Cleveland State University’s faculty senate met on Wednesday, Nov. 8, and covered several topics, including reports of campus harassment, criticism of the university’s recent statement on Israel-Palestine and the university’s budget deficit. Kayland Morris, president of CSU’s student government (SGA), told the faculty senate of student concerns at Cleveland State, given the current political climate around the Israel-Palestine violence. Morris said that some students are feeling unsafe on campus due to harassment of students both in-person and online.

Cleveland was once a booming city for popular artists. Iconic acts like AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Prince and Michael Jackson held some of their biggest concerts in the heart of Cleveland. From 2014 to 2022, the city even held a spot on the 25 highest-grossing tour list. The music scene is still thriving, but big names often opt to pass on Cleveland, going to cities like Cincinnati and Pittsburgh instead. But why?
