| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Christa Kuntzelman, The Washington Post "If the U.K.-Rwanda agreement follows the trend of other European outsourcing efforts, it won’t guarantee safety and rights as promised. It will, instead, legitimize anti-immigrant racism within the U.K., while leaving those seeking protection in continued precarity," Christa Kuntzelman writes in The Washington Post. |  From Steven Lubet, NBC News "Mizelle’s reliance on a half-definition was a judicial sleight of hand, creating the appearance of reasoning plucked out of thin air. Without the previously unknown principle of radical linguistic dissection and definitional exclusivity that she applies, her opinion collapses into an obviously political argument with no underpinning in law," Steven Lubet writes in NBC News. |  From Zachary Clopton, Chicago Tribune "For most of us, something just feels wrong with many of these nationwide injunctions. It doesn’t seem fair that a single judge could block a policy that applies to citizens across the country. It also seems undemocratic to allow a judge who wasn’t elected by the people to override the will of elected officials in Congress and the White House. ... But not everything that is bad is unconstitutional; sometimes reform is better than abolition," Zachary Clopton writes in the Chicago Tribune. |  From Nancy Qian, The Korea Times "The apparent success of the zero-COVID strategy has been a source of pride for the Chinese people, and the country's leadership has touted it as a sign of China's superiority. Ironically, however, the government's political stake in the strategy's early success has become a barrier to recovery," Nancy Qian writes in The Korea Times. |  From Madeline Perry, Danika Barry, Chicago Tribune "It is imperative that (Gov. J.B.) Pritzker sign Senate Bill 3682 as amended. With this legislation, we can take a step forward to ending cervical cancer for future generations and set Illinois on course to be the first state in the nation to eliminate cervical cancer," Madeline Perry and Danika Barry write with a co-author in the Chicago Tribune. |  From Candy Lee, Inside Higher Ed "If you are a smart and eager student, willing to learn, and you demonstrate you can master or excel at the subject, then I, as your instructor, should be willing to work very hard to make your learning experience one that is successful and worthy of an A," Candy Lee writes in Inside Higher Ed. |  From Rebecca Zorach, Hyperallergic "Monuments shape public space by illustrating who belongs in a city and who the city belongs to. ... In placing Columbus on a pedestal, the city invites us to see him as a symbol of something admirable. And by now it's clear that the man and his actions were not admirable," Rebecca Zorach writes in Hyperallergic. |
