 It was really disappointing to see the administration jump off the deep end about a topic that should be talked about and yet isn’t. I’m glad they reinstated the paper, but their inconsistent statements as to why leave no doubt in my mind as to their intent.

Meador has been involved with TEDx for three years and this year he is trying expand information resources for the community, he said.
