Letters to the editor: Community reacts to MSU, Nassar
"Today, I am so ashamed that I went to Michigan State University."
"Today, I am so ashamed that I went to Michigan State University."
You are no longer a victim. You are a survivor. You are free.
At this point, MSU, you have a decision to make: Will you own up to mistakes and try to rebuild with the rest of the community, or will you become nothing more than “Michigan State University, Home of the Larry Nassar Scandal”?
If we survivors have to bear our scars, I pray to God you feel the sting of the whip too.
Simon, if you’re the Spartan you claim to be, you will step down and bow out gracefully. We hope you make the right choice, because time’s up.
We can do better, and we will. That’s our promise to an audience that’s much more diverse than our coverage suggests. We want to be every student’s voice.
Until the Spartans toughen up in road games, their wishes of winning a National Championship will stay just that. Wishes.
Maybe the Lansing State Journal is right. Maybe Simon does need to resign. This silent attitude is all the administration knows, as we’ve seen. But as of right now, we don’t know if she’d be replaced by anyone better.
The allegations are no more. They happened.
After MSU’s 63-45 win over reigning National Champion and then-No. 9-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels Sunday night, Spartan fans can finally measure the team’s growth since last season.
The script has officially been flipped.
What a season it’s been for the Spartans.
Know that as student leaders, we are taking leadership into our own hands to create a better campus climate for behavioral health.
No, it's Rivalry Week around college football — and is it going to be glorious.
Certainly not everyone has to like Thanksgiving, just like not everyone has to like Halloween or Christmas or any other holiday. But I think everyone should give it more attention than it’s getting.
The city and university should not feel as if they’re competing entities, one successful and the other failing. They should function as what they are: symbiont.
If you’re the type of fan able to put a positive spin on MSU’s blowout loss to Ohio State, I’ll respect the hell out of that. The journey will be long. An honorable, noble task that should be celebrated, really.
Racism now is all the things said and unsaid that contribute to the undermining of what people of color have been trying to tell us for years. Racism is alive and well, people feel it, people see it, why can’t we?
Do not give the city money for its own incompetence. Do not reward them for failing to fix its financial issues. Do not be lured into a false idea that this tax is going to turn their situation around.
So let’s come together to rightfully acknowledge and crown this MSU offense for its desperate need to deliver down the stretch; shock a poor group of fans who just want a comfortable, blowout win.
