EDITORIAL: Cancelling Spring Break was not the right move
On Oct. 14, Provost Liesl Folks sent an email officially cancelling Spring Break for the 2021 spring semester. Citing efforts to “limit the spread of COVID-19,” the university replaced the week-long break with a series of five reading days spread out throughout the semester, with one in February, two in March and two in April, with only March 9 and 10 being on consecutive days. This development has sparked the Opinions Board at the Daily Wildcat to put together a statement on not only the Spring Break decision, but also health in the time of online school in general.

I argued that the “Bernie or bust” movement was problematic, as well as Biden supporters saying they wouldn’t vote for Bernie (they just didn’t have as catchy of a name). I would now like to make a new case to you, one that you may have heard before, but it is so important that I had to write a whole column on it: vote blue no matter what. Read more
OPINION: An answer to your burning question about mental health through the pandemic — no, you are not alone

OPINION: COVID-19 may have taken away many things this year, but we can still have Halloween — as long as we stay mindful
As Halloween quickly approaches, many are wondering what the spooky holiday will look like in the middle of a pandemic. With the tradition of trick-or-treating being an activity that seems as if it was invented to spread COVID-19, families will have to be a little more creative to celebrate this year. Read more
