Safe space is a term with many meanings. But here on Penn’s campus, it’s often referred to as a forum for open dialogue and conversation free from intolerable discrimination or emotional harm. Topics of identity politics and social issues are common components of campus conversations labeled as safe spaces. Guidelines are created in order to encourage people to be more thoughtful before speaking. They are intended to hold people accountable for their words and actions.
It’s easy to care about an issue when it directly affects you. I care about financial aid packages in college because I am a direct recipient of financial aid that allows me to attend this institution. Similarly, it is easy for me to care about preventing and eradicating anti-Semitism because I am Jewish. It is easy for me to care about drug abuse and alcoholism awareness because people whom I love struggle with these issues every day. But the social issues I educate myself about and care about shouldn’t stop with the ones that directly affect me.
Following Penn women’s soccer’s 3-1-1 start to the 2019 season, forward Emily Sands caught fire en route to leading the Quakers to their first undefeated week of the season. The senior was the program’s leading scorer in 2018, and she has stayed right on track in the new year.
When Penn announced last semester that campus-favorite restaurant Tortas Frontera would close in mid-May, few expected its replacement to look like the frozen section of a local grocery store. Even fewer expected Mark’s Cafe immediately to follow suit, especially considering most students weren’t made aware of this decision until The Daily Pennsylvanian reported on it a few weeks ago — just days before the renovation. And yet, over the past week, both establishments were replaced by “micro markets” which offer an assortment of snacks and pre-packaged foods. In an apparent attempt to respond to the high demand for longer dining hours, Penn has taken the easy and ethically flawed way out: eliminating human interaction by replacing staff with self-checkout kiosks.

I’ve never had bacon. I’ve never eaten a burger. I’ve never had spaghetti bolognese, a ham and cheese sandwich, or a steak with a side of gravy, and I’ve never wanted to. Growing up, the little meat I did consume was in the form of Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches and the occasional turkey dinner. My mom thought it best for us not to eat meat, and when I became old enough to make that decision for myself, I agreed with her. Vegetarian and vegan diets come with a plethora of benefits, not just for the one consuming them, but for this increasingly damaged planet we call home. Vegan diets can conserve clean water typically relegated to livestock, as well as reducing energy consumption necessary for the raising and processing of said livestock. So don’t get me wrong — I’m all for vegetables, but having the privilege to choose a vegan diet is something that needs to be recognized.
