University staff deserve equal rise to faculty say KU professor
Professor Mike Hoeflich of the KU School of Law argues in a State of the University address that governor Graves must raise staff pay as much as faculty to maintain university performance. He warns that a 3 percent rise for non teaching staff alongside a 46.2 percent faculty increase harms morale, recruitment, and collaboration across campuses.

Deadly fashion fixation fuels attack on teen in Arlington
The piece recounts the Dec 8 stabbing of 18 year old Dino Sawyer in Arlington after disparaging remarks about his clothes. It links the assault to a broader critique of designer-brand culture among Black youths, noting Jerod L Jackson’s later jacket robbery and murder in the District. Police describe Dino’s five day ICU stay and failed future plans. The column argues for recognizing self-worth beyond brands and highlights financial and social risks of conspicuous consumption. It cites a 1997 ICIC study on Black spending and warns about credit and debt while urging a shift toward values over fashion. Dino’s defiant remark to his attackers underscores personal identity beyond labels.
