NEWS | President Donald Trump issued an executive

NEWS | President Donald Trump issued an executive order last Thursday that directs the education secretary to begin dismantling the department. The department’s dissolution was a key campaign promise of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

“The Department of Education burdens schools with regulations and paperwork,” the order said. “Its ‘Dear Colleague’ letters have forced schools to redirect resources toward complying with ideological initiatives, which diverts staff time and attention away from schools’ primary role of teaching.”

Cierra Gilliam, a senior majoring in news media, said that she believes that the department’s dismantling is a reflection of the state of the country.

“With it being not even 50 years old, it says a lot about how quickly we can go back to living in the dark times of our past,” she said. “They are trying to divide us and slowly but surely limit our education so that they can have as many people as possible naive and drinking the Kool-Aid of oppression that they are dishing out."

SPORTS | No. 2 seed Alabama men’s basketball def

SPORTS | No. 2 seed Alabama men’s basketball defeated No. 15 seed Robert Morris 90-81 Friday afternoon, staving off a potential upset bid in front of a well-represented Colonial crowd in Cleveland, Ohio.

“As it got down to the wire, it started getting loud in there, and we know we had a lot of experience at that last year,” guard Mark Sears said. “I think we showed our composure and resiliency of not getting too high, and we stayed with that throughout the game.”

From the jump, the Crimson Tide used its size advantage to dominate the paint. The team scored 11 of its first 14 points in the paint or at the free throw line, giving Alabama a 14-4 lead in the first seven minutes of the game.

NEWS | Earlier this month, the University granted

NEWS | Earlier this month, the University granted the UA chapter of Young Americans for Freedom permission to omit the terms “gender identity,” “gender expression” and “sexual identity” from its constitution’s non-discrimination clause. Multiple student organizations have since voiced their disapproval of the exemption.

After UA YAF applied to renew its organization with The Source, an annual requirement for student organizations, The Source rejected the application. A University employee stated in an email reply to UA YAF that it was required to include a non-discrimination clause in its constitution with the “EXACT” wording, noting that UA YAF would remain in “frozen status” until it complied.

However, after filing a complaint to the University — and including Steve Marshall, Alabama’s attorney general, on the email chain for “extra pressure” — the organization was granted the exemption.

As of publication, the executive boards of Not On My Campus, UA Planned Parenthood Generation Action and the Queer Student Association have voiced their disapproval of the University granting UA YAF the exemption via their respective Instagram accounts.

“If hate truly does not roll here, we implore the University to reassess their exception, and stand on the side of progress, not in the face of it” said the QSA executive board’s statement. “We also want to remind students that your voice matters, regardless of the forces trying to silence it.”

NEWS | The University of Alabama was mistakenly li

NEWS | The University of Alabama was mistakenly listed as under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for awarding “impermissible race-based scholarships and race-based segregation.” The University of Alabama System school actually under investigation is the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

The initial press release from the DOE Office of Civil Rights announcing the investigation was updated without announcement Monday. It now lists UAB instead of The University of Alabama as one of the seven institutions under investigation.

Alex House, associate director of media relations for the University, said that the University had “not been contacted by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights about the investigation announced Friday and is no longer listed in the press release.”
