Comment on Angle Tells Hispanic Students they Look Asian

The Regional Transportation District board that directs public transit around metro Denver could gain two front-line bus drivers, bringing street smarts, and a 25-year-old who vows to make rides safer for a new generation after the November election. Another candidate asking voters for a seat on the RTD’s 15-member board doesn’t own a car and says he’s fed up with waiting longer than expected for buses and trains.

The artist Sam Grabowska, currently showing at Denver’s Leon Gallery, has a curious educational background. The exhibition’s written materials list a doctorate in architecture with a concentration in cultural anthropology; a master’s degree in humanities; one bachelor’s degree in film; and a second bachelor’s in environmental design.

When the temperatures drop, you might be inclined to curl up on the couch and hibernate until next spring. But that’s no fun. Instead, you should be out exploring Colorado’s vibrant culinary scene by attending these food- and drink-focused festivals around the state. Oct.10-12 Great American Beer Festival.

Dogs are naturally curious animals, notorious for exploring the world by way of their mouths. So if you’re a cannabis user, it’s possible – even likely – that one day your dog will sample your stash.

A weak policy at the University of Colorado system is failing to protect students from unwanted sexual advances and consensual sexual relationships. Professors, coaches, and other university employees are technically allowed to use their positions of authority to develop intimate relationships with students and athletes. There is always an imbalanced power in these sexual relationships, and many universities across the nation have already banned them following the direction of the NCAA. CU has a long-winded policy about such relationships – discouraging them but ultimately allowing them as long as it is “disclosed.” If the student is not in a professor’s class or if the athlete is on a different team, the relationship never even needs to be disclosed. CU President Todd Saliman referred to Administrative Policy Statement 5015 as a robust policy to protect students during an editorial board meeting with The Denver Post on Tuesday.
