The popular and nationally recognized magazine Newsweek recently released its selection of the top 12 business schools in the nation, and among them is none other than NSU’s H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship. But before you begin the resounding applause, take some time to consider what could make this business school so […]

Medicinal Cannabis Should be Passed Despite Sound Objections
The Food and Drug Administration classifies cannabis as a Schedule One drug, meaning it has no medicinal value. But did you know that our federal government funds a cannabis farm in the University of Mississippi? Look up the Compassionate Investigational New Drug Program if you don’t believe me to find proof of government two-facedness at […]
Shark Speak: Oct. 21
President George Hanbury is having a town hall meeting on Oct. 27 to talk about NSU one-on-one with students. What would you like to tell or ask him? “I would like to see a larger menu with more variety at the Flight Deck Pub.” Joshua Herrera, junior biology major “The nursing program is […]
One bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch
In its October 7 issue, The Current published the opinions article “Teach, for crying out loud!” Below is another perspective on the subject. My experience at NSU has taught me that most professors truly care about their students, and that even the ones who seem to not care, do. Usually these professors have just become […]
Thigh gaps: thinspiration or health hazard?
The philosophy that thinner is better is killing people. If you’re looking around the Internet for health tips, you may come across the word “thinspiration.” Thinspiration — the combination of the words thin and inspiration — is either pictures of thin individuals or sayings about healthy living that inspire people to lose weight or be […]
“Say No to the Candidate”
According to a Rock the Vote poll, 55 percent of women between the ages of 18 to 29 identify as Democrat, compared to 29 percent who consider themselves Republican. Can you blame us? The Republican Party has a notoriously sexist image. This was especially evident during the 2012 elections when Democratic campaigners referred to Republican […]
She wasn’t asking for it
Last year at my old college, my friend was sexually assaulted at a party. It was a Saturday night at 3 a.m., and I got a phone call from her. She was crying hysterically into the phone, telling me how a guy at a party had sexually assaulted her just moments before. She willingly went […]
Teach, for crying out loud!
As a full-time freshman who works and still manages to find time to be a part of multiple organizations, I wish some of my professors would match the effort I put into their classes. It’s shocking to me that the first impression I got from several of my professors was that they didn’t care about […]
Bring healthy food to campus
From Pizza Loft to The Flight Deck Pub, NSU’s food options are every diet’s worst enemy. I know complaining about the lack of healthy options on campus is a little cliché, but after spending the past few months trying to live a healthier lifestyle, there was one massive, unavoidable roadblock in my way: the Don […]
Spicy, Subservient and Stupid: Latina Stereotypes in the Media
Thick. Steamy. Browned to perfection. These three labels are used to describe things that satisfy every man’s needs: a succulent, juicy steak and, according to the media, a Latina woman. In an era where there are Latina doctors, lawyers, Congresswomen, governors, CEOs, Supreme Court justices, and even astronauts, our media still treats Latina women like […]
