Values, honesty should be welcomed

Sarah Palin, perhaps one of the most controversial figures in America today, is coming to Salt Lake City on Wednesday as part of her Going Rogue book tour. If her previous book signings are any indication, we can expect a few thousand people to converge at the Salt Lake Costco to get an autograph.

Fans need patience for MUSS

Board, IT dept should have tested system first

Last spring, the online server hosting MUSS sign-ups crashed because of the sheer volume of fans seeking preferential seating. This year, despite some measures taken by the MUSS Board to prevent a similar problem, the server crashed again. Although the repetitive failure of MUSS sign-ups can be frustrating, fans should try demonstrating moderation before seeking the board’s crucifixion.

Bill would drive funds away from U

Apparently, Utah legislators weren’t satisfied after applying a series of drastic budget cuts to higher education. As if the U didn’t have enough funding issues to worry about, the Legislature is now discussing a bill that could drive some private donations toward extinction.

Budget needs intervention of Legislature

Last year, Utah higher education was spared the worst of severe budget cuts thanks to a one-time government bailout, courtesy of President Barack Obama. But with the state budget still in turmoil and higher education facing additional cuts, few people seemed less likely to fill Obama’s shoes in 2010 than Gov. Gary Herbert.

Legislation punishes deserving students

In 2002, Utah lawmakers did something marvelous for social justice, higher education and the state. They passed House Bill 144, a bill that allows undocumented students who are in good academic standing and have been in a Utah high school for three years to receive in-state tuition.

Bill would hurt integrity of Utah education system

In the state of Utah, we offer education to all residents within our community. In fact, education is deemed so important that we mandate education until high school graduation. However, the Legislature’s most recent bill, House Bill 428, suggests that education is no longer for all Utah residents.
