The Barometer and its advisor consistently fail to listen to communities of color and their allies on the OSU campus. Dude, the metaphor fell very very flat. We will definitely do lunch during spring term. The biggest resource that comes to my mind is actually more of a skill — listening.

I am continuing with the paper for several more terms and will pass on your critiques. What resources does the paper fail to use? When does the paper fail to use them? What is the paper not seeing around it? Thanks for the critiques. Dennis, can you please expand upon your comment?

What resources does the paper fail to use? When does the paper fail to use them?

What is the paper not seeing around it?

Thanks for the critiques.

Your critique of the birdcage language makes sense, now. The intent was not to connect them. It was an attempt to use it as a metaphor for a distinctly different situation. That metaphor clearly failed. Ahh! Your critique of the birdcage language makes sense, now. The intent was not to connect them.

They reinvent the wheel every few years and then claim progress. I'm not saying it's <i>not</i> progress for them (because it <b>so</b> is), just that it might be prudent for them to 1) look around and see what else is going on (and the fact that I'm suggesting a newspaper staff do this should be telling) and 2) stop expecting everyone else to be impressed when they figure out the most basic things.
