Grinnell should launch a climate major

We’re at a dire moment: for the first time, global temperatures passed 1.5°C of warming above pre-industrial levels in 2024. With Trump’s inauguration, White House policy once again holds that climate change does not exist. We’re unlikely to see any progressive climate action at the federal level for the next four years — instead, we’re seeing a horrifying regression. This absence of federal climate leadership leaves a gap that educational insti…Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article

As over 50,000 low-income renters across Iowa search for affordable housing, a quiet concentration of property ownership is reshaping Grinnell, a town of fewer than 10,000 residents. An analysis by The Scarlet & Black reveals that just 30 property owners—a mix of corporations, nonprofits and individual investors—collectively hold nearly 18 percent of Grinnell’s residential properties. These 30 entities own 662 of the town’s 3,417 parcels, accord…Property · Grinnell Read Article

Being the social media coordinator for The Scarlet & Black these last two years has felt a lot like being “Gossip Girl.” Hear me out — I’m anonymous, have sources all over town, and can send messages to the whole school with the press of a “post” button.
