Letter to the editor: DePaul’s refusal to name Election Day a university holiday contradicts Vincentian values
Kierstin Cole, Contributing Writer
September 11, 2020
I have worked three elections — the 2018 primary, the 2018 general, and the 2020 primary — as an election judge in my hometown. I worked the blue wave of 2018 and I got to know the system that elects our leaders. I did it because I had heard that hundreds of poll workers were calling off around the ...
Letter to the editor: My experience with the 2020 Census as a student living off campus
Laura Hobbs, Student Intern at DePaul’s Community and Government Relations Office
June 17, 2020
The last time the census was counted, I was ten years old, and I don’t even think I knew it was happening. It wasn’t until recently that I understood anything about the census. Questions like how often it occurs, who’s counted, and how to complete it were all unknowns until just a couple ...
Letter to the editor: From an angry, embarrassed alum
Michael Ciepierski
April 25, 2020
This submission does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the DePaulia staff. As an alum, I am angry and embarrassed. As I would normally stand proud wearing a DePaul hat, shirt, or hoodie, now I would not, as it represents something other than Vincentian views, something other than an edu...

A funeral Mass was said on Wednesday, March 11, in St. Vincent de Paul Church for Daniel N. Kadjan, Editor-in-Chief of The DePaulia in 1955-56. Dan was editor at the time of one of the best April Fool stunts in the student newspaper’s history. DePaul was a different school back then. There were...
Letter to the Editor: Stop silencing adjuncts
February 16, 2020
I'd like to thank The DePaulia, Hannah Mitchell, and all those who spoke out about the difficulties adjunct faculty encounter, even those –and perhaps especially those –who withheld their names. I myself am an adjunct here at DePaul; it's not my first rodeo and I can say that DePaul is the most evo...
Open letter to the DePaul Board of Trustees: Make your investment profile public
James Langford, Contributing Writer
May 14, 2018
Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that DePaul University pulled its investments with Israel in 2014. The university never pulled investments within Israel.

Letter to the Editor: Lenti Ponsetto’s accomplishments speak for themselves
Anna Frank, John McEnroe
April 9, 2018
We write this letter with both pride and passion—pride in the accomplishments and quality of the athletics program as a whole and passion in response to what we believe is a disproportionate amount of accusations, negativity and reliance on questionable sources that have appeared in The DePaulia in r...

PhD students take a stand against the lack of affordable healthcare
DePaul PhD Students
February 26, 2018
If you are someone who believes that healthcare is a right and not a privilege, you may have felt especially hopeless and helpless over the past year. Together, the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress have worked relentlessly to jeopardize the already precarious and problemat...

Karen Tamburro, Title IX Coordinator
February 19, 2018
More and more conversations about sexual and relationship violence are happening in society and on our campus, driven in part by the growing #MeToo movement.
