GUEST ROOM | Teaching in a Time of Crisis
1 min ago Opinion By Peter Shipman | 1 min ago As a Freshman Writing Seminar instructor, one of the first things I tell my students is that “an assignment should never take precedence over your mental health.” I design my classes to adhere to this principle as much as possible, in order to respect my students’ agency and their overall well-being in a system that for the most part respects neither. My class has deadlines, but they are always flexible.
GUEST ROOM | Saving Face, Losing Lives: The Political Importance of Cornell Suicides
Why is it that when we hear about hate crimes on campus, we can easily interpret such acts as political, systemically determined events — and are thus moved to anger — but when we hear of a student committing suicide in her own dorm room, all that we have to offer is our sympathy? Rather than reading her suicide as political, we deem it merely personal; a grieving process is initiated, and in a few weeks, the rest of the world moves on.
NBA Analytics - NBA Wire Basketball News - NBAwire
Like a stubborn parent unwilling to adapt to an increasingly digital world, Charles Barkley recently delivered a rant during which he attacked data-driven Rockets GM Daryl Morey and denounced basketball analytics as a practice. “Analytics don’t work at all. It’s just some crap some people who are really smart made up to try to get in the game because they had no talent,” Barkley proclaimed during a segment of TNT’s Inside The NBA.
Westbrook, Antetokounmpo Named NBA players of the Week
Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook, and Milwaukee swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo were named the NBA Western and Eastern conference players of the week, respectively, for their efforts in games played Feb. 2-8. Antetokounmpo averaged 19.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists on 63% shooting for the week, while leading the Bucks to a 3-1 record. The 20-year-old posted double-doubles in 3 of the 4 games, and registered career bests in points (27) and rebounds (15) during that stretch.
Jazz Continue to Improve, Hayward Takes High Road
Keep your heads up Jazz fans. A 4th place standing in the Northwest Division is nothing to boast about, but there are plenty of reasons for the folks in Salt Lake City to be optimistic. It’s been 13 years since the last Stockton-to-Malone connection, and Utah has been waiting for their replacements ever since. But it’s time to move on. The Jazz have new management, a fiery young coach, and a talented young group of players that are above all, humble and willing to work.
Spurs Welcome New Year
The San Antonio Spurs could not have been happier to watch the ball drop this year. After an unsurprisingly hot start to the season, December brought a cold front through San Antonio that left them jockeying for position in a crowded Western Conference. They finished the month 8-10, marking the first losing month for the Spurs during the Tim Duncan era.
Harden and Butler Named NBA Players of the Week

Harden led the Rockets to a 2-1 week with wins over division leaders Portland and Memphis. He averaged 34.7 points, 7.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 steals. It was his second time winning the award in three weeks, and he’s stretched his lead on LeBron as the NBA’s leading scorer.
