This week we discussed the intensifying Coronavirus anxiety on campus as Japanese exchange students were moved into the previously vacated Wray House residence hall, the lasting impacts of Kaitlin Bennett’s visit to Ohio University, recent developments in the trials of former fraternity members who’ve been charged with crimes concerning the 2018 hazing-related death of Colin Wiant; and Ohio’s declining coal economy, and how the increased demand for natural gas affects the state.
