There is currently a law on the books that makes it harder for roads to be safe, artificially increases the price of common goods — like gas and food — and has crippled the state of shipping in the U.S. The impact of this law cannot be overstated, but it is shocking that many Americans are unaware of its existence.

With the holiday season nearly upon us, I, like many others, have already spent more money than I would have liked.

In the vast landscape of contemporary discussions on gender, the term "female gaze" has emerged as a compelling and frequently debated topic.

BENITEZ: Female gaze does not exist

Any given American is likely to be monolingual. In 2019, approximately 3 out of 4 people in the U.S. were only able to speak English. Of the remaining population, approximately 20 percent can speak another language. While that number has almost tripled in the past 40 years, it still lags far behind other countries.

Maplewood, New Jersey, has officially banned all Halloween celebrations during school hours, inciting both outrage and praise from parents and administrators alike.

EDITORIAL: Should holidays be celebrated in New Jersey public schools?

Election Day was last Tuesday, but the question is, did you make it to the polls? It is pretty easy for Americans to skip out on their civic duty when Election Day falls on a weekday and when participating in elections is not mandated by the government. But perhaps it should be.

EDITORIAL: Americans should be required to vote

In University President Jonathan Holloway's recent Stakeholder's Address on October 24, he mentioned an op-ed he had written for The New York Times in 2021, titled "To Unite a Divided America, Make People Work for It." The piece was included in a series that gathered radical solutions to rekindle the so-called American spirit.

On October 24, the NHL reversed its controversial ban on rainbow-colored pride stick tape. While players are now permitted to use colored stick tape to show their support for social causes in the LGBTQ+ community, they still cannot wear themed jerseys that seek to accomplish the same goal: expressing their solidarity in a very visible way.

Witnessing the horrors committed in southern Israel invoked in me the worst memories from the pages of Jewish history. Hamas' heinous torture and slaughter of men, women and children in unimaginably cruel fashions could only be compared with the pogroms once endemic to Europe, which ultimately culminated in the Holocaust, thus destroying Europe as a center of Jewish life.

COMMENTARY: My Middle-Eastern heritage is ignored in campus discourse

Every 43 seconds, a child dies of pneumonia, which is unacceptable, as these deaths are preventable. I am writing to raise awareness about a concerning issue for our community, our country and our world as we recognized World Pneumonia Day on Sunday.

We are faculty, staff, administrators and graduate employees across the three campuses of Rutgers, the largest public University of New Jersey, one of the most diverse states in this country.

I am writing in response to the October 31 letter to the editor, "Why Holocaust inversions are antisemitic," in which the author writes movingly about their own family's horrific experience during the Holocaust.

We all know the stereotype that morning people are the most productive type of people. They wake up at 5 a.m. and start their day with a cold shower before heading to the gym for their early morning workout.

I have always felt conflicted about family and couple's channels on YouTube. They are the epitome of oversharing online, yet everyone seems guilty of consuming their content in some capacity — myself included.

ON THE FRONT LINES: Why influencer couples should exclude their children from social media content

On Saturday, Cardi B was captured on video launching her microphone at a fan who decided to throw their drink at the rapper while she was performing "Bodak Yellow" on stage. Concertgoers chucking random objects at artists is nothing new, but no one in the industry has retaliated against this popular yet dangerous trend quite like Cardi B (at least as of late).

ON THE FRONT LINES: Concert attendees must be held accountable for throwing objects at artists

As a first-year student, I wrote a column entitled, "Professionalism comes at cost of personal expression, freedom," in which I discussed an identity crisis I was grappling with at the time — one that I still wrestle with to this day. At the time, I was a student at Rutgers Business School considering a major in marketing, supply chain management or finance accompanied by an English major.
