April 2009

At the end of every school year, students staying in campus housing for the summer often have to move. The campus rents many of the rooms to summer camps and other groups.

“…all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. …the first time as a tragedy, the second time as a farce.”

On April 6, 2009 the CPJ chose to run an opinion piece by Erica Hayes, a self-proclaimed “feminist,” called “Dear Evergreen Feminists.” The opinion piece was published in response to “Women Targeted during Political Actions” by myself and featured the story of Shelbi Chew. Both Chew and Iwanted an opportunity to respond to Hayes’ article, but because the Cooper Point Journal editorial policy doesn’t allow for direct responses, clarifications, corrections, or fact checking, the below article would not have been published by the CPJ.

The Police Services Community Review Board in perspective

One of the more tangible contributions of the Geoduck Student Union (gsu) this year has been appointing student representatives to the Police Services Community Review Board (pscrb). Sky Cohen, Tasha Glen and Aaron Lee all went through the process of interview and approval by the Union in order to become the students’ voting representatives, alongside faculty and staff, on the Board.

Why did the Cooper Point Journal knowingly publish a fake quote by Martin Luther King? Why will it not publish a correction to its reference to a nonexistent anti-Semitic Jordanian law? Why does it allow personal attacks against individuals and not allow the attacked to respond? These questions must be posed in light of the CPJ’s mishandling of a “controversial” subject.
