Every day tens of thousands of students are walking on campus, going to classes, meeting up with friends, going to sporting events and participating in student organizations.

In 2018, the Campus Free Expression Act stopped the implementation of Free Speech Zones on USC’s campus.

In 1776, the United States put out the Declaration of Independence which outlined the core values for the newly formed nation: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Later, when the United States Constitution was outlined, it included several key rights in the First Amendment to the Constitution – namely the right to free speech and peaceful assembly. These values are central to the rights Americans have enjoyed since the advent of our new nation and have become part of our national identity abroad.

Though college is often quoted as the time where one lives exclusively off coffee and ramen noodles, Carolina’s meal swipe options allow students to approach eating in a healthier way. The variety of meals and snacks provided enable students to be fueled in a healthy way as they go about their day. Their newest initiative includes removing cash equivalency meal swipes from convenience store locations “to promote a healthier Carolina.” This change is to prevent students from using their meal swipe allowances on snack foods, hoping to encourage students to eat more holistic meals.
