The Miami Herald today puts a story about former UF president Ben Sasse's spending written by a student journalist from UF on its front page. Not a rewrite by a staffer, but the work the Alligator first published. Excellent recognition of powerful student journalism:

All NCF wanted to do was teach kids how to research documented, actual things that happened, but Richard Corcoran & Ron DeSantis had a better idea, and now there are a few holes in Art, Humanities, Literature, Music and Languages.

We are social creatures and the work never ends. Doomerism is a selfish concept that aims to destroy solidarity, and thus it is my enemy
