23.01.2022 Students and staff received word this afternoon from Professor Martina Mollering, Dean of Arts at Macquarie University, that the case for exemption for Gender Studies from the overall cuts had been approved. Ranuka Tandan reports.
23.01.2022 #BREAKING: The launch of the SRC’s first online elections today has met with disaster, with many emails to students not including a link to the online voting platform.

22.01.2022 CW: Police violence Honi attended Sydney's 2021 Invasion Day rally. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. Watch our coverage here.
21.01.2022 More than coloured shirts on Eastern Avenue are lost as student politics shrink. This year, Bloom and Sanagavarapu will come to office with most students not knowing, and not having a real chance to know, they even exist. Nina Dillon Britton muses on an historic election.
21.01.2022 All undergraduate classes with less than 50 students enrolled and postgraduate classes with less than 25 students will face the axe, making elective units and specialised courses particularly vulnerable.

20.01.2022 Despite some police tension, no fines were issued today, potentially because this was an action put together by school children in addition to similar actions occurring without police repression across the country. Ranuka Tandan and James Sherriff report.
20.01.2022 Traditional language learning often revolves around learning rules or vocabulary and then doing exercises so they stay in your memory. Children on the other hand learn their first languages very differently - they aren’t formally taught it, they just hear it so many times that it becomes second nature to them. Duolingo is somewhat similar to this. Bob He is a fan of Duolingo.
20.01.2022 With twelve candidates and only six seats up for grabs, the upcoming USU election is looking to be hotly contested. Shania O'Brien and Marlow Hurst report.
19.01.2022 The CV sections for ticket members are a chance for stu pol enthusiasts to humanise themselves and prove their credentials. Almost all fail miserably. Most read like Tinder bios for which we would certainly swipe left. Angad Roy and Robbie Mason give you the lowdown on the upcoming elections to save you the pain.
18.01.2022 The entire Academic Senate at the University of Wollongong has been dismissed to make way for a new governance model, which critics say will lead to greater dominance by management. Jeffrey Khoo reports.
18.01.2022 Songs you’ve never heard before fill eternities Hours blur like the wipers on the windshield A poem by Genevieve Couvret.

16.01.2022 In defiance of a heavy police presence, students protested the Government’s proposed cuts to universities, occupying City Road and blocking traffic. Police once again attempted to disperse the protest, issuing at least 16 fines to protesters. Nina Dillon Britton reports.
15.01.2022 If nothing else, capitalism knows how to find and build a market. You may argue that it plays on our impulsiveness (it does), that it sells images as much as products (it does), or that it’s downright responsible for the climate catastrophe we find ourselves in (it is). Yet, a product born in a market society isn’t inherently undesirable. Sam Randle defends plant-based substitutes.
14.01.2022 Due to the fact that Panda obtained 7 of 33 total seats in the 92nd Council of the SRC during last year’s elections, and the status quo of Panda as the largest university faction for a time, this disintegration is undoubtedly momentous for the student community as a whole. Zhiquan Gan charts the rise and fall of Panda.
14.01.2022 A video recap of today's education cuts rally, where student activists managed to occupy City Road and evade police repression.

13.01.2022 In the latest upswing of BLM struggles in Sydney, an activist bureaucracy has been responsible for enforcing a rights-based, state-approved series of peaceful marches with police escorts. This further includes lobbying with, and seeking the validation of NGOs and politicians. Himath Siriniwasa interrogates allyship and the current bureaucracies in social movements.
11.01.2022 An officer claimed that walking through campus with a megaphone was what created reasonable suspicion. Ranuka Tandan and Matthew Forbes report.
11.01.2022 Bloom has framed their vision for next year’s Honi in direct contrast to our 2020 output. Critiquing the current editorial approach as being intensely news-centric, despite Honi being a student newspaper (after all), Bloom wants to place extra emphasis next year on cultural writing, visual art and polished print design. Our profile of the 2021 provisionally-elected Honi Soit ticket, Bloom for Honi.

08.01.2022 During lockdown Violet decided to bring her mattress into the living room. She told me; When you can’t rebel out in the wide world I guess the only thing you can do is say fuck you to living expectations and put your mattress on the carpet in front of the TV. Isla Mowbray paints and writes about womens' experiences of lockdown.

06.01.2022 He has previously acted for Sydney Night Patrol (SNP) in relation to the recent investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) concerning the provision of security services to the university. ICAC found that SNP had engaged in corrupt conduct during their contract with the University, including falsifying timesheets, bribery and fraud.
06.01.2022 With the vanishing of any opposition, so too goes the need for Honi Soit editors to create contrived downsides to compare him to a much worse candidate. That means we can say this: Swapnik Sanagavarapu will probably be a good president. Our profile of the 2021 provisionally-elected SRC President, Swapnik Sanagavarapu.
05.01.2022 With such a consistent pro-cop disposition, the question of why the supposed most progressive state in Australia continues to vote for policy like that propagated by Andrews needs to be interrogated; the 2018 state election didn’t occur in a vacuum, and it paved the way for what we see today. Daany Saeed on why the Victorian ALP has embraced a punitive pandemic response.

02.01.2022 After a NSW Parliamentary Committee into the high levels of First Nations people in custody tabled its findings and 39 recommendations today, activists held a speak-out with the overarching message that justice would be won by the people and not the state. Claire Ollivain reports.
