A section of the Dakota Access Pipeline sits above ground in North Dakota, crossing the Missouri River at the northern border of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. As the Army Corps of Engineers prepares to lower the pipeline into the Earth, it faces fierce opposition from protesters who fear water contamination and also want the historically sacred space to be respected, according to a Nov. 1 New York Times article. The protests at Standing Rock are unique in receiving national attention because of their scale, but they are emblematic of larger issues with the way the national government views Native Americans and the reservation system as resources we need not invest in yet can put to our use when it is opportune to do so. The Army Corps of Engineers must heed suggestions to move the Dakota Access Pipeline not only to maintain clean water and preserve sacred Sioux land but also to send a message — that in 2016 we are finally done taking from those who were here before us.

Seven lines. A paragraph. Precisely 80 words. In the Brandeis Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, a document of 75 pages, the mention of fraternities and sororities measures roughly the same length as a research paper footnote. For the casual reader, it would appear as if Greek life plays a middling role in student life at Brandeis, if any role at all. This is the point of those 80 words; they act as a blindfold to cover our eyes, to pretend. Regardless of the good they do, the existence of these influential but officially unrecognized organizations creates a sea of liability and potential for abuse.
