W.E.B. Du Bois suggested more than 80 years ago that the United States chose white supremacy over democracy. Today we have an opportunity to correct that.

The campus saw hundreds of students and faculty members walk out of their classes and assemble on Sproul Plaza for a rally against Trump’s inauguration.

Today’s inauguration ceremony is an opportunity for Chancellor Nicholas Dirks. He will have the ears of the campus — professors, students, administrators and many other members of the community.
