lawrence Reed.
He is facing terrorism charges after setting a 26-year-old woman on fire aboard a Chicago train.
According to reports, he doused her in gasoline and ignited it saying “burn alive b*tch.”
Reed has been arrested 49 times. FORTY-NINE. 10 of them being felonies. And yet judges kept putting him back on the streets.
They failed to protect the public. They failed that young woman.
This tragedy was preventable, and the judges who enabled it need to be held accountable.
🚨5 Radical pro-Palestine agitators make 5 separate major disruptions over the course of Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s event at the University of Chicago.
Are these disruptions antithetical to the principles of free speech?
The UK is arresting more people for “offensive online activities” than Russia is. What is the future of free speech in the west, in countries where we took free inquiry for granted?

BREAKING: University of Chicago Students Anonymously Threaten to Murder UChicago TPUSA Members at Campus TPUSA Booth

BREAKING: University of Chicago students anonymously call for the death of UChicago TPUSA president @TylerShasteen at a TPUSA booth set up on campus. The University has been notified.
@TheFIREorg
Regardless of how you feel about Charlie Kirk or George Floyd, the repercussions for their deaths are really important.
One caused mobs of angry people to violently protest and burn buildings across the country.
Another caused masses of people to come together and pray for a better world.
If @UChicago actively supports the violent one but says nothing about the one with peaceful reactions, is the university really fostering a violence-free and safe community?
Did @UChicago lose its institutional neutrality?
One week has passed since Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the University hasn’t said anything.
In 2020, after George Floyd’s death, the University was quick to put out statements of support.
