Local opinion: New admission review process puts Arizona students first

  • Patricia A. Prelock Special to the Arizona Daily Star

The University of Arizona has a new expanded application and comprehensive review process that considers the full picture of every student’s preparation and potential.

Terrry Bracy: When the perpetual money machine breaks down

  • Terry Bracy Special to the Arizona Daily Star

America’s governmental systems are failing in front of our eyes, and the consequences will be profound. 

Local opinion: Public-school students deserve continued investment

Local opinion: Public-school students deserve continued investment

  • Amy Krauss Special to the Arizona Daily Star

Supporting public education is an investment in the foundational promise of our community and our nation: that every child, regardless of background or circumstance, matters, belongs, and deserves the chance to succeed.

Local opinion: Billed to you, given to Blue

Local opinion: Billed to you, given to Blue

  • Daniel Dempsey Special to the Arizona Daily Star

Project Blue is not economic development. It is a transfer of cost and risk from private investors onto everyone else.

Local opinion: Are we great yet? Measuring America against its promises

Local opinion: Are we great yet? Measuring America against its promises

  • Kelley Benson Special to the Arizona Daily Star

Great nations aren’t defined by campaign chants or stock market highs. They are defined by trustworthy institutions, real economic opportunity, and citizens who believe the system works for them.

National opinion: Mideast conflict highlights need to rebuild domestic mining

  • Rich Nolan Special to the Arizona Daily Star

The conflict with Iran underscores that now is the time for Congress to reinvest in U.S. mineral security and recognize the irreplaceable importance of domestic production.

Local opinion: TEP's 14 percent rate increase should be rejected

Local opinion: TEP's 14 percent rate increase should be rejected

  • Robert Clemmons Special to the Arizona Daily Star

We can seize this moment and make it clear to TEP and the ACC that a 14 percent rate increase is simply unacceptable. It means more profit for billion-dollar corporations and another attack on an American Dream.

Letter: War for Peace?

Letter: War for Peace?

  • Larry DeWitt, Northeast side

War never makes anything better. It always makes everything worse, until one or both sides are exhausted by the process. We call this state of mutual depletion, peace.

      The window to declare success in Iran is closing | Matt K. Lewis

        America has the capacity to win in Iran | Chuck DeVore

          Americans tend to ignore foreign policy. Living in a continent-sized nation bounded by two vast oceans allows for that dangerous self-deception. But when we’re attacked or the price of gas spikes, we’re rudely reminded that while we may not care about the world, the world cares for us.
