BLACK ACTION SOCIETY PLANS WEDNESDAY DIE-IN FOR ANTWON ROSE II

PITT STUDENTS VISIT STATE CAPITOL Neena Hagen

Senior Staff Writer Dozens of Pitt students boarded buses at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday to attend Pitt’s annual Day in Harrisburg.

After a three-hour ride to Pennsylvania’s State Capitol Building, students were treated to tours of the building, sit-

down conversations with elected officials and a career-advice panel with Pitt alumni who work in the state government.

Chancellor Patrick Gallagher, who tagged along for the event, said he was excited for students to bring their school spirit to government officials.

“It’s great to be in Harrisburg with so many members of our Pitt community,”

Gallagher tweeted Tuesday morning.

“Looking forward to meeting with state leaders throughout the day and discussing why #WithPitt #PAwins.”

Many student groups got to meet with state leaders. Student representatives from Pitt’s Community Engagement See Capitol on page 2

Pitt’s Black Action Society plans to hold a die-in Wednesday afternoon in front of the William Pitt Union steps, where demonstrators will sit, stand or lie down for 40 minutes in honor of Antwon Rose II. Information about the die-in was distributed Monday and Tuesday on social media, where supporters shared screenshots of BAS Social Action Committee group chat messages that explained the event.

In the messages, BAS social action chair Anika Jones said the event would begin at 12:50 p.m. and last 40 minutes — 10 minutes for each day of Michael Rosfeld’s trial last week.

Rosfeld, a former East Pittsburgh police officer, was found not guilty Friday night after being charged with homicide for his June 2018 fatal shooting of Rose, who was 17 and unarmed at the time of his death.

The messages BAS shared said the demonstration was planned to “honor the life of Antwon Rose Jr. and to show solidarity between All students and members of the University and neighboring colleges, specifically Black members.”

Students who attended Pitt Day in Harrisburg were treated to tours of the capitol, sit-down conversations with elected officials and a careeradvice panel with Pitt alumni who work in the state government.

Jeremy Wang | contributing editor Center spoke with state Rep. Ed Gainey about the importance of teaching inclusive history and how Pitt can diversify its courses and extracurricular offerings to meet this goal.

“Talking to these representatives … makes it really clear how the work we’re doing really matters,” Rosie Hogan, sophomore community assistant with the CEC, said.

Students also engaged in a career chat with Pitt alumni who now work at the Capitol, including Gladys Brown, a public utility commissioner, and Matt Franchak, chief of staff for state Sen. Larry Farnese. Brown and Franchak both discussed their careers as public servants, appealing to the many politically oriented students in attendance.

But it wasn’t only political science students who showed up. The East Wing of the lower level of was peppered with poster boards with Pitt graduate and honors students showing off their research. Among those students was Kelsey Voltz, a graduate occupational therapy student, who presented her research in occupational therapy for people with disabilities.

Gallagher said the event was for anyone who wanted to show their passion for Pitt and thanked everyone who came.

“I say this often but our alumni, students, faculty and staff are our best advocates and we couldn’t do [Pitt Day in Harrisburg] without your support,” Gallagher tweeted.

Jones noted there would be Pitt police officers present to protect participants from “antagonizers,” and that the demonstration is only intended to include local college students and affiliates due to concerns that outside demonstrators might not represent the interests of college protesters. However, Jones emphasized the protest is meant for solidarity with the Rose family.

“Please keep in mind that the focus of this presentation is to show support for the family of Antwon Rose Jr. and the focus is NOT on the police present,” Jones wrote.

The demonstration will not block the doors to the Union. BAS is encouraging participants to wear black or BAS attire.

BAS President Edenis Augustin said in a Tuesday phone call that the protest is intended to unite students in the wake of the shooting. “[The goal is] just to show solidarity between all students on campus and faculty and staff, but specifically black students and just to show support for Antwon Rose’s family,” Augustin said.

Augustin said members of black student unions from other universities in the area were invited to the event as well, and that he hopes students line the sidewalk outside the Union to show support.

More than 100 people participated in a December 2014 die-in at Litchfield Towers to protest police brutality following separate instances in Missouri and New York in which police officers from the respective states were not indicted for the killing of two black men, Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

FOR REAL: CROSSWALK TO COME

The crosswalk created on Forbes Avenue outside of David Lawrence Hall is expected to be fully operational by the end of the week, according to Pitt Police.

Thomas Yang | assistant visual editor

Joanna Li

News Editor To our readers: no, really. We promise. This time for real.

The crosswalk created on Forbes Avenue outside of David Lawrence Hall is expected to be fully operational by the end of the week, according to Pitt police. In the past few days, the traffic lights have been set to “flash” as a means of allowing drivers to adapt to the new crosswalk.

Stop bars and crosswalk markings are expected to be painted Wednesday, March 27. Following that, PennDOT will begin a 30-day test to make sure the signals are properly functioning.

These efforts mark the final steps of a construction effort that began in February.

But remember: walk, don’t run, to your next class at David Lawrence Hall.

TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDER FOR FREE SPEECH IS INEFFECTIVE

from the editorial board

The GOP isn’t the health care party President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he wanted to make the GOP the party of health care.

If that sounds unconvincing, it’s because the declaration came a day after the administration filed a case with a federal appeals court calling for the entire Affordable Care Act to be struck down. Getting rid of the ACA and Trump’s statement are both mistakes that will hurt both the American people and Trump’s reelection bid in 2020.

In the appeals court filing, the Justice Department agreed with a federal judge in Texas who ruled the law was invalid. This is different from the administration’s previous stance on the matter, when it claimed only the community rating rule and the guaranteed issue requirement were illegal, but the rest of the law was valid.

The community rating rule prohibits insurers from varying premiums based on factors such as age, gender or health, and the guaranteed issue requirement ensures protections for people with preexisting conditions.

These are just two of the many facets of the ACA that have benefited Americans and that the Trump administration wants to remove. Since the ACA was passed in 2010, 20 million people have gained health insurance. Children can now stay on their parents’ health care plan until the age of 26. By 2020, the ACA will have phased out of the Medicare “donut hole” that cost seniors out of pocket for prescription drugs within a certain limit. Additionally, chain restaurants and vending machines

pittnews.com

now have to provide nutrition information.

But Trump wants to get rid of all these benefits and more, and he hasn’t put forward a plan to replace what Americans would lose — further proof that the GOP isn’t the party of health care. And if it continues to push for eliminating the ACA, it can’t be.

Republicans battled against former President Barack Obama when he was first trying to get the law passed, and they haven’t eased up in their criticisms of it. Rep. John Fleming, R.La., even called it “the most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress” in 2013. But since then, they’ve supported the portion of the ACA that protects those with preexisting conditions, one of the most popular features of the law.

This puts Republicans in a difficult situation, stuck between supporting their president and upholding their claims during the 2018 midterm elections of wanting to save the preexisting conditions portion.

Trump already attempted to get rid of the ACA and replace it with his own health care plan, which notably would not have protected those with preexisting conditions from higher premiums. It also would have allowed insurers to provide fewer health benefits than the ACA did, which speaks volumes about Republicans’ mentality on this point.

Because even if Trump comes up with another replacement plan that Congress passes, the GOP certainly can’t call itself the party for health care.

Hayden Timmins Staff Columnist

Free speech is an integral part of American culture and law. So when university campuses attempt to stifle discussions, it’s understandable that there is considerable backlash.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 21 that attempted to combat the increasing effort by college administrations to limit the First Amendment on campuses. While this executive order is a step in the right direction, the actual consequences of it are miniscule. The order states that the government can withhold federal funds if the school is deemed to have violated the First Amendment, but it offers no specific way of determining this.

“Free inquiry is an essential feature of our Nation’s democracy, and it promotes learning, scientific discovery, and economic prosperity,” the order reads. “We must encourage institutions to appropriately account for this bedrock principle in their administration of student life and to avoid creating environments that stifle competing perspectives, thereby potentially impeding beneficial research and undermining learning.”

Under the order, colleges must affirm that they are following the First Amendment as well as their stated policies, which they must already do to receive federal funding. If Trump really wanted to take action, a more effective executive order would specify which policies would lead to cutting federal funds.

There are plenty of examples of college campuses attempting to violate free speech, including the infamous “free expression areas,” which confine public speaking and demonstrations to specific areas at specific times. The American Civil Liberties Union has filed lawsuits against many of these campuses, including Arkansas State University, in an attempt to combat measures to restrict free speech.

When an Arkansas State student set up a table

March 27, 2019

in front of the student union, which was outside of the free expression area, to gather signatures in an attempt to start a campus chapter of Turning Point USA, the school demanded that she stop and the police were called. Another person working with the student was issued a criminal trespass warning.

Kentucky, Arizona, Missouri and Virginia have all passed legislation banning free expression areas in colleges. But one in 10 colleges nationwide still maintain free expression area policies.

Another major issue is the “heckler’s veto,” in which a group attempts to suppress a public speaking event because of negative reactions. Pitt students may recognize the heckler’s veto after the University drew criticism for charging the Young America’s Foundation and College Republicans a $5,546.52 security fee two days before conservative speaker Ben Shapiro was set to appear at Pitt.

The Alliance Defending Freedom, the law firm that represented YAF, issued an open letter accusing Pitt of attempting to stifle free speech, as the University refused to host Shapiro if the fee was not payed. Pitt later rescinded the fee.

“Speech isn’t free if the speaker can be forced to pay money simply because somebody may object,” ADF senior council Jonathan Larcomb said in an ADF press release. “The Supreme Court has specifically stated that security fees, such as the ones Pitt has assessed, aren’t constitutionally permissible.”

The Supreme Court ruling ADF is referencing is Forsyth County v. Nationalist Movement. This ruling states that varying fees cannot be charged based on the content of the speech and the reaction it could illicit.

“Listeners’ reaction to speech is not a contentneutral basis for regulation,” the ruling reads.

“Speech cannot be financially burdened, any more than it can be punished or banned, simply because it might offend a hostile mob.”

See Timmins on page 4

Timmins, pg. 3 ADF also suggested that the security fee was specifically designed to prevent Shapiro from speaking. Pitt implemented the fee two days before the event, and ADF claims the school was also in breach of its contract with YAF. “The contract stat[es] that the ‘University will provide all house personnel necessary for the Event,” the letter reads. “This includes all ushers, ticket takers and security personnel deemed necessary by the University.”

These policies are fueled by a desire of students to foster an inclusive environment. A study

pittnews.com

by Gallup and the Knight Foundation found that a majority of students believe promoting an inclusive society that is welcoming to diverse groups is more important than freedom of speech. The willingness to prioritize diversity quickly leads to sacrificing free speech to uphold those values.

This is shown in the study, as 64 percent of students believe that the First Amendment shouldn’t protect hate speech, 30 percent believe campuses should prohibit some politically oriented speech and 10 percent believe it is acceptable to use violence to prevent someone from speaking.

Restricting free speech isn’t an uncommon problem. A report by the Foundation for Economic Education found that nine in 10 colleges

restrict free speech in some way, usually in an attempt to limit harassment. Vague language in university rules can instead lead to limiting speech that people do not agree with, instead of speech that is not protected under the First Amendment, such as fighting words, which are words that incite or cause violence. “[F]ar too many colleges across the country fail to live up to their free speech obligations in policy and in practice,” the report reads. “Often, this occurs through the implementation of speech codes: university policies that restrict expression that is protected under First Amendment standards.”

In the report, Pitt received a yellow light rat-

March 27, 2019

ing. The report views a yellow light institution as one “whose policies restrict a more limited amount of protected expression or, by virtue of their vague wording, could too easily be used to restrict protected expression.”

With a large number of students believing that free speech should be restricted in some ways, Trump has a responsibility to uphold the First Amendment by not supporting colleges that restrict free speech, but by signing an ineffective executive order, he is falling short of his responsibility.

PANTHERS LEAVE PAW PRINTS PITTSBURGH PIRATES REMAIN ON NCAA TOURNAMENT STAGNANT FOR 2019 SEASON

Trent Leonard

Dominic Campbell

The Pitt men’s basketball team, as we all know, did not make the NCAA Tournament.

The Panthers didn’t even come close, going 1419 overall and 3-15 in the ACC to earn a secondto-last place finish in the conference.

Although the Panthers are absent from the tournament, you can still see their paw prints marked throughout the Big Dance if you look close enough — a sort of five degrees of separation. From teams Pitt beat, to ex-Panthers playing for other teams, to their own head coach making appearances in the broadcasting booth, these are the ways Pitt’s sphere of influence has extended into March Madness.

Staking a National Championship claim Pitt missed out, but four teams it beat in the regular season made the cut: No. 4 Florida State (75-62 on Jan. 14), No. 7 Louisville (89-86 OT win on Jan. 9), No. 13 Saint Louis (75-73 on Nov. 21) and No. 15 Colgate (68-54 on Dec. 29). The Panthers also nearly beat No. 10 Iowa on Nov. 27, losing a close battle 69-68.

This in itself was a nice bit of reassurance for Panther fans, as well as a good pitch for Pitt head coach Jeff Capel to sell to recruits — that his young team beat some of the best squads in the country.

But it also provided Pitt with a path to the coveted Transitive Property National Championship, a purely theoretical award given annually to each team who previously beat the national champion — and a chance for fans to smugly pronounce that their team is actually better than the team who won it all. Pitt’s football team notably claimed this title in 2016, when the Panthers were the only team in the country to beat the eventual champion Clemson Tigers.

The aforementioned teams that lost to Pitt didn’t fare so well in the Round of 64. Louisville fell 86-76 to lower-seeded Minnesota, and Atlantic 10 champion and popular upset pick Saint

With March coming to an end and the season of spring coming into full bloom, the Pittsburgh Pirates will once again begin their regular season.

The Pirates are coming off an 82-79 record in the 2018 season — an improvement over their previous two seasons that saw them finish below .500. Despite the winning season, Pittsburgh still finished fourth in the National League Central and have done little this offseason to improve upon that record.

The Pirates added shortstop Erik Gonzalez and two pitching prospects in a trade with the Cleveland Indians, dealing away outfielder Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff in the process.

Although a utility player for most of his time in Cleveland, Gonzalez was named the starter at shortstop for the beginning of the season, so he may prove to be a valuable, cheap pickup.

The team also added utility outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall, who also played for the Indians previously. Chisenhall will likely be the starting right fielder this season because regular starter Gregory Polanco tore his labrum last August and isn’t expected back until May at the earliest. If Chisenhall also finds himself on the injured list, former AllStar Melky Cabrera, who was added this offseason, could find himself in that starting position.

Other lackluster additions include pitcher Jordan Lyles, a journeyman pitcher throughout his career. His stats won’t get Pirates fans excited, as he owns a 31-52 record and 5.28 earned run average.Still, he figures to be the fifth starter in the rotation, replacing Ivan Nova who was traded in the offseason. Unless pitching coach Ray Searage can work some magic with Lyles like he has with previous pitchers like Nova and A.J. Burnett, it will be another rough year for the veteran.

Aside from Lyles, the rest of the pitching rotation looks to be solid, even verging on elite. Leading this crew will be Jameson Taillon, coming off his first full year as a starter in the majors after

NCAA, pg. 5 North Carolina. It’s a longshot, but they should have the full support of Panther nation cheering them on. Because a win for Florida State is essentially a win for Pitt, so go Seminoles!

Panthers in the tourney You know what they say — once a Panther, always a Panther. Using that logic, Pitt basketball is actually represented pretty well in the tournament, almost fielding a full team of five players: North Carolina senior Cameron Johnson, Georgia State junior Damon Wilson and Old Dominion junior Justice

pittnews.com

Kithcart all spent time in Pitt’s program before transferring out as part of the exodus that followed the 2016-17 season.

Wilson averaged 5.4 points and 3.2 rebounds for a Georgia State Panthers team that won the Sun Belt Championship to earn a No. 14 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Unfortunately, Wilson’s new Panthers drew a tough No. 3 Houston team in the first round and fell 84-55. Wilson contributed eight points and seven rebounds in the loss.

Kithcart also averaged 5.4 points on an Old Dominion team that won the Conference USA Championship to secure a No. 14

seed. The Monarchs kept the deficit respectable against No. 3 Purdue, falling 61-48 in the first round. It wasn’t Kithcart’s finest moment — he went 0-4 on 3-pointers and was held scoreless in the contest.

Now let’s talk about the most accomplished ex-Panther, projected first-round 2019 NBA Draft pick Johnson. The 6-foot9, sweet-shooting forward led No. 1 UNC in scoring with 16.9 points per game and shot an incredible 46.3 percent from beyond the 3-point arc during the regular season. He torched No. 16 Iona in the first round with 21 points on four 3-pointers before cooling

March 27, 2019

off a bit in the second round, scoring 13 in an 81-59 win over Washington.

Watching Johnson dominate on the national stage has to be a little bittersweet for Pitt fans. Sure, he left the program, but he did it the right way, graduating early to become immediately eligible. He still holds Pitt in high regards, saying all the right things about his former program and even receiving a warm ovation in his return to the Petersen Events Center on Jan. 5. Plus, he’s a local boy at heart, having been born and raised in nearby Moon Township.

So cheer for Johnson while you can, because he’s Pitt’s last remaining tie to the NCAA Tournament and his Tar Heels have a serious chance to raise the National Championship trophy.

Capel Broadcasting System If you’ve been keeping up with the tournament, you probably noticed Pitt’s own head coach Capel in the CBS broadcast booth during many of the games. It was announced shortly before March Madness that he would join the studio team for CBS and Turner Sports as an analyst for the Thursday and Friday games.

It was refreshing to see the Panthers’ own head coach on national television, giving the University some free advertising in the form of a Pitt pin on his suit.

Anyone who’s ever heard Capel talk knows that he’s well-spoken, thoughtful and articulate. Now, all of America — or whoever turned on their television during Thursday or Friday — knows it.

Capel, of course, did a great job representing Pitt and its basketball program. The way he gave insight on championships, standards and culture-building, you’d have no idea that this guy coached the second-worst team in the ACC. But that’s just a testament to his high expectations and vision for the future of Pitt basketball — a vision that could come to fruition as soon as next season.

Most importantly, this sort of exposure can only have a positive effect on Capel’s Panthers moving forward, especially for recruiting. Recruiting often boils down to one big popularity contest, where programs will do every little, and hopefully legal, thing to get the upper hand over competitors. Pitt has two 2019 scholarships left, with big-time names like 7-foot prospect Ibrahima Diallo narrowing his list down to Pitt and Ohio State. If you’re a high school prospect on the fence between two schools, seeing your potential coach on national TV could be the deciding factor.
