Martin: The people who hold us together (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In January 1947, the Boulder County sheriff called several local mountaineers and asked for help finding a little girl who had wandered away from her home in the mountains. They went. They searched. They did not find her. Her body was found the next day, not far from the house. The tracks in the snow told those searchers something they would carry the rest of their lives. They had passed within a few feet of her. No one can say whether a trained rescue team would have changed the ending. What ca
Martin: It’s time for CU to recommit to protecting and fostering free speech (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly one in three University of Colorado Boulder students surveyed earlier this year said using violence to stop someone from speaking on campus can be acceptable, at least in rare circumstances. Not disagreeing with a speaker. Not protesting outside the room. Not standing up and asking a hard question. That response is more troubling than CU’s recent fall from fifth to 23rd in the national College Free Speech Rankings. The drop matters. But it does not tell the whole story. The 2027 rankings
Martin: The CU Regents’ job is not to agree; it’s to govern (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A governing board will disagree. Sometimes sharply. That is not a failure of governance. The failure comes when disagreement becomes the agenda. At CU, a dispute that began with outside reviews of two regents has now generated more than $1 million in independent investigation costs, legal fees and litigation expenses. The amount matters. How CU got there matters more. I spent twelve years on the CU Board of Regents. Governing a university costs money, and sometimes defending it requires lawyers.
Martin: This Labor Day, remember the fight to protect workers’ rights is never finished (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tomorrow is Labor Day, the holiday Americans celebrate by trying not to think about work. It marks the unofficial end of summer, the start of another school year and one last long weekend. For many of us, it also pushes trash day to Tuesday. But Labor Day was never meant merely to give Americans a day away from work. It was meant to remind the country what it owes the people who do it. The Labor Department calls it a national tribute to the achievements of American workers and their contribution
Martin: Welcome to CU Boulder’s freshman class. This is your home now, too. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It happens the same way every August. One week the streets belong to us. The next week they don’t. The left lane on College Avenue stops moving, there is a U-Haul double-parked on every block and somewhere a father in a polo shirt is carrying a mini-fridge up a flight of stairs he will never climb again. I came to Boulder in 1961. The 1960 census counted just over 37,000 residents, and you knew the name of the boy who delivered the Boulder Daily Camera, the man who pumped your gas and the one wh
