Opinion: Survivors of sexual violence require better support from UCLA’s Title IX Office

This post was updated Jan. 17 at 9:55 p.m. Students should feel safe turning to their university and its employees in times of individual struggle. But for some Bruins who have survived sexual violence, seeking out institutional support has not been an ideal experience. Read more...

Photo: In 2016, Bruin Consent Coalition, a campus organization that advocates against sexual assault, set up a board outside of Kerckhoff Hall for students who wanted to offer written support for survivors. In 2022, UCLA still has more to work to do in prioritizing healing-oriented resources for survivors of sexual violence. (Daily Bruin file photo)

Opinion: Metaverse threatens human connection, offers more problems than solutions

You can’t always trust what you see online. But what if online meant something new – something you no longer just see but something you are. Read more...

Opinion: Disabled students at UCLA deserve comprehensive, accessible resources

This post was updated Jan. 10 at 5:24 p.m. For students with physical disabilities, UCLA is anything but inclusive. Our university has failed to provide adequate resources to students with physical disabilities living on the Hill and in university-owned apartments. Read more...

Opinion: Open-note assessments offer more flexibility, opportunities to learn

Finals season is once again rearing its head. But these exams look different from the ones students have grown used to during online learning. The return of in-person classes this quarter has brought with it the return of closed-note, timed exams. Read more...

Photo: By this time in the quarter, Bruins are used to pre-pandemic scenes such as this one: students packed into a lecture hall with little wiggle room. However, going back to in-person classes doesn’t have to mean going back to closed note exams. Moving forward, educators should capitalize on the benefits of others forms of assessing student learning. (Daily Bruin file photo)
