Come November out-of-state students still eligible to vote in elections
With all the commotion in the news lately, out-of-state students may be confused about whether or not they can vote in New Hampshire. The good news is that yes, you can! In fact, every US Citizen 18 years or older living in New Hampshire while attending school has an absolute right to vote here. Here’s [...]
KSC Administration Ignores Mission of College, Exploits Adjuncts, according to lecturer
Thank you, Leigh Corrette, for your passionate and courageous letter to the editor (April 4, 2012: Adjunct Faculty, Not Administration, Hurt Most in Budget Cuts). Like Professor Corrette, I, too, have lost my job after teaching at Keene State for thirteen years. In January, I was informed by Dean Fienberg that I would no longer [...]
The flip side of the adjunct debates at KSC
Dear Editor, It is offensive to publicly post the names of a targeted group of people calling them “bloated” and “useless” and inferring they are expendable and it is wrong to champion the person who compiled and posted that list. I can’t explain why Leigh Corrette targeted me along with 50 other KSC staff [...]
Administration is necessary for day-to-day school functions
Dear Editor, Leigh Corrette’s editorial on April 4, 2012 was inflammatory, and the string of disturbing emails that followed was an embarrassment and outrageously offensive. Keene State College works because everyone — students, faculty, adjuncts, PAT, OS and all other types of employees make meaningful contributions. And when some members of the community hold themselves [...]
Adjunct faculty, not administration hurt most in budget cuts
Ok—NO ONE is talking about the adjunct cuts, or tuition increases. I’ve raised the issue a few times but I got some major backlash from our Union, Administration, and even students. “You’re stirring up unnecessary trouble,” was an Executive Board Union member’s response. I will not be invisible nor pretend that this is fine, [...]
Equinox Praised for Recent Work

It rivals any newspaper in the region for its content, journalism, layout, diversity and print that is easy to read. I would encourage you to increase your circulation by leaving copies within the [...]
Letter to the editor
Praise for the Carroll House Art Gallery To the Equinox, The late writer Alex Haley advised us to “find the good, and praise it.” With his sentiments in mind, I visited the new Carroll House Art Gallery on Main and was impressed. Situated next to the county historical society, it gave me a twofer. I [...]
Dispelling birth control myths
To the Editor: In last week’s issue of The Equinox, an article caught the eye of the Feminist Collective. Allie Bedell’s opinion’s piece regarding the controversy surrounding the current debate over whether religious institutions should be required to provide access to free contraceptive care. Bedell argues that in requiring religious institutions to do this, the [...]
Letter to the Editor
To The Editor: Today my roommate came home with a copy of The Equinox. I do not usually read it but today it caught my eye. A 3×5 picture of a Keene State alumnus who has recently been arrested for trying to catch a package in the mail filled with hash. It is obviously [...]
Letter to the Editor
To the editor: I was stunned by this week’s Equinox front page. The headline, ‘Graffiti Stains KSC,’ juxtaposed with a photo illustration of a black man behind bars, creates an impression that there¹s been a rash of vandalism perpetrated by black men (that black man?) on this campus. I know that’s not true, and read [...]
