Last November, The Siganl received a tip about anti-Semitic comments targeting two of our editors in the TCNJ College Republicans’ public GroupMe chat. Upon investigation, we found not only those messages but also racist, homophobic, and transphobic remarks, some directed at students by name.

We reported this to the Office of Student Conduct, providing direct screenshots, yet were told there wasn’t enough evidence for disciplinary action. This raises a critical question: What does the College consider harassment, bullying, and discrimination?

Hate speech should never be protected under the guise of free speech. No student should fear being targeted for simply existing on campus.

Danny Graziano, a freshman accounting major, was surprised to find himself enrolled in a 300-level Chinese course for the fall semester, prompting him to switch to a political science class, which he found challenging. His situation reflects broader scheduling issues at the college, where departments offered fewer courses this fall due to tighter scheduling and an increase in incoming students.

Faculty and staff reported difficulties in finding courses for students, with some first-year students placed in 300-level classes due to a lack of available options. This issue was exacerbated by staffing shortages, a higher-than-expected number of new students, and complications with FAFSA that delayed summer scheduling. Despite these challenges, college staff and faculty worked diligently to accommodate students’ needs. Click the link on our story or in our bio to read the full article!

The AIMM building at The College has a new, colorful mural titled “Everything But Normal,” created by art education major Kelly Mazzucca ‘24. The mural was a collaborative effort involving students from the Mural Art class, guided by Professor Eddie Villanueva.

Inspired by the College’s origins as New Jersey’s first Normal School and the art department’s mission statement, the mural features a pearl symbolizing wisdom and transformation, representing the passing of knowledge and nurturing creativity. The artwork incorporates French influences and diverse patterns to reflect the TCNJ community. Click the link on our story or in our bio to read the full article!
