Almost exactly a year ago, The Eagle wrote an article and subsequent Staff Editorial regarding the importance of having Narcan, the name brand for naloxone HCl, on campus. We asked that American University begin supplying Narcan immediately or, if that was not possible, provide fentanyl test strips and helpful resources regarding overdoses instead. Until recently, we hadn’t heard any updates on this issue. On Oct. 19, the University announced that AUPD will begin to carry Narcan for students in crises and that training for officers is already underway.

Nearly every college campus in the United States uses blue light tower phone systems for campus safety.

In the meantime, the large LED light at the top of the tower will flash.

President Sylvia Burwell has acted as American University’s figurehead since 2017.

Following two tragic mass shootings in California at Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay in January, Project Pengyou and the Korean and Hindu Student Associations held a vigil on campus honoring the victims. The Monterey Park massacre occurred during a Lunar New Year celebration, drawing fear from AAPI communities across the nation.

American University President Sylvia Burwell held a panel on free expression and the updated Freedom of Expression and Expressive Conduct policy on Feb. 1, along with other university heads from across the country. Burwell and her fellow panelists spent the majority of the event discussing values like inclusion and diversity, but the message fell flat — ultimately seeming more like a PR move appealing to donors than true sentiment on expanding free expression across campus.

When American University announced that the Counseling Center and the Health Promotion and Advocacy Center would merge into the Center for Well-Being Programs and Psychological Services, they did not reveal any substantive changes to programming, besides a new physical office.

The Eagle typically focuses on one particular article for its editorials, but for our last editorial of the semester, we decided to look at AU’s semester in review as a whole.

Safety should be a basic right on campus. When that right is violated, the administration should not only listen to students’ demands, but act. On Thursday afternoon, Nov. 10, a new wave of discontent was initiated amongst the American University community against the administration’s handling of sexual violence cases.
