  Mike Adams
  In my many years of serving on faculty hiring committees, I have often heard the statement “minorities and women are encouraged to apply.” It usually follows in close proximity to the statement “our institution does not discriminate on the basis of race.” The two statements cannot be reconciled by logic.

• Mourning Trayvon Martin Tue Apr 10
  Harry R. Jackson, Jr.
  As we mourn the death of Trayvon Martin, we should take the time to remember another 17-year-old black youth murdered just four years ago.

According to police, Shaw was walking home when two men he had never met jumped out of a car and one shot him. ... more
