LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Administration’s lack of response speaks loud enough

It is surprising and discouraging that the University’s administration has not yet issued a formal statement addressing the issue. Remaining silent on this issue is unacceptable; indifference reverberates in widening circles and is felt by each of us. 

LETTER TO THE EDITOR | 'Homophobic’ professor flubs science, nature, ethics

By Nate Hardy | Associate Professor | November 15

A couple of weeks ago, AU associate professor Bruce Murray was called out for publicly expressing homophobic views.

Here’s the thing — his scholarship is poor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR | All should be afforded free speech

By Bruce Murray | Associate Professor | November 6

As faculty members in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching, we believe that no student at Auburn University, or at any educational institution, should encounter language or practices that devalue their personhood or humanity.

By Bruce Murray | Associate Professor | October 31

The First Amendment was specifically written to protect political speech, without which a self-governing people cannot make well-informed judgments.

OPINION | Let's discuss climate change

By David Newton | Retired AU Faculty | October 28

Instead of fossil fuels, we should switch to clean, renewable energy, such as solar and wind power — with storage. Other states in the southeast are taking positive steps. I am unaware of similar actions in Alabama. We need discussion, planning and action without delay.  

OPINION | Doug Jones fights for Alabama

OPINION | The Tigers can win well, and they can lose well. We all should be proud

By Lee Auman | Guest Columnist | April 9

The fact that our players controlled their unimaginable and justified frustration speaks volumes about their character. It also means that if they aren't angry with the refs, we can't be either.

OPINION | Surely, our community can do better than The Auburn Creed

By Letter to the Editor | October 4

It’s depressing to read the hymns of praise in favor of the Auburn Creed because it really is an embarrassingly awful document.
