NEWS | The University of Alabama issued guidelines

NEWS | The University of Alabama issued guidelines for faculty that align with the passage of SB129, a controversial Alabama state law that, among other things, restricts DEI policies and prohibits endorsements of “divisive concepts.” These new guidelines highlight potential interactions with “divisive concepts” and formalize a new list of do’s and don’ts for classroom discussion and instruction.

From the start of the fall semester, SB129’s impact could be felt across campus, from the changes to funding for student organizations to the shuttering of the Safe Zone and offices of the Black Student Union. These outcomes were the result of SB129’s anti-DEI sections, preventing the University from sponsoring or promoting any DEI programs. The consequences of SB129’s “divisive concept” restrictions were more uncertain, however.

“[SB129] is vague, and what its implications will actually look like are not totally clear,” said Beth Ann Powers, an associate member in the University of Cincinnati Law Review.

SPORTS | After Alabama football finished its regul

SPORTS | After Alabama football finished its regular season with a 28-14 win over Auburn to move to 9-3, the team has left its fate in the hands of the College Football Playoff committee.

The committee responded to the Crimson Tide’s win by putting Alabama at No. 11 in its most recent rankings, which as of now would send the team on a trip to play Notre Dame in the first round of the playoffs. However, the Crimson Tide isn’t out of the woods yet. Due to the automatic bids for the five highest-ranked conference champions, the team could find itself out of the playoff if No. 18 Clemson can beat No. 8 SMU in the ACC championship.

Alabama will almost certainly be in the playoff if SMU wins over Clemson. But if Clemson wins, a debate will be had on if the Crimson Tide will secure the final playoff spot over SMU. There also is a potential scenario of No. 12 Miami or No. 14 South Carolina potentially jumping in the rankings on Selection Sunday.

NEWS | On Tuesday, over a dozen members of the group Bama Students for Palestine and Leftist Collective at UA participated in a “die-in” protest on the Quad, the latest in a series of pro-Palestine, anti-war demonstrations on campus.

Protestors lay on their backs to symbolize people killed during the war between Israel and surrounding militant groups in the Middle East, holding up signs with messages such as “UA investments kill kids” and “Tide against genocide.”

“It’s really just trying to bring attention to the amount of casualties in Gaza, in Palestine and in Lebanon in this occupation,” Isabella Cornelius, senior news media major and media liaison for the protestors, told The Crimson White before the protest began. “We will be laying on the ground to represent the 45,000-plus who have been killed in this conflict.”

The die-in is the latest in a series of pro-Palestine events, including a Palestinian speaker living in the West Bank on Nov. 20, a silent protest at the UA System Board of Trustees meeting on Nov. 8, and a demonstration on the Quad on Sept. 24.

SPORTS | Alabama men’s basketball announced a significant loss on Tuesday, as fifth-year guard Latrell Wrightsell Jr. is out for the season after suffering an injury Saturday during the final game of the Players Era Festival tournament.

“We did get an MRI on Latrell,” head coach Nate Oats said in a press conference Tuesday. “He did rupture his achilles tendon, and he’s out for the year, which is disappointing.”

Wrightsell was helped from the court after suffering a non-contact injury while chasing an offensive rebound with 18:51 left in the second half.

“He’s going to have surgery on Wednesday. We expect a full recovery,” Oats said. “He’ll get back to a high level of basketball after his recovery.”

NEWS | At 2 p.m. on Nov. 13, a sit-in protest in support of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives was scheduled to occur on the Quad. Instead, the UA School of Social Work asked a professor involved in the protest’s planning to cancel it just hours before it was set to begin, threatening the professor with termination.

Sierra Blair and Bailey Megowen are juniors studying social work who helped organize the protest and came together to regroup after it was canceled and then uncancelled on the day of.

“This event was supposed to be a way for students to show their support of DEI initiatives on campus, because after SB129 took away a lot of services, students feel unheard,” Megowen said, referencing Senate Bill 129, an Alabama law that went into effect Oct. 1, prevents public schools from funding DEI programs. Since its introduction the bill has been heavily debated on college campuses all across the state.

SPORTS | Alabama returned to action for the Iron Bowl Saturday, showing flashes of dominance in a 28-14 victory over in-state rival Auburn.

“The biggest thing we did was embrace what this game means,” quarterback Jalen Milroe said. “It was important to get this win with so many things that are going on with our football team. I thought it was a good opportunity for us to go out there and compete.”

OPINION | For years, the classic theme was banned

OPINION | For years, the classic theme was banned at home games due to students’ use of profanity in between lines of the song, but the song returned in 2018, with the University asking students to stop the swearing.

Contributing Columnist Kathryn Briggs argues the song has only exploded with expletives since, worsening the image of the University and making home games uncomfortable for families with small children.

"Some students may claim, as an excuse, that the football players and athletic staff are the only ones required to represent themselves professionally. Yes, these people are the only ones mandated to be professional, but we as students represent The University of Alabama wherever we go — even more so when thousands of us join together to shout profanities at other teams," Briggs said.
