If USC’s NCAA athletic teams are supposed to represent our university, then students should be able to watch the team's games without jumping though hoops.
The class of 2021 studied under two seemingly different university presidents, but there was one consistent trait between the Pastides and Caslen administrations: a total lack of accountability to the student body.
