It’s no secret that Auburn University has some big issues ahead of it.
Editorial
As a growing city, Auburn is continuously facing new and unexpected problems. There have been loud, public debates about building height limits, zoning regulations, short-term rentals and a multitude of other issues that are consequences of a growing population.
Correction: The Plainsman wrongly stated that CoreCivic had been accused of stealing $20 million from a previous prison construction bid in Kansas. According to reporting by The Kansas City Star, the governor of Kansas, Laura Kelly, said she felt "hoodwinked" by CoreCivic, Inc. The state signed a deal with the company to construct a prison facility and to temporarily house 600 Kansas inmates in a CoreCivic facility in Arizona. The Plainsman also assessed the private prisons to be human-rights violating companies — a characterization that has not been thoroughly proven. We sincerely regret the errors and apologize to our readers.
Last week, the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center officially opened its doors. With a construction timeline lasting more than two years and a budget of over $70 million, this performing arts center is one of the most expensive building projects that Auburn University has ever completed.
In a recent report, the Princeton Review ranked Auburn students as being the happiest in the country.
